Capitano Giorgio Chiellini (103 Viewers)

[Alin]

I wouldn’t risk him more than about 45mins in the next two games, just have him prepare a bit longer and if we do manage to pass Lyon and go to the next round then we will definitely be needing Giorgio back, best to keep him fit and ready from the UCL QF’s onwards, even in this current state he is an asset to have, frankly i trust a crippled Chiellini to captain this team to glory way more than i trust a fit Bonucci.

He only played 4 games. He needs to play one more game in order to get a medal. Emre Can gets a medal because he played 8 games for Juve. Is that correct @Alen

So it then means that most likely we’ll see him make at the very least an cameo appearance in the next couple of games.

I dont feel comfortable seeing him play any more. He gives me an impression that he’ll get an injury any time he touches the ball or goes down.

pinsoglio played zero games. he'll still get a medal, just as rubinho always received one iirc

Does Emre get then? Or does that rule apply only to players who move in midseason?

Yeah he’s obviously been struggling with fitness for some time now but perhaps if he does eventually get a good run of weeks/games without issues he’ll be able to make a decent comeback i believe, frankly we do need his physical presence and leadership out there when it gets ugly.

I’m not giving up hope on him just yet.

Never heard of such rule except for the EPL

We'd be through to a later stage in both of the last two seasons had he been fit. Actually I realized he's been missing 4/6 times we've been eliminated from the CL.

We would've won in 2014/15 had he been fit for the final. Barzagli being done by Messi on Suarez's goal would have never happened to Chiello. Though ofc I do not mean to insult Barza. He might've been better than Chiello overall.

Him missing the final in Berlin was just killer

Ogbanna of all replacements ffs

 

[Hydde]

Now that you mention it.. he is almost always missing in the crunch parts of the season.

Sadly it just mean one thing.

 

[Lion]

can't wait to see him back next season.

gonna be great watching himROFLSTOMP teams while partnering DL or Demiral...or both next to him next season.


god i miss this ugly gorilla so much

The last great italian defender of these times.
Sadly Italy hasnt produced great defenders, nor goalkeepers, as they seem to be, left and right on the past.

 

[zizinho]

No one?

At any other club Demiral-De Light would already be starters.

And we still rely on grandpas. I hate this.

PS I know i know... injuries

Demiral maybe, but De Ligt gets into the starting 11 of very few top teams.

I don't think he's finished either. Just hope he stays healthy

When did you last see a CL winner or at least serious contender with a pair of 20-22year olds as starting CB's? Not saying it can't eventually happen given the quality of the two in question here but odds are sure against that notion, usually it's a good balance between experience and promising, and you don't need me to tell you that(see Real,Barca for ex with Pique-Puyol or Ramos-Varane), but the ideal scenario ever since last season would have been to have DeLigt/Demiral grooming next to Chiellini and not as much with Bonucci, circumstances unfortunately obviously didn't allow it, point is i don't agree, i prefer another year or two of transition and overall i'd feel much comfortable with a Chiellini - Deligt/Demiral partnership if we play with two CB's and ofc if Pirlo really considers 3 at the back then we obviously will be relying even more on the old guard, which wouldn't be that bad of an idea atm, provided Chiellini stays fit and Bonucci does at least the basics right ofc.
