Attack/Defence Awareness Card: Defence Minded

Does he deserve 90 for DEF?
Sure he is a fine defender and all, but he was better than Benatia, or Hummels or even his partner Chiellini? i found very weird that...IMO he should be pair up with Chiellini who is a better defender than him...

In my opinion yes, he's better in terms of DEF than Benatia, Hummels and Chiellini. Chiellini in better in other terms, most in BB, and he's more reactive.. In the positioning or in the 1-on-1 Barzagli is better than him.

Maybe he's not so well known in Europe like Chiellini.. But I think that in the last 3/4 years he played bad 2 or 3 games with Juventus, in the other games was perfect.

Barzagli has been the best Serie A defender in the last 3-4 years, IMHO surely better than Chiellini who has better physical skills but he is too "stupid" and clumsy.

I'm not sure about attack, it seems too high for a defender who never goes up in the box during corners or free kicks.

Agree , Barzagli is a better defender than Chiellini who is a better athlete

ATT 65 -> 63
AGG 65 -> 67

Are we sure his defence was that inferior during Palermo's period? I'd go for 86.
SA and ST in both sets should undoubtedly be on 60-61, and that's being generous.
About speed, he was never that fast. TS and ACC should be both on green in both sets.

Actually I always thought he was very fast for a defender, even in his later years he’d apparently be near or at the top of Juventus’s speed tests in training.

Really? I don't honestly know. He may have been one of the best in speed tests but in matches he didn't seem that fast to me to deserve yellow value. I think 79 in TS is enough.

Yeah, this comes to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpXr4UJ8B0M&t=2m50s

His top speed was always high, maybe you could bring his ACC or AGI down a little bit but I wouldn't go below yellow for TS.

Mmh I guess you're right. His TS may be on 80 in both sets, ACC 78 in the first and 77 in the second, AGI 75 in both.
