Stupid dive, he should have passed the ball instead of doing like he got snipered by some hitman.

He should of just shot.

Well, he was shot.

My bad, he's suspended for multiple yellow cards but I think he'll be banned too.

Nah, it'll just be the normal one match ban for getting a bunch of yellow cards.

Rightly or wrongly, you only get bans for diving when you successfully con the referee.

Never heard of a ban being given for a dive when the ref has seen it and given the yellow card at the time.

There are talks about 2k euros fine. It's like nothing if it's true.

bonucci wipes his ass with 2k euros

 

[WΏΏdy?]

This was the most stupid dive ive EVER seen, beats gilardino's dive by miles! Its embarassing to watch, every time.

Props on the defensive work though, i hope he continues improving

He will never try that again, for sure

 

[baggio]

That belongs on the Borrigol showreel.

 

[Hydde]

definitely ion the top 5 of worst dives ever.

I keep thinking.....one of the main reasons why this "outdated" 3-5-2 formation works so well for us is because of Bonucci and his passing which got better and better as time went on. He is just a weird player, and i mean it in a possitive way. Could you imagine being the other team's coach? What would you do? Mark Bonucci? Waste a player on him? Or just let him free and allow him to deploy his long balls which will eventually hurt you very bad?...................i dont know, this is just my opinion.

It's good to see that his passing has improved A LOT and that allows us another option if Pirlo gets marked out.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

that's definitely why Conte wants a proper ball playing CB at the back like Bonucci. It's good that his general defending skills seem to be improving too - positioning, marking and one on ones.

 

[The Arif]

Now he needs to work on his dives.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

No, his dives are wonderful.

 

[The Arif]

Yes, if you're into shooting scenes.

He has been improving immensely since late last season.

He has been improving immensely since late last season.

Its the same with every Itallian CB in the history of the Itallian game...... They develop at a late stage. It has been always like that. Chiellini is slowly reaching his peak and he is 27 or something. Barzali is very, very close to his peak and his 30. Bonucci is still learning and he is 24ish. You see the pattern here?

And yes people. Chiellini will become even beastier!! And Barzagli too. Why shouldnt we dream that Barza might become Cannavaro 2004-2005-2006? How old was Canna back then? 33? 34?

 

[ZoSo]

Bonucci 25, Chiellini 28 and Barzagli 32.

Cannavaro was about 32-33 in 06.

I think Barzagli has at least 2-3 years left of being as good as he is now, Chiellini probably 4-5+ and Bonucci like 10.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Barza-Bonucci-Chiellini in WC 2014 either.

Coaches, while not marking Bonucci, have been making more of an effort to close him down recently.

They've been choosing to allow Chiellini a lot of space to carry the ball forward into instead, as that is being viewed as a safer option than allowing Bonucci time on the ball to pick a pass.

Not entirely sure what I'd do in that regard if I was coaching against Juve.
