Giorgio Chiellini (35). The Juve captain is considered a tough, uncompromising defender on the pitch. Besides? Here, too, he can hand out heartily, as his book «Io, Giorgio», which he wants to present next week, proves.
–
In his autobiography, he verbally grabs two former players from behind in the legs. “I was really disappointed by them,” he says in an interview with the newspaper “La Repubblica” – and thus gives an insight into his work.
–
The first one meant? Mario Balotelli (29), former teammate in the “Squadra Azzurra”. Chiellini relentlessly accounts for him: “Balotelli is a negative person who has no respect for the group.” At the Confed Cup 2013, in the game against Brazil, he was of no help at all, said Chiellini: “He really deserved a slap in the face.”
–
Balotelli’s standing is also overrated: «Some thought he was one of the five best strikers in the world. I never thought he could be in the top ten or 20. »
–
“The worst of the worst”
Ex-Juve teammate Felipe Melo (36) also comes under. Chiellini: «He is the worst of the worst. There was always a risk of a fight with him nearby. » He could “not stand” people who lack respect. Melo is a “rotten apple”.
–
Chiellini is not afraid of seeing Balotelli or Melo again: «« I have no bad will. If I have to tell something to these players, I’ll do it. I am not everyone’s best friend, but they are the only two who have exceeded all acceptable limits. »
–
In any case, the reactions are not long in coming. Balotelli, today striker at Brescia, says via Instagram: «At least I have the sincerity and the courage to say other things in the face. You have had enough opportunities to do that since 2013 and act like a real man. But you didn’t do it. Who knows what you will say one day about your current teammates, weird captain. » And: he never treated the national jersey disrespectfully, said Balotelli.
–
Melo? The Palmeiras midfielder says via “Gazzetta dello Sport”: “It’s easy to talk badly about others with a book.” Chiellini was “a freak” about whom more could be revealed at this point, “but some things have to stay in the locker room”. (mpe)
