I find it difficult to believe he's as old as I am, he looks older...perhaps it's just that he's achieved a lot more than I have

I always think the vast majority of footballers look significantly older than they are.

Robben looks about 50 and Pirlo looks about 600. Del Piero looks about 20

Best Italian defender right now.

Did Mourinho ever want him for Real Madrid?

Good article expressing what we were discussing about Chiellini (great ability, lacking leadership)-

I love that site, brilliant writing and it oozes with Juventus love.

Not as bad as Buffon not winning a CL yet.

Buffon said it a million times that winning a trophy with Juve now will be worth more than all the silverware he could have ever won elsewhere, and I agree with him, it will be 100 times more rewarding for them. Kinda like Totti's 2001 Scudetto is more special than the 8 titles that Ibra has.

We will be like Dallas, With Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry, and Jason Kid, they all deserved it and in the end they all won. Let's hope Buffon and Giorgio have same luck

I also said he lacks leadership and got blasted for this.

Poor and disappointing last season for Chiellini. He started well but then started to fade down like everyone else in our defense. Didn't prove as a leader at all.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I don't know about others, but I never said he's a great leader.

In general physical exposure like the one footballers are exposed to usually does that to the body. This is why people with desk-jobs usually, actually, look younger than they are. I don't remember how I learned this but I know that is how the body works. Of course there are exceptions like Pippo, Henrik Larsson and so on but in general the more physical exposure the more you "age". This does however not mean it is unhealthy or that you live shorter or anything else. Apparently it's only the looks that are effected. Sorry for the trivia but I think it's interesting.

Make that 2, said the same thing about Chiellini few years ago. Personally i think Giorgio have confidence issues.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Care to share how you concluded that?

Must be reversed for women...

Always seems awkward with his reactions, just a general feeling that i had whenever I've watched him play. I remember one time when he was given that oscar award for best defender in the league few years ago. He looked "extremely" shy and awkward.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

And that means he has confidence issues... :undecide:
