Wow. Good cherry pick. Did you watch Bonucci-Chiellini hold Messi-Suarez-Neymar scoreless over 180 minutes? Be the only defensive pairing to beat Madrid in CL in the last 5 years in 2014/15?
You seem to miss my point. Both Bonucci and Benatia need Chiellini (or Barzagli) next to them.
I wouldnt be thrilled with Benatia-Bonucci pairing which will possibly happen during the season if the deal goes through.
Benatia is overrated for sure. What is the good in defender who is 89 min good and then 1 min blunder which cost us.
Genoa, Madrid, Barca. Not one game. Benatia is clear example of a defender who looks good in serie a but not in CL when it matters.
I used to think Real cheated us but i saw the pen incident different angle and Benatia fcked up given he should have experience to deal with the situation.
Bonucci has had his fair share of poor defensive games over the years. His qualities are different anyway. We simply arent as good with the ball since Bonucci left. I hate those runs Chiellini tried to make with ball last season. Then lose ball and out of position.
I knew smth was fishy when Bayern was quick to get rid of Benatia so fast after spending quite big on him. I know injury issuss are easy excuse but maybe also reasons for those blunders.
