ok, Chiellini is a world class musclehead/destroyer/marking type defender ... but doesn't have the footballing intellect and ability to read the game to be a WC defender like Nesta, Canna, etc, etc.
hey, you should be happy now - I did call him WC at something
Yeah, nesta who was named as one of the best centrebacks in football history and cannavaro who won a golden ball here, beeing a central defender
Lets not mix up world class with legendary
That reminds me allways of anti ajax supporters. dat zlatan ibrahimovic goal at the end of his ajax carreer, where he walked past 6 players and scored.
most heard opinion "if the defence was maldini, nesta, baresi and stam, he wouldnt have made it"
world class : top 3 of the world in his position. peroid
An interesting fact is that this mercato was the first one in 7 years where teams sold for more than they bought for. Teams sold for 371m and bought players for 347m..
