Acerbi, Bastoni
Oldschool Italian defender - one of the most underrated players of this team - and one of the most underrated defenders in football.
Overcame cancer twice to keep bossing at this level? Fucking impressive.

The way he operates in defence is beyond explanation. We almost never look shaky with him in the pitch. Does things simple and effectively, but also dictates entire line like a real mentor. That blocking shot tackle in the second half was a la Walter Samuel.

If only we could make him younger though. Boss performance though. de Vrij has been rock solid whenever he's played aswell, but there's a thing that Acerbi has an edge over him, and it makes us impossible to score against.

Today was 10/10, but he wasn't like that at the start of the season when we lost points against teams we should've beaten.

I am very happy he is at his best right now, just when De Vrij is injured :D

Had Acerbi been here during Inzhagi’s first season instead of that walking mediocre cunt Skriniar we would have won the scudetto.

He’s been our best CB since prime Samuel

I will keep him another year. But obviously there is a risk because of his age. So we need to have a back-up plan. Let de Vrij go and buy a long term solution for central CB. one year they could alternate until Acerbi is done and the new one is ready. Unfortunately Inzaghi is not the best in managing minutes. He usually overplay his favourite.

No, he doesn't. There will always be other CBs too, I don't want him to be here until it's too late and we lose too many points because he can't handle it anymore. He's a proper bastard, doesn't mean we won't find another, even if his replacement won't be that.

Yes, he does. And I didnt said that it means that we wont bring or try to bring his replacement. Just look at Luka Modrić, 40 years old, who comes from a bench and still helps alot. Both on the pitch and out of the pitch. This guy is not just a great player, he's a master of his craft and young player that comes can learn from a master. He should be here for minimum 2 more years.

This guy is a natural leader, both on the field and off. His presence in the back line resonates a strong and calm defensive line.
It is understandable that we are exploring potential replacements.
However, so far, none of the rumored candidates are on a similar level to him.
We could bring new CB in and let him study Acerbi, or we could wait until next season. We will evaluate at the end of the season.
There are also defenders who play far beyond their years, like Costacurta or Pepe.
Good thing is his playing position is one where defensive skill experience is particularly important, rather than relying on his speed.
