imo Chiellini is perfect as CB against Portugal and Criscito just let me down.
He's made some suicidal passes and allowed too many crosses from Portugal.
It's clear that his touch on the ball is quite good but he just didn't take an active role in both defense and attack. It seems Chiellini has played as both CB and LB in that match and later in the match he just didn't want to pass the ball to Criscito cuz that means Criscito will just pass back to him ....
I really doubt what Buffon said "He's the most talented young italian defender around". In fact that should be Chiellini.
