Giorgio Chiellini Quotes

I think Coutinho's a great team player with a huge amount of talent. He can use both feet. He scores goals. He links play well and gets between the lines in attack.

I'm famous for being a silky midfielder.

I like Jorginho, the way he plays and passes.

I will aim to become a No. 10 who can score goals. Just like Lionel Messi does for Barcelona.

Pogba is an incredible player. He has wonderful qualities; he is extremely strong.

The best player I ever played with is probably Cesc Fabregas. I only got to play with him for a year before he went back to Barcelona, but I learned so much from him - the way he knew what he was going to do with the ball before he got it and his passing - and he scored goals.

Pogba is a midfielder who has all the qualities. When you are a midfielder you normally have some special qualities but he has everything.

Samir Nasri is a very technical player who always made the difference playing as a midfielder when he is fit.

As for Kaka, he is a superstar... someone who can change the tempo of the game as well as the team.

Everyone says Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, but I would have love to have played with Luka Modric. I think he's an incredible player, really strong mentally and a pure footballer.

Dembele likes to take players on. He's a dribbler and a power player who likes to break into space; he has the ability to do this. He has a lot of virtues.

Even in training Paul Scholes proves he is one of the best midfielders about, and Michael Carrick as well.

Playing in midfield is a different ball game. You have to be on the half-turn all the time, have a different picture in your head of what is behind you and in front of you. Playing at right-back is different again.

One that I like and I think could play here is Coutinho. He has the style of Barcelona.

Raheem Sterling is a danger to every defence because of his pace and technique. If you let him go one against one, you are in trouble. He has that speed with the ball at his feet to make a difference.

Kante is a good player. For me, it is good because he speaks French. We know he is a fantastic player; he runs a lot and works for the team.

My idol was always Tomas Rosicky. He used to be phenomenal. He had such a good eye for an opening and knew where his team-mates were, and he was so quick.

I watched Felipe Luis a lot of times. I played against him in Spain. I know he is a very good player.

Guardiola likes footballers who can pass the ball, who have eyes for the best position and the right runs.

Paul Pogba is a very good player.

My overall favourite player would be Iniesta. For his final ball, obviously, his skill, and his ability.

Dybala's game is easier on the eye, but Pogba is extraordinary because he has physicality and technique.

For me, David Silva is a fantastic player because his technique is incredible, and he understands when the right time to pass the ball is.

Ozil is a genius. He has one-of-a-kind vision for the game. He has two eyes in the front of his head and two eyes in the back.

All players rolled into one: from defensive midfielder to attacking midfielder to attacker. I want to take the qualities from everyone. I'd like to get to the level where I have everything: Vieira, Deschamps, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Henry, Ronaldo. It wouldn't be bad, that.
