Unfortunately, football is currently a game of pussy players. There are not many like Mandzukic. It's good that Agnelli knows about it and extended the contract to him.
Mr. footballer! leader, vicecaptian. Thats exacly Juve i love.
If I was going to a party, I would prefer one Mandzukic on wing rather than the whole team of Milan.

It's no secret that i absolutely hated Mandzu when he was at Bayern or when he played against Italy. Same with Licht at Lazio, but it's so important to have those kind of assholes in your team. You just have to love them.
Important is that both are likeable and down to earth guys off the pitch, not some full-blown assholes. It's just during those 90 minutes when they switch into warrior mode.

It used to be you cant only judge on goals when he was playing winger and much more energetic defensive play style that had significant impact. But right now he is playing CF and is zero goal threat in him and isnt even putting half the effort he used to do. His general play impact is really little, half the time just walking around and occasionally battle for few balls. Seems to only show he is hard nosed energetic warrior in few big games nowadays (like last night, he was very good 2nd half), but on weekly basis is extremely underwhelming efforts. Is far from justifying his starting role.

I think it's a modern trend in football of having a classic CF who is not being the biggest goal threat in the line-up but enables those around them to have more space. I see it in Diego Costa (2 goals, but good at hold-up play) starting with Griezzman who has more space because of him. We saw it with Giroud at the WC and also in the past with Benzema keeping defenders at bay and enabling Ronaldo to have more room.
Mandzukic is the best partner for Ronaldo at our squad currently. Therefor he'll be a a starter.
It tells me that for half a season we did not have a viable alternative for the big physical CF, Max likes to play with. After Kean has come to the scene and consistently outshines Mario at every occasion, it tells me that we have a coach who are still afraid to bank on a 19 year old to be our starting CF. However if Kean continues to perform, and when Cuad and Costa hopefully are back from their injuries soon, there is no room for a player that provides very little offensive output in our starting 11 any more.
