from their lineup from last night I'd say Ronaldo, Kroos, Casemiro, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal all have serious grinta, others like Marcelo, Benzema or Modrič are no pussies as well.
To me, grinta is what Chiellini is..broken nose, no light tackles...players play hard but there is a step above that...that step is what Chiellini is IMO.

The grinta is missing more in midfield and the fullback positions.
Yeah, totally.

The last grinta player we had in CM was obviously Arturo.

well for me it's determination, grit, the will to force your way through no matter what. I'd say Chiellini, Licht have it, Mandžukič used to have it, sometimes Pjanič turns it on. it's what makes Licht try one combination after another on that right flank until something goes right, what makes Chiellini go on slalom runs when everyone else's head has dropped

If Chiellini had the big game mentality of Ramos he'd be better.


Ramos isn't half the defender Chiellini is, but he has a clutch mentality and whereas Chiellini looks unstoppable most games he bottles it against elite teams. Ramos will fuck up against Spanish farmers but win you the CL.

When did Chiellini get infected with the 'happy to be here' smiling media friendly bullshit that Buffon has.

Holy dildo of Stormy Daniels! Did I just see soemone post that grinta ie. determination is bullshit [in football]?

Determination is perhaps the single most important factor for succesful athletes (and people in general).
