Bonucci, best in Serie A

Leonardo Bonucci has changed team but his playing style continues to be the same. Milan’s new captain continues to be one of the best in Serie A.

One of the secrets of Juventus success in recent years was inevitably linked to presence of the AC Milan’s new captain Leonardo Bonucci, a true defensive playmaker in the bianconeri’s formation. A powerhouse in defending but also able to start the play from the back. The defender is a player that can give a whole new dimension to the rossoneri’s play with his pin point distribution of the ball from deep and the kind of character who will prove invaluable to such a young, inexperienced squad.

Leo Bonucci has been able to maintain this unique skill even in his new adventure in San Siro. The 30 year old defender born in Viterbo is the player who has completed more long passes in the first two Serie A games (sixteen passes). A nice start for the 42 million euros purchase who many consider to be the best centre back in the world.
