Ever heard a joke that says it's a question about what the easiest job in the world is? Some say they are Australian Great Barrier Reef caretakers, others say they have a very easy job at the moment, but the result is the goalkeeper of the Italian national team, (Buffon is not happy) because they have the back line of Chiellini + Balzali! Although this is a joke, in some ways it already tells us how terrifying this pair of defenders known as the "Second Old Man" is, so that it has become a consensus, and as a former "world guard", Chiellini also has his own views on football.
As a rare highly educated talent in world football 1 and even in the sports circle, Chiellini has obtained a master's degree in economics and management from the University of Turin in 2017, it can be said that his football IQ is indeed superior, he is also known for his defensive stability on the field, and last summer he also led the Italian national team to the dream of the top of Europe as the main central defender and captain, winning the European Championship. The key pull he completed against England youngster Saka in the final was arguably the most crucial decision he made.
Similarly, the same decision happens around every defender, and chierini talked about the downfall of Salah shortly after The 2018 Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool and Ramos down Salah shortly after the start, chiellini talked about in his recently published personal biography! "I think this foul is simply a stroke of genius as a defender", Chiellini expressed his support for Ramos's behavior from the beginning, "he is the best defender in the world, he has qualities that no one else has, he knows how to shoot in key games, without him, players like Marcelo, Varane and Carvajal will be like schoolchildren, Real Madrid will become a team without defensive ability!" “
It can be said that this statement came out, Chiellini can be said to be absolutely will trigger a condemnation, many people have come up with the old past to ridicule him, it is always known that in the 2014 World Cup group stage, Italy encountered the South American powerhouse Uruguay, in the 3rd round is also the last game of the group stage, Uruguayan striker Suarez in the game on Chiellini to perform the famous "Tyson-style" attack, he directly used his sharp mouth to bite Chiellini's shoulder, and then the referee did not have any penalty, Italy also lost that crucial match and was out of the group.
Many fans directly take out the Incident of Suarez to vent their anger, but Chiellini is indeed a rather intelligent person, as a defender, from his own point of view, what the defender has to do is to intercept all the opposing players who threaten the safety of the goal, so as a good defender, as a world-class defender he is indeed qualified to say so, but poor Salah is unlucky, and many Liverpool fans will not be willing.
