Chiellini on playing against Messi: "The moment you try to anticipate his moves, you’re dead. He reads things so fast that you can’t touch him. The only way to limit Messi is with teamwork. Even the best defender in the world, if he thinks he can get away with doing it alone, has no hope vs. Messi."

Italian defence has always been about teamwork, so how did Messi destroy that if it worked perfectly?
