Juve, is Chiellini better on the left?
He was born as side defender, in Livorno and Florence. He was then transformed in a central defender before Deschamps, in Serie B, then by Ranieri, but over the years has also played left-back for Juventus and the national team. What is the role best suited to Giorgio Chiellini? Fans and experts are divided; there are those who consider him the best midfeilder Italy, or those who think he is right quarterback for Conte and Prandelli.
In Juventus he has almost always played in the middle and even this season it should be like this, next to either Bonucci and Barzagli although he has not always been convining and with the departure of Ziegler and the arrival of a central defender in 4 months (Rhodolfo plus di Alex and Bruno Alves)he could be diverted to the left.
The same can be said in the Italian National team, with Prandelli who has not abandoned the idea to move him back, as he did in the friendly with Germany in February. The decision to deploy him in the centre with Ranocchia, seems due to a lack of viable alternatives. Chiellini has played in the midfield for years, but still seems to have not made the leap in quality. Against Spain and the modest Faroe Islands he played badly and against Slovenia did not show confidence. A problem in view of the European Championship.
