yeah, he really was great ... here i do give you some highlights of his defensive quality
2:42 de ceglie is the one that is supposed to mark de jong who just heads wide
3:24 his direct opponent has the ball at his feet and de ceglies defending actually consists of backup up leaving more then 2 metres to the opponent in OUR BOX without doing anything that would hinder the opponent to play the ball into the box
(not to mention that this was the scene that lead to that shot against the woodwork)
twice he almost cost us a goal against us and that is just what you can see in the highlights ... if you say grosso is a liability, then i dont know what de ceglie is.
