Quite well I believe. All 3 are strong and smart players.
Chiellini has a history of marking the team's toughest opponent in games and completely nullifying them: Cavani, Ibrahimovic, Higuain etc.

Anyways, a competition "like the BPL", the most overrated term in the history of the sport


Disagree mate, if its not for the quality they make up for in pure strenght. Ofc I'm biased since I'm passionate about the BPL however

I wonder how these italian defenders (Bonucci, Chiellini and Barzagli) would do in a competition like the BPL



Wohls be fantastic if Conte could lure one of them to Chelsea :P

Meunier to PSG


Another wierd transfer.

PSG have Aurier, Van der Wiel and Marquinhos that play RB, they would all have to leave for Meunier to have a chance..

He's a great player and he played a decent EC, but he won't be able to beat those

Van der Wiel signed for Fenerbahce.

They'd probably do ok, but I believe they'd have their flaws exposed and not live up to the expectations, like other defensive Serie A stars such as Materazzi, Thuram, Cannavaro, Zambrotta, etc.

Perhaps if they played in a very italian-minded team they would shine as much as they do in Italy, but it's hard to transform a foreign team to an italian minded one.

I'm not taking away anything from these italian defenders; they are the probably the best in the world at defending the spaces they are given in the system they play in, but they are so specialized at it that most of them struggle when adapting to a different system.

Stil have two other strong contenders in that RB spot. I really hope Meunier will succeed

Marquinhos is primarily a CB though.
