let's not pretend he was a bad defender. 8 different coaches had him as starter in the last 14 years
But because this fan base is full of dweebs and dorks, he'll never get get the appreciation he deserves and fans act like he was an average player carried by Chiellini and Barzagli.
It's funny. Serie A/Italy rarely gets any respect abroad. But even the English pundits talk up and appreciate Bonucci for his career. It's only the idiots here that refuse to give him credit.
Which is a big reason why I hate so many in this fan base and like to troll them for fun --- because so many of them dont deserve good things.
