Chiellini delighted with defence
Thursday 17 April, 2008

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini was proud of the way the Bianconeri defended against Parma yesterday.

While David Trezeguet and Raffaele Palladino received the majority of the plaudits, the Old Lady’s defence barely seemed to break sweat as they contained a lacklustre Ducali side.

“We played well and we deserve a share of the credit for them doing little,” Chiellini told the Juventus Channel.

“The relationship with Guglielmo Stendardo is going well. He had a great game and has integrated well as a part of our mechanism.

“We did the opposite to what we have done all season and put the game to bed in the first half.

“David’s goal took the wind out of their sails and it was all downhill from there.”

Chiellini concluded by discussing his personal duel with Parma striker Bernardo Corradi.

“We are good friends,” he insisted. “On the pitch we tussle and there are blows, but we hug at the end of the game.”
