Juve still after Barzagli! (16 Viewers)

[Thunderball]

This was a critical time for him and he dropped the ball.

He stopped being a solid presence and started being a liability for Palermo this season. Where he went this summer would have determined his chance for a future:

Go to Fiorentina (or Juventus) and get a solid coach in a solid team playing in top competitions surrounded by great players (Juve moreso obviously), take a little less money to make it work. Probably end up a better player for it.

Go to a mid-table German club, get some UEFA matches, get partnered with another weak-link whose drive and talent died with that own goal and probably stagnate or get worse.

sebastian thats not nice i think he is good but maybe i am wrong because a champion would like to play on a Champion team and not a mid table team.

I'm sure Barzagli considered all the things you guys mentioned but at the end of the day he chose money. He isn't the first footballer to do that and he certainly won't be the last.

Maybe it's because I'm obsessed with watching the Shawshank Redemption

Fookin awesome film mate

 

[Marko]

Maybe he was the fifth, sixth best defender at that time.

I would rather say 3rd or 4th, because he was substitute in national team, and he was 24, 25 at that time.

Two fucking years ago. Not now.

That's your opinion.

For those who rate Barzagli, just go and watch the highlights for the Juventus 5 - 0 Palermo game we played just this season in November.

Defense of a team is not only about CBs.

okay sorry molinaro doesn't belong to that list he is great but am i wrong than if you're a player with motivation you want to play for the big teams not for a team who is fighting for an uefa cup place or fights to stay in the top league. maybe he is scared to be on the bench

But one-on-one ownages is something else.

Come on, this is not good example, their team have fallen to pieces in the early stages of the match.

Come on, this is not good example, their team have fallen to pieces in the early stages of the match.

Yet the World Cup champion, the class defender, the Italian blooded stud, the future of defending lost almost all one-to-one confrontations.

Barzagli just fell on his ass

What's that for? I'm not from Italy.

True that.

The whole conversation is not only for you. I know you are not from Italy but I know how do some members here go on about Italian blood.

I'm not representative of Barzagli fans on this forum.

I love it how all those who rated Barzagli are taking the news. The overrated, of Italian blood, lame defender's real level has been finally uncovered.

My sentiments exactly.
