CBs are only as good as the team in front of them nowadays. The team has to defend as a complete unit to take pressure off the CBs since today's referees are much more strict, attackers look for any chance to go to ground and are generally quicker and more skilled than ever. A 1 on 1 is a very tough position for a CB nowadays.
A 4 man backline that features a partnership of Barzagli and Chiellini is more than good enough to compete. In fact, it would be one of the better partnerships in the world.
Bayern dominated with Dante and Boateng. Man City won the EPL with Kompany and a rotation of imbeciles beside him. Atl. Madrid has arguably the best defense in the world with Godin and Miranda (who are actually both good players but not as good as ours imo).
The last thing we need to worry about are CBs if we are going away from the 3-5-2. We need a team infront that all attack and defend at a high speed. Players like Sanchez, Di Maria, Cuadrado, Pedro, even Nani can at least run and pressure opponents.
