What i liked most, is what few actually saw
1) the way pirlo, not vidal, kept hamsic out of the game by completing the triangle around him, cutting him off the feed, forcing him to run near eighter pogba or vidal to be able to receive passes. The maestro had such an amazingly good game.
2) Barzagli, is so, SO very strong in 1v1's. Seriously, EVERY single time he comes forward to anticipate the attacker, EVERY time he gets the ball, EVERY time he wins the duel. Chiellini is good at this versus stronger players when he's in form, but Barzagli wins every duel against every player.
SO, SO far ahead of anything "defensive" we got.
