After a lot of years, the national selection of Italy remained out of the World-wide , that in this case will celebrate in Russia the summer of this year 2018. Giorgio Chiellini, one of the mythical players of the selection and still fundamental piece so much in the Juventus as in the combined national, regretted the impact of Guardiola in the elimination of the Italian selection.
"Pep Guardiola ruined to the Italian defence", commented the central in an interview that publishes The Gazzetta dello Sport. "It is a fantastic technician, with a fantastic mind; but the Italian trainers have tried to copy it without having his knowledges", said, adding that "in 10 years have lost our identity".
Chiellini Also left clear that the fault of defenders with the characteristics of the era in which Italy was an authentic defensive wall has affected negatively. "We have lost the identity of Maldini, of Baresi, of Cannavaro, of Nesta... Only we have now to Bonucci. In ten years have not taken out a big defence", commented.
The fact to remain out of the World-wide of Russia affected very negatively to Giorgio Chiellini, that recognised that "this summer will be very hard, the months of June and July will be a stab", since it will have to see the competition by television. "I will follow the results, but no the parties from the sofa", commented the defence.
The methods of Conte
Antonio Conte is now trainer of Chelsea, rival of the Barça in Champions, but in his stage in the Juventus left good memory to Chiellini. "It is like a sergeant of police. When you finish to train, are died. No tired, died. You can do it only because you create in what it does. But with him we feel something very special, creates a good atmosphere. It is one of the best", signalled the defence.
