During the “Serie C business value” event, Inter President Giuseppe Marotta shared his insights on former Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini, with whom he previously worked.
Marotta noted that while individual awards like the Ballon d`Or are typically given to attacking players, there are exceptions like Chiellini. He described Chiellini as a “gritty defender” and a “great champion.”
“I worked with Giorgio,” Marotta stated. “His human, professional, and leadership qualities must be highly valued – he possessed them.”
He further emphasized that a player solely focused on scoring goals and performing well only on an individual level does not truly contribute to the overall success of the team.
