When Chiellini put on the Zebras shirt, no one would think that the shirt would also come off the day, Chiellini personally confirmed after the Coppa Italia final that he would leave the team at the end of the season, and the ten-year Juve career ended, Chiellini said that he would become a Die-Hard Juve fan and continue to support the team as always.
Chiellini, now 38, is an uncompromising veteran and the Most Loyal Soldier of the Bianconeri. When we think of Juventus's totem, we may think of many names, but Chiellini is definitely the most dazzling one. He was also the most loyal leader of Juventus. Chiellini was 20 years old when he first landed in Serie A and even had a record of scoring goals against Juventus, and after this game, the Bianconeri chose to buy it back, and a legendary journey began. Chiellini, who returned to Juventus, did not become the core of the lineup In the 05-06 season, he was just a regular substitute, and no one could think of the outbreak of the phone door incident in 2006, and many meritorious veterans left the team one after another, which gave the young Chiellini more room to play. In the 06-07 season, Juve returned to the top league, and Chiellini got more playing time, but Juventus during that time was not a contender for the title, and Chiellini was still waiting, still dormant.
In the 11th-12th season, the Bianconeri won the league championship again after many years, Chiellini is no longer young, and the Bianconeri has also experienced vicissitudes. Later, the Bianconeri continued to carry out drastic reforms, and the only designated overlord of the league had a lot to do with the iron wall built by Chiellini. Even though Juventus' backline has changed over and over again, with Bonucci even wearing a red and black shirt, the BBC defence is still the strongest wall of sighs in the league.
In the Italian national team, Chiellini is also the absolute core of the defense, 2008 ~2021 Italian football, although it can win the European Cup champions and runners-up, but in the World Series blues performance has been unstable, 2014 World Cup early home, 2018 and did not qualify for the finals, followed by, the 2022 World Cup once again fell in front of the qualifiers, the 38-year-old veteran has been unable to wait for the next World Cup, Chiellini can only regret to bid farewell to the blue shirt. Chiellini also thought about saying goodbye after being eliminated in the qualifiers in 2017, but he hoped to continue to fight with the younger generation, but now he does not have that determination, the Italian national team must also be reformed, and veterans like Chiellini will one day be able to watch from the sidelines.
Top defenders of the 21st century are not rare, but there are not many stable and loyal leaders like Chiellini, he is the hero of Juventus and the soul of the Allianz Arena, although the black and white stripe will become history, but the attention to Juve in the heart, loyalty to Juve will never fade.
