Chiellini: The strongest striker I have ever met is Ibrahimovic, and the one who taught me the most is Ronaldo

Recently, Chiellini reviewed his career in an interview with Vivo Azzurro TV and talked about the days of fighting with his teammates Bonucci and Barzali.

Reviewing my career

"I played for almost all levels of national teams, and since I was a child, I dreamed of wearing a U15 or U16 jersey. I started my career in the early 2000s and made my debut in the Serie C League in Livorno. In the 2004/05 season, I briefly joined Fiorentina and made my Serie A debut."

17-year Juventus career (2005-2022)

"I regard this as my second home, and Turin has become my city. I have paid a lot for this club: I sacrificed some of my private life, but received extraordinary sports achievements and the love of millions of fans."

The strongest opponent I have ever faced

"The strongest forward I have ever met was Ibrahimovic, we played football together in Italy, and the one who taught me the most was Ronaldo."

Reviewing some impulsive behaviors when I was young

"The image of the warrior was indeed a part of my character, but at that time I seemed to need an enemy. Later I realized that it was a waste of energy, especially after my daughter was born, which helped me become more mature."

The first time I stepped into the Coverciano training base

"It was a Christmas game, and I was 15 years old. I was very excited to think of what happened afterwards . "

Disappointment moments

"The World Cup was always not going well for me: in 2010 and 2014 we failed to qualify in the group, and we didn't even qualify for the next two sessions. After losing to Sweden in 2017, I didn't sleep well for several nights."

The victory at Wembley Stadium erased these bitter memories

" That experience left me with many unforgettable memories, a great joy, shared with all my teammates. "Is the BBC combination (Barzali, Bonucci, Chiellini) the strongest Italian defense in history

" Although our name is still remembered, But I don't think we are the strongest. With Buffon, we do write a history of Italian football. But when I think of Bareci, Maldini, Nesta, Cannavaro, obviously I don't feel stronger than them. "

" Now, Bastoni is doing very well, and there are young players like Calafiori and Buongiorno, hoping that they can grow without much pressure. Looking to the next World Cup, I hope the lads can advance and bring joy to the kids who have never seen Italy compete in the World Cup. I dream of a final between Italy and Brazil coached by Ancelotti, which will be a historic showdown. "
