Chielin reveals unprecedented details, speaks of rivalry with Ibrahimovic

Juvenus captain Giorgio Chillini has returned to speak his career and not alone. In an interview for “So Foot”, Italian shows rivalry with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and makes a comparison between him and Ramos or Van Dijk. In the end it pauses to the topic of creating Europe's Superleague and the lack of fans.

RIVALITY WITH IBRAHIMVIC I must find a worthy rival to give my best. I respect Zlatan and him very much. We were team friends at the first season when I came to Juvya. I was never afraid to face him, not taking a step back. He became an absolute enemy when he went to Inter, then a normal opponent to Milan or his national team”.

DI E LET WRITER IN KING E AND TECNIC CHIPS I feel very good when I win a duel. Give me a huge adrenaline when you block a dangerous blow or avoid a certain goal. It is a happiness unlike that of a note, unmatched.

The goal I scored in the quarterfinals in the League Champions against Barcelona gave me much less satisfaction than when I stopped Harry Kane marking in the 89th minute. For normal “players” like me and Barzagli you have to be pessimistic and predict the worst. Andrea is a very good protector, but we don't have the qualities of Sergio Ramos or Virgil Van Dijk”.

LIFE STORY CRIJING OF SUPER LEAGUE No fans make no sense. Emotions are missing, but it's better than nothing. Unfortunately, we all have to fit in. Five years ago I told President Agnelli that I hoped to play against teams like Real, Barca every week, PSG or Bayern Munchen.

For high-level players, it would be very good, maybe a new form of the League Champions. At this time the pandemic has a lot of uncertainty, and no doubt football has to improve”, Chielini concludes.
