Former Italian player Davide Moscardelli has named Giorgio Chiellini as the toughest defender he has ever faced.
The former Juventus man left the club at the end of last season and remains a man feared by many attackers.
Juve have struggled in his absence and some of the best attackers didn’t like to face him.
In nearly two black-and-white decades, Chiellini helped Juventus win several trophies.
They did it by having one of the best defenses out there, and if you ask any attacker who has played against him, very few will say they enjoyed the way he marked them.
Moscardelli had a long career and found joy against various defenders, but he always struggled against Chiellini.
When asked who his toughest opponent was, he said, as quoted by Tuttomercatoweb:
“The defenders? Chiellini was stronger, it was almost impossible to overtake him”.
Juve FC says
Chiellini is one of the most difficult players for most attackers to deal with, and the defender continues to play for LAFC.
Juve are one of the biggest clubs in the world and he showed he can deal with the best of the best when he played for them.
With luck, we would soon discover another center back as good as him.
