Because if we don''t have Chiellini fit who would you put in 3-5-2 in such a huge game?Rugani?
Yeah. He just had a good game the last time around and from the way Allegri and Marotta and even other players talk about him he is supposed to be really talented. Youngsters tend to do well in these tough tests, I remember Varane for instance stepping up the plate even though he was inexperienced.
I understand its a gamble because he might completely choke but I'd rather Pogba, Marchisio, and Dybala are in their best position doing what they do best rather than force the entire team in an uncomfortable position. Our attack was toothless every time we played this 4-4-2 formation and in this game we must outscore Bayern and so we much be at our best going forward.
10 our of best 11 players in their best position and 1 supposedly talented youngster is better than having most of the squad out of position.
Plus Chiellini might return or play for most of the game that is yet to be confirmed.
