Leonardo Bonucci: In a desperate bid aimed at persuading Chiellini to postpone his retirement plans
Italian defense-rock Leonardo Bonucci has insisted he would persuade partner Giorgio Chiellini, into postponing his retirement plans.
This is coming after Cheillini aided Italy in clinching the Euro trophy, by edging past the Three-lions in the finals.
In line with that, Bonucci insisted he would be putting all efforts into making sure Chellini would be available for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The partnership of Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Cheillini
The partnership of these two Italian greats has been a major force to be reckoned with.
Both players have been quite awesome in defense for Juventus. Particularly during the 2017/2018 season, under Juventus boss Maxi Allegri.
Still, it is interesting to note that the form of both players did not only stop at the Old Lady. They were both fantastic all through the Euro competition as we as the finals.
In line with how rock solid their outings have been, Bonucci is determined to see Cheillini put on hold any retirement plans.
Possible agendas for Gorgio Chiellini
The Italian center back is no longer the youngest of players these days. According to the records, the legendary defender would be turning 38 in the early stages of 2022.
In line with that, signing a one-year contract with Juventus until the end of next season would not be a bad idea. This would see him fresh and fit for the World Cup showdown in Qatar.
This would be to the delight of Bonucci, who is poised to make sure his defensive counterpart would feature with him in Qatar.
Conclusion
The partnership of Bonucci and Chiellini has proven to be one of the greatest in modern footballing history.
Despite not lifting a Champions League trophy, both players have statistically proven to be defensive rocks. With Bonucci having two Champions League final appearances to show for it.
It would certainly be a pleasure to see both legends feature for Italy in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
