The news on May 25, after the Italian national team has announced a 33-man roster, the Italian team will go to Sardinia this week for a four-day intensive training camp.
With the season's Serie A season over, the Italian national team players are on Tuesday heading to the tourist destination of Sardinia, where they will train until 28 May. Italy will then play a warm-up match with The Fish Belly Team San Marino to find confidence, and according to the status of the players, the final 26-man squad for this summer's European Championship will be announced on June 1, which must be mentioned, captain Chiellini.
Veteran captain Giogio Chiellini (born 14 August 1984 in Pisa, Italy) plays as a centre-back for Juventus F.C. in Serie A and captains juventus and the Italian national team. He has been in the Italian national team squad since 2005, and in 2012 Chiellini helped the Italian national team to a runner-up in the European Championship. In 2018 Chiellini began as captain of the Italian national team. Why is Italy's backline so stable? Of course this is not Chiellini's personal ability, and those who know him well must know that he was playing in midfield in the first place. As I got older, I moved to a winger and then simply changed to a full-back.
For Italy, the more familiar is Zidane's hammer Materazzi at the 2006 World Cup in Germany. But we are talking about Chiellini today, also in the group stage of the World Cup in Brazil in 2014, Uruguay vs Italy, which should have been a focus battle on qualifying, but the Suarez bite became an important reporting point in the media after the game. Even after FIFA added a penalty rule, that is, if a player bites in the game, he directly receives a red card and leaves the field, which is actually aimed at Suarez's bite 4 years ago. A few years after the World Cup in Brazil, Chiellini even published a book that chronicled the experiences of his career, including the scene of Suarez's shoulder bitten at the World Cup, and surprisingly, Chiellini also praised Suarez. I admire Suarez's evil nature, because if he didn't have that trait, he would have been an ordinary player too. At the 2014 World Cup, there was nothing weird about that day, I spent most of my time watching against tall striker Cavani, who was too technical and a difficult player to keep an eye on, and I didn't lose a hand against him in European games. Suddenly, when I was staring at Suarez, I realized that I had been bitten on the shoulder, and that's what we all know. But that's the strategy he (meaning Suarez) takes in physical confrontation, and if it were me, I probably would do the same. I was very angry and complained to my teammates and the referee."
Not only in the national team, but also in the period of the traditional giants juventus in Serie A, Chiellini was also known as the iron guard. With his backline, it's really too stable! There was a time when not only the Italian national team but also Juventus were able to keep a clean sheet. This is somewhat similar to the 10-year World Cup winner Spain, who believes in 1:0 doctrine!
Chiellini adhered to the fierce shoveling of the Italians, as well as accurate feet, a strong and stable body, and a high success rate of breaking the ball, so he rarely ate cards in the competition. His physical condition is excellent, his air defense ability is very strong, and he can even break his head and bleed for a fight. Headers are also often credited on the attacking side. Good at the opponent's initiative to grab the ball before receiving the ball. Because he is a full-back, his speed is also very amazing, and he can often complete the steal before the opposing striker gets the ball. In addition, Chiellini is able to command his teammates on the field and is a full-fledged defensive commander.
About the Italian captain Chiellini, if you still have any views, I hope to leave a message in the comment area below, I will take a serious look, learn from everyone's point of view, the next issue of Xiaobian will continue to push the top ten central defenders of the European Championship.
