Marchisio dominates the Azzurri midfield (1 Viewer)

[Marty]

Claudio Marchisio once again confirmed his international credentials by putting in an impeccable display as Italy launched their Euro 2012 campaign with a 1-1 draw against defending champions Spain.
Supporting the midfielder’s top performance against the Barcelona trio of Fabregas, Iniesta and Xavi are UEFA’s Castrol Edge Index statistics, which place him top with a score of 9.15.
The 26-year-old, a dominant presence throughout, struck two shots on goal - one of which tested Iker Casillas shortly before the break - proved effective in possession, and made a vital contribution in tracking back to perform his defensive duties.
The game also illustrated Marchisio’s phenomenal work rate – only fellow Juventus midfielder Emanuele Giaccherini covered more than his 12,179m.
Castrol Edge Index: Spain v Italy
1. Claudio Marchisio (ITA) 9.15
2. Cesc Fàbregas (ESP) 8.99
3. Andrés Iniesta (ESP) 8.3
4. Xabi Alonso (ESP) 8.24
5. Sergio Ramos (ESP) 8.18

:flag1: I firmly believe he is world class.. I can't think of anyone to replace him in the MVP-midfield. Asamoah must be considered rotation for either of the three as Marchisio simply reached WC level this year IMO
