Capitano Giorgio Chiellini (94 Viewers)

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.

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

few matchdays ago in Serie A

 

[JuveJay]

Mind games, he'll make the final

No FUCKING way.
Jesus, stop this with Barza.

Speed ain't the issue here, Never played on the left side of a 2 man defense recently let alone vs Messi and Suarez and of course his fitness is an issue as he has recovered just 60 hrs before the match.

Great find.

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

Not to mention Slippin' Giorgio's giveaway.

In the CL,against Real Madrid last yr,they did fairly ok.

Absolutely gutted that he'll miss the game; it obviously means everything to Giorgio, he's worked so hard for this. Thank goodness Barzagli has a couple full days of practice, we all know that he is one of the world's finest CBs.

One thing we can all be damn sure of is that our team is going to be extremely motivated by this. They'll really want to win this for Chiello, and honestly, sometimes these types of big injuries -- when the squad is deep enough to absorb them -- they can add a ton of fuel to that competitive fire.

Not gonna derail the thread but surely you can remember some of his passes against BVB, Fiorentina, Palermo, etc.

As for Chiellini's loss. It hurts because we can't switch to 3-5-2 during the match but Barzagli is a better CB than him.

 

[Inglip]

Great find.

Yep, Giovinco scores in this one

In Berlin 2006 Final. Guess he'll be watching from the stands again.

Good news. I'm so much more comfortable with Barzagli in defence than Chiellini.

Barzagli will do Wonders, no need to worry.

fuck thiss and fuck everything

i guess @Lion is happy that someone will miss it

no man, as nervous as i am about chiellini making mistakes, the chance to see him rofl stomp messi would be worth it.

What do you mean we can't switch to 3-5-2 ?

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I'm just really sad for him. Fuck, we'll have to win it again next year for him then.

This is true but has Barza's health and availability confirmed as 100% ?

Maybe best move in his career.

The three goals we conceded in the playoffs were directly his fault.

What's odd is that I am hearing footie pundits singing his praises now. Just a couple days ago I heard Stewart Robson and I think also Paul Mariner call him the best centerback in European football right now.

Which is all great, but it should have been 2-3 years ago -- not now. The past couple of seasons, he's not been at his best.
