Without Chiellini Barzagli is a Ogbonna No, nothing 3-5-2 – La Gazzetta dello Sport

June 4, 2015 – BERLIN

Bonucci and Barzagli in training: will pair in central defense since the injury of Chiellini. LaPresse

No way, not quite the Champions of Giorgio Chiellini. Slip in the going of the second round with Borussia Dortmund and scored giallonero, “handball” in the quarter in Monte Carlo and admonition to avoid worse, penalty resulted in the Bernabeu and the final at risk, until the goal of liberating Morata. Now the injury to his calf that knocks for the match against Barcelona in Berlin. A pity, because the “Gorilla” was recently raised to form and had felt very much after the goal that earned him the comeback against Lazio in the last act of the Italian Cup.

MORE THAT BARZAGLI Ogbonna – And now what? The first thought is the companion of a thousand battles, Andrea Barzagli, who has just returned to the group after the stop that had alarmed the Juventus medical staff. The impression is that Juve will do anything to throw into the fray, despite Ogbonna is suitable to occupy the position of central defender left, that left uncovered by Chiellini. The rearguard would become, therefore, Lichtsteiner-Barzagli-Bonucci-Evra.

GOODBYE 3-5-2? – More and more probable, Now, the 4-3-1-2, because starting with a three-man defense would become complicated: there are no other power available, given the long-term care of Caceres. The 3-5-2 could be a card to use for a few minutes, in case of advantage to handle in the final stages of the race. But not much more than that. An unexpected, the absence of Chiellini, whose Allegri would rather avoid. But put it this way: in the final of Euro 2012, Giorgione was not the best and the attempt to retrieve last minute ended up benefiting the Spanish. Better to have eleven elements in full physical fitness, if you face Messi, Neymar and Suarez … gifts, Barca do not really need.
