Capitano Giorgio Chiellini (61 Viewers)

[BIG DADDY!!!]

Poor Giorgio

Though truth be told if someone was to ask me that I had to choose to lose a first team player to injury for the final I would of picked Chellini.

He's the only one we could replace adequately.

Lets win it for Giorgio!

His injury might be a blessing in disguise. Would always fear that he slips in a crucial moment, makes reckless challenge inside the box, or make some other costly error. I'm sorry that he'll miss probably the most important game of his career, but at the same time feel a lot calmer that he'll be out. Next year when we get to the final he'll have his chance again.

Especially at corners

I think people who expect Barca to be only possession based tiki-taka team will be suprised too. They rely heavily on counters and extremely direct approach of punishing space given to them. Both vs Real and Bayern games, they spent alot of time going deep and patiently waiting for oppositon to have lots of possession then pressure and transition quickly. Luis Enrique defenitely made them a direct first team even if they hold lots of possession still vs more defensive teams. Most telling is if they are leading, you will see them drop off and go deep for last 30 mins or so as I seen them do in plenty big games.

so you think we will hold the ball majority of the time and let them counter attack us?

Farken this sucks. Big loss he was immense vs madrid. Really feel sorry for the guy.

We bet Real without Pogba. We can beat Barca without Giorgio

No, vs teams like us they will have more of it. But don't expect them to hold possession for the sake of it, they will fall back occasionally to get space to counter. Tactically they will change when leading to more withdrawn approach too prolly.

I said something similar earlier. We destroyed Dortmund without Pirlo and Pogba.

yeah, ive seen them vs City, PSG and Bayern.

but i think we wont allow them to play the way they prefer. Allegri will outsmart Enrique in that regard.

Yeah I think we might attack them in key areas at times and then lock it up other times.

ofc because we have a replacement for Pogba, while we can't replace Chiello

Its not only about Barz's fitness, when was the last time when Barzagli and Bonucci played together in 4 man defence?

With a ref like Cakir it maybe a blessing in disguise that Chiellini is sitting this one out. Hopefully it doesn't come back to bite us. Them having Suarez is enough.
