I'm not pushing it, it's a fact. Many here dislike Molinaro and I never appreciated his work at first, but it's not only about Chiellini or Legro, he's been as good as them at least in the last 2months.
Now If some of you want to look at it as Zambrotta being the best LB years ago and compare just names thats something else. But If we're discussing their forms right now, what they're giving and how they're adapting then Molinaro is indeed ahead of Zambrotta. And excuse me but I don't really take the 4-4-2 system that would suit Zambrotta more. We played many formations/tactics under Lippi and they all fit for him.
I agree with you about Molinaro actually. It's disgusting how underrated his performances are this season.
I'm not making a comparison between the old Zambrotta and our full backs. The difference is so huge that it's funny to compare them. I was comparing the Zambrotta of today with our full backs and i still think he is the better player.
Playing for Juve or Milan does make a big difference. There is discipline in Juve. Every player has a duty. Everyone defends. Milan is a circus. Tell me honestly, if Grygera was playing a RB for Milan instead of Zambrotta, do you think he'd have done better? I'm sure he'd have been worse.
The style also makes a difference. Milan are trying to play some champagne football, where it's all attack and no defense. They always keep things on the ground, there are no crosses. That isn't Zambrotta. Even if we changed styles in the past, Juve was never like that. And yet, Zambrotta is still doing ok, even if Milan's style is making him look funny from time to time (not as funny as his defensive partners though)
Zambrotta vs our full backs is kinda like Nedved and Marchionni. Nedved can't do the things he was doing in the past, but his overall quality, experience, football intelligence, still make him a better player than Marco, even if Nedved isn't a top player anymore.
