His technique, playing ability and defensive qualities allowed Bonucci to move to Turin , namely, to Juventus just a year later. After some time, Bonucci became one of the key players of the “old Signora”, organizing, according to many people, one of the most reliable defensive lines in recent years, together with Giorgio Chiellini and Andrea Barzagli , having established himself as one of the best defenders of world football.
Club career
Leonardo Bonucci is a pupil of Viterbeze , a team from his hometown. In his youth, he played for a long time as an attacking and central midfielder , and sometimes as a center forward , but at the age of 17, on the advice of Viterbeze coach Carlo Perrone, he moved to the defense center [4] , where he found the perfect application for his high growth, physical strength , the ability to "read" the game, select the ball and start attacking the team with long and diagonal passes .
The International
In the summer of 2005, at the age of 18, he transferred to the International on a rental basis.
On May 14, 2006 he made his debut for Inter in the Italian Championship match with Cagliari , replacing Santiago Solari in the 90th minute [5] [6] . Inter bought the Bonucci contract at the end of the season [7] , but the next season he played in only three matches of the Italian Cup , replacing Walter Samuel and Fabio Grosso .
As part of Inter, Bonucci won the Italian Youth Cup 2005/06 and the Italian Youth Championship 2006/07.
Treviso and Pisa
In January 2007, Inter, wishing to acquire Robert Aquafresca , lost 50% of Bonucci's rights to Servis B Club Treviso .
On July 1, 2007, Bonucci officially became a Treviso player. Bonucci spent 1 season at Treviso, playing in 20 matches of Series B 2007/08. In June 2008, Inter bought the rights to Bonucci from Treviso for 700 thousand euros, but left the player in the club on loan already [8] .

Bonucci made his debut for Bari in a match against Inter, which ended in a draw 1: 1. In Bari, Bonucci became a solid player in the starting lineup of the team. The duet in the center of defense with Andrea Ranocchia , who also belonged to Genoa, made Bari one of the most rarely missed teams in Serie A (after the first round, the club took 2nd place in this indicator). Only after the injury of Ranocchia did the effectiveness of the Bari defense decrease. The Russian club Rubin showed interest in both players, but the leadership of Bari refused to potential buyers [11] [12] .

September 18, Leonardo scored the first goal for Juve in Serie A, hitting the gates of Udinese [16] . In his first season as part of the “Bianconeri,” Bonucci made up the “core” of the club’s defense along with Giorgio Chiellini and Andrea Bardzagli , most often playing between these two defenders at a 3-5-2 position or on the right in the center of defense at 4-3-3 . This trio received the unofficial name of the BBC , composed of the initials of the names of the defenders [17] .
In the 2011/12 season, a new coach was appointed to the team - Antonio Conte . It was expected that the team would finally go over to the scheme with two central defenders , as the new coach often used just such tactical schemes in his previous teams, because of which Bonucci was forced to leave the main squad and move to the bench, however, after several experiments with tactics Conte returned the circuit with three central defenders, allowing Bonucci to return to the starting lineup again [18] . Over the next several seasons, this trio has established itself as one of the best defensive lines in world football. [19] [20] [21] On April 2, 2012, Leonardo’s contract with the “old Signora” was renewed until June 30, 2017 [22] .

[28] On November 24, 2015, Bonucci was nominated for inclusion in the UEFA Team of the Year. [29] On March 2, 2016, Leonardo first entered the field as a Bianconeri captain due to the absence of Gianluigi Buffon and Giorgio Chiellini , scoring a decisive goal in the Italian Cup match against Inter at San Siro , which allowed Juventus »To reach the finals, however, due to the yellow card received during the match, Bonucci was unable to take part in the final match, in which Juventus won and won the cup. [30] [31]

The second half of the season, after Montella’s dismissal and the appointment of Gennaro Gattuso , was more successful for Bonucci [44] , due to the installation of a clear game model and the end of tactical experiments, as well as the choice of Alessio Romagnoli as the second defender in a pair with Bonucci [45] ] .
