After being called up for the World Cup qualifiers, rumours indicate that Chiellini might be left out in the game against Armenia, to which Chiellini has retorted.
The Juventus defender was injured during the European Championships in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983, and after his return from injury he has had a couple of nervous moments in defence. This has led many to believe that the Italian head coach would not be going with
the services of the experienced defender, when they set up their line of defence against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Armenia-c2842.
Rumours doing the rounds indicate that the central defensive partnership would constitute of regulars http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giorgio-Chiellini-c14963 on the left, Cesare Prandelli would be going with the services of Domenico
Criscito.
Criscito was left out of the Italian squad that played in the European Championships in the past summer, amidst the allegations that were levied against him. However, after the allegations that were dropped against the Zenit St Petersburg left back, the
former head coach of Fiorentina has welcomed him back to the Italian set up.
When Giorgio Chiellini was quizzed on the rumours that were floating around, he went on to remark that that it does not bother him if he fails to make the starting line up of the Italian national team that faces off Armenia in the World Cup qualifiers. He
remarked that Prandelli has a variety of options at his disposal, and the players that are available to him are high in quality.
The Italians have been playing in a 3-5-2 formation, and there are many who believe that the Juventus defender is best suited to such a formation; but Chiellini disagrees with this proposition, and states:
“Sitting on the bench wouldn’t cause me any problems. There are a lot of very good players in this squad. The CT knows me very well, he has some excellent alternatives and he’ll make the decisions. I’m not worried. The perfect system doesn’t exist, it is
all about the interpretation of the players.”
The match against Armenia would be played on Friday evening.
