Chiellini, Bonucci, they were like defensive masters. They knew exactly what to do in certain moments, they knew how to defend in the box, how to defend outside the box. They're so smart, so clever.

To be honest I'm not a defender who uses their arm so much. You have a lot of defenders who use their arms and push.

Criticism is not bad, it also makes you sharper.

When I was 15, I played in midfield. I was a No 6 and I had two examples: Sergio Busquets and Pirlo.

You look at what's the best for you, you need to make your own decision.
