Daniele Rugani (68 Viewers)

[CalcioJuventus]

Rugani has so much class and confidence. One thing that I noticed in bonucci is he panics at times and you can tell when he is going to play bad by seeing certain body language. Like in the CL finals and Euro final he looked at times like he pooped in his pants. Head down doing his puppy eyebrow thing and wrinkled forehead. He did it a lot more when he first joined us but as tough as his talk was he crumbled under pressure even when considered the best. I don't see it in Rugani which says a lot given his age. Bonucci was not good at all at 23

If nothing breaks the kid or his development, he'll be much better for sure. I just hope Max sees him as competent enough to be a starter, because I don't trust Benatia and Barzagli tbh.

In a couple of years Rugani - Caldara partnership should be dope. Both look too good to not make it in the end.

Back 3 of Rugani, Caldara, and De Vrij

He's still our 2nd best defender after Chiellini. He's currently more reliable and useful than both Barza and Benatia, who should be dead last in the pecking order.

 

[Bianconero81]

Laugh all you want. I stand by my statement

 

[Ocelot]

And he should stand by his laughing.

 

[Bianconero81]

Of course. We all know you are incredibly biased when it comes to Barza. A 23 year old Rugani, the current Rugani, is better than a slower and older Barzagli. Of course, Barza 2-3 seasons ago was arguably our best defender, but he's not the same player anymore.

 

[Ocelot]

Oh, I'd say Rugani should definitely start over Barzagli overall.

But reliability is sort of Barzagli's thing

 

[pavelnel]

He was bad in the first half, no doubt about that and should improve but our midfield is non existent.

Defence is pretty exposed with Khedira giving no cover

 

[Snobist]

He's started in last two games! That's a good sign,

 

[AOD4]

Not convinced with him so far, lets see how long is Allegri's patience.

 

[am0110]

Too slow to be a world class CB.

Give the guy a chance, when bonucci started he wasnt half of current rugani, stop bitching ffs

This.

Bonucci used to have two giant brain-farts per game and looked scared out there.

Rugani will be fine. He just needs consistency.

 

[Juliano13]

He made some mistakes but so far he's performing better than Chiellini.

 

[CrimsonianKing]

This. People are bitching way too soon for players that haven't had many starts yet.

Besides, 11' Bonucci was embarrassing at times, a mistake machine. It took him 4 seasons to really become a solid defender.

 

[Dominic]

He needs a season in which he is allowed to make mistakes if he is to grow.

I dont know whats wrong with some members in here, they will jump to crucify players asap, if you need to remember how was it in the past just read barzali and bonucci early thread pages
