Juventus are a side that can defend properly without actually being a defensive side. They've got great balance too. They also have vast experience and it shows. That said, they've always been a team that veers towards experience over youth, and so many of their key players down the years have been well into their 30s (or 40s, in the case of Zoff - Buffon could go on into his 40s too). When the stats men do those average-age-of-the-team reports, I'd bet that Juventus are usually in the 30-and-above bracket.

I remember when we were after a left back and reports suggested that we were looking at two Italian options - Chiellini (who hadn't yet properly established himself at Juve) and Dossena.

 

At least we've the memory of those goals against the Mancs and Real Madrid.

Chiellini had played about 90 games for Juve by the time we'd signed Dossena.

 

You could argue he wasn't established as a centreback for all of those 90 games because he played both left back and Centre back but anything else is a massive stretch.
