"Juventus" defender Giorgio Chiellini ahead of the upcoming match against Madrid's "Atletico" stated that Diego Simeone's team reminds him of a typical Italian squad. This Wednesday "Juventus" will face "Atletico" in the Spanish capital. Both teams are known for their defensive play, but "Juventus" will have Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored numerous goals against "Atletico" in the Champions League. "For me, 'Atletico' resembles more of an Italian rather than a Spanish team," the defender told "Marca" newspaper. "Looking at their style of play and preparation for the match, they are closer to our football. We know that Simeone will play with a backline of four to try to stop us. "Atletico" is a dangerous opponent, but I hope that we will return to this stadium on July 1st (the Champions League final will be played here)," said G. Chiellini. When asked about his individual abilities and whether he feels like the best defender on the planet, G. Chiellini said: "No, that would be Sergio Ramos."
