After that game, he could walk away from international football for good and Bastoni is considered one of the players that can replace him.
The current seria a champions inter Milan just started his life time international career but the italian legendary defender Chiellini sees him as a high professional as he shares his opinion via Football Italia: “When Andrea Pirlo retired, everyone was worried about finding the new Pirlo, but there isn’t anyone with his characteristics, so we had to create a new type of team.
“Bastoni has different characteristics to me, but Italy can sleep easy at night knowing he is there and I can assure you he will be remembered not as the new Chiellini, but as Alessandro Bastoni.”
The same report then claims the defender thanked the Juventus man for passing on the baton.
The old ladies issued an official statement that"
Chiellini will be missed at the club and international level, but it is important that we think about replacing him on the team now.
Bastoni would be his perfect substitute in the national team, but Juve needs to find a new defender who will fill the void he leaves behind in their team".
