Least of the worst of the back four; however, that's not really saying much.

says a lot when he was the best defender for Italy today.
Ignazio is always class when defending. Almost always anyway, leave out all the derbys.
I never thought i would ever say this but to an extent abate has turned into ronaldinho. In the sense that he barely ever these days tracks back the way he should. He just jogs back casually now days when he looses the ball on the wing or the when the other team is countering. Where your work ethics gone boy? 1 great cross:O thoe, thats also kinda ronaldinhoish.

I love this forum. First you guys wanted him out then to be our captain in the future. Now, after he played an ok Euro Final!!! where he was the best defender while the least experienced in a game that was lost due to the worst possible tactics by Prandelli in his life you call him average again? To start with: Italy played the most organised guy as LB and when Chellini was out then there was noone organising back 4. Chellini played LB vs Iniesta which was a joke. Playing a wing back Abate with 3 CB against Spain was a joke to start with. Italy or should play Maggio who is more of a classical/Italian RB or play 4CB and no FB at all.
Midfield was also set as a joke vs Spain. The game lost before even starter however Prandelli made them play attacking football and anyone would take silver before the tournament started as an optimistic dream. Honestly, guys this forum looks like filled with bi-polar disorder.

that cross to Di Natale was quality. he defended pretty well other than the second goal. still looked like he belongs overall. hopefully he continues as Italy's RB through the WC

Seems like he learned how cross and if this translates to Milan then we'll be set with him for a while. His defense has always been a strong point for him bar a few derbies.

THANK you
It's amazing how quick people change their minds on this forum. I even remember the posts comparing how Vidal is a better player then Boateng
Any other player in any other team for people on this forum seem like WC players, Milan players however are automatically average. Abate is the starting RB for Italy, which sported one of the best defences in the Euros. u mad brahs?
spot on. even during the Leo days, he still gave it his all and ran up and down.
this continued on to the 10/11 season which was his best.
but then in 11/12, he suddenly stopped giving a fuck.
my guess would be he's too comfortable in his position as a starter at RB and feels he won't get benched. he needs some solid competition to shake him up. hopefully, Allegri realizes this and maybe bench him for a couple of game with De Sciglio starting.

Abate I dont want to hate on you because you play with so much heart but it doesnt hide the fact you are so shit
Thats the problem he aint or at least wasnt a sure starter for italy until it was clear maggio needs a break.
He just seems like he lost that grit he had under Als first year.
It doesnt seem like it has anything to do with his place being threatened. Also is he yet another milan player seemingly becoming injury prone?
How many injuries did he have after winter? 3 IIRC.......Thats the problem he aint or at least wasnt a sure starter for italy until it was clear maggio needs a break.

Maybe it is due to his personal duties on field? He was very good in defense but one of CB was moving wied right when Abate was in front. What makes you thinh that this kid showed bad attitide in a fucking Euro final lol.
Just look at Milan: we play a certain, vert strickt tactic but with no clear individual tactics in any formations around it. That is the difefrence in my opinion and that is Prandelli's advantage over Al at this stage.
Im not talking about just the final/prandellis italy sadly. Even in milan over the last season he barely made an effort to track back in some occasions even when he himself was the culprit for losing the ball and starting a counter.
His attitude has changed. During allegris first year he bleed for every single ball.

look the game against Tottenham and the goal at San Siro. He came back really slow; however, for most of that season he showed more passion than last season that jt seemed that he wanted to show his dancing skills after every goal, especially from Binho.

I agree with this and it infuriates me every time he does it... He has become too nonchalant... I really hope he steps up now that Nesta and Gattuso has left.
Is he a father?
He took babysitting as a second job because G won't increase his contract.
