The central defender has gone on to comment on his verdict of the game against the Danes, and reflected that they played with fire on various occasions in the game.
The highly rated central defender made a huge gaffe in their World Cup qualification game against Morten Olsen’s men, as he was guilty of making an extremely poor back pass. The Danes pressed high and built pressure in the opening 15 minutes of the match,
which led to the extremely poorly timed pass by Chiellini back to the goal keeper. Fortunately, the Danish outfit were unable to capitalise on the rare mistake made by the Bianconeri stalwart and he went scot free.
The Italian national side was made to earn their pay cheques as they made life extremely difficult for themselves in the opening half and the opening minutes of the second half. Denmark scored early, which seemingly pushed the panic button in the Italian
side and they were guilty of making a few errors in the midfield and the defence.
Chiellini reflected on the performances of the match and mentioned that the Italians should have played better. He was quoted to have said:
“Paradoxically in about 20 seconds either side of the break we made life complicated for ourselves.”
The Italians were down to ten men for the entirety of the second half as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pablo-Osvaldo-c28996 was shown the red card for lashing out at a Danish player with an elbow in the 46th minute of the match. Chiellini remarked that they seemed to play better
when they were down to ten men, and remarked that the defence grew in confidence after the first 15 minutes. He further went on to comment on the qualities of Denmark, and remarked:
“We had a great second half with 10 men, though in a way we were more solid and ran fewer risks in that period. We barely risked anything at the back after the opening 15 minutes. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884 are a very physical side and can make it tough for you.”
Chiellini was rested for the third World Cup qualification game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Armenia-c2842, and Domenico Criscito deputised in his place.
