Err, you might have forgotten how many times chiellini was man of the match and a vital part to get second.
he also made as much rookie mistakes, as bonucci had positional mistakes because of fullbacks failling.
Seriously,i think he has a good future, but please, he's not the next maldini
Its insanely hard to judge our defenders last season, as we played a fair few games with Motta and Grosso involved, both of which made life hugely more difficult for our CBs. Sorensen, to me, did look absolutely brilliant at times. Yes he made mistakes, but more than chiellini or Bonucci or barzagli, relative to the time played? I doubt its a significantly higher %, if higher at all. I am not suggesting he is on par with Bonucci or Chiellini. Not at all, but in terms of tackling ability, one on one covering and confronting, and aerial prowess, for a kid in his first year in italy, coming from the danish second division, he did look very special indeed. far too good to consider just as a kid with potential. His mentality and reading of the game are already well beyond his years. He needs to be taught positional play...a true diamond in the rough I believe/.
