Capitano Giorgio Chiellini (32 Viewers)

Yeah I considered Gamberini, but he has never impressed me when playing for Italy.

But no doubt at Euro 2012 should Italy qualify, the starting CB's will be Chiellini-Gamberini with the other two I mentioned before on the bench.

Fabio Cannavaro: "I told Giorgio he is like the Thuram in his best years, attacking and making himself dangerus in the opponents’ area".

It didn't stop there. Saw the interview. He went on saying:

"Giorgio answered that he can attack because he's feeling assured with the defense but I told him that I was 26 when Thuram went on his attacks and now I'm 36."

As much as I love Chiellini I've never seen a better defender than Thuram at his prime.

Hold that thought, because Chiellini hasn't even reach his prime yet

Well, the question was never about who was taking over after Canna and Nesta. It was more about who would partner Chiellini in the future.

And he is also a leftback

I thought we only called Mexicans wetbacks.

[DelpieroForLife]

you're 2 years late

Did anyone notice that Giorgio is developing a good sense of a striker up front? He positions him self in a very good way waiting for the ball.

 

[X Æ A-12]

Yes, but he is staying at CB

For me it is The year I started calling him the best defender in the world.

Its gonna be close IMO...he has gotta be consistent with the decisions though, he still makes some howlers

 

[Ahmed]

he was officially the best CB in the world after the QF clash with Spain in Euro 2008

 

[Hust]

So u guys really think he is the best?

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I would like to think so, but I would be biased to say that he is. He needs to be more consistent and make less mistakes. He's at his best when faced with a top forward though.

Yeah, especially if that top forward has a huge nose and is a gypsy.
