Without the disgusting personality (wc2006, balotelli incident and so on)He has officially become our new Materazzi

This really shows how hard it is and how vital the position de Vrij has. Grande Ranocchia.
Hopefully people will start to realise that the position de Vrij has is not a position that is hard to cover and is why people like Bonucci and David Luiz succeed there.
We should've put in an effort of trying to sell him instead of Hakimi but too bad it went like this summer did...

What games are you judging Ranocchia on? What's your sample size? Yall acting like he marked Mbappe out the game.The only thing that tells me is that this position does not require speed but needs good passing ability. De Vrij, Bonucci & Luiz are all a bit slow and can struggle in 4 man defences for that reason. But all 3 of them can make some great long passes, have cool heads and know how to pass the ball out of the defence. More like a libero, than a defender.
Ranocchia was compared to the great liberos of the past when he was talented youngster at Bari, so I am not surprised that this system brings the best out of him. I know he has played very little, but I haven't seen a bad game of Ranocchia ever since we shifted to a 3 man defence.
Don't forget 1) Oshimen only played 50 minutes and 2) Skrinny was the one tasked with man marking him with Ranocchia assigned clean up duties.That was the only case when Ranocchia was in trouble in these two big matches. And that case was something where the error had happened earlier as our system relies on avoiding such situations altogether.
The long passes can be solved easily by letting Brozovic do that job which he already do alot.The only thing that tells me is that this position does not require speed but needs good passing ability.

Rano improved so much sitting on the bench and watching Skriniar and Bastoni, right? No wonder Inter tried so long having talents only sit on the bench and hope they automatically turn into the new Messi without playing time.Bold statement. Try to slot Nelson Rivas in and see what happens.
Truth is Rano has improved and he has all the time in the world to study how the role functions by training with De Vrij everyday. Kudos to him but let's not go on suicide mode to dispose of De Vrij right now unless Newcastle is willing to pay us 45M

None of us want to see Ranocchia starting so lets not get carried away with praise. He's no Materazzi and he's no Bonucci or D Luiz. He has been competent last two games, keeping his usual mistakes to a minimum and that's the reason many of us are happy. He can probably get away with a few more of these displays as there're no real strikers left in serie A, but against the Benzemas, Mbappes, Haalands, Suarez, etc I need Rano back on the bench.
