You can not spend 11 years in a club like Juventus, play almost regularly the entire time, be a regular starter for a country like Italy also, and not have something special in you as a footballer. His contribution to the team and his style of play is something that regular football fans whose football knowledge comes from FM and FIFA games, can not see cause he is not flashy and fancy but is a player that stands in the backround and does the dirty work. On the other hand, he also had the luck to play for Juventus in a time where the quality standards have been almost at their lowest maybe since the time Juventus was founded. You have to admit that after Calciopolli the club's standards and also our standards as fans have fallen to an unrecognisible level.
Still, you cant take it away from him that he has been playing constantly for club and country for 10 years straight.

If you were refering to my post then i suggest that you read the bolded part again. Maybe your English is bad so you didnt understand quite well and the sentences i used were a bit longer and harder for you to understand. Marchisio is good, i never said he wasnt, but pre-Calciopolli he would have been shipped to Chievo without hesitation, thats what im saying.
I really don't get those anti-marchisio guys... R we watching the same games? We only lost one game with marchisio in the field this year (against sevilla) and It was his worst performance, so basically if he doesn't play or play badly, we had a good chance to loose. That's how importante he's for us.
