Here's the comment from the above site on Ciani (considered the worst player in the field and graded 4 on a scale from 1 to 10):
"Always late, lacks focus, tired/breathless. The strong defender seen against Genoa does not exist anymore, he gets even the most elementary passes wrong. Insigne makes him look like a fool, is fouled, penalty. Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde, it is to be hoped the "real" Ciani is no the one seen this evening."
Ciani made a dumb foul inside the penalty area after Insigne was playing can-and-mouse dribbling him and Napoli was awarded a penalty that Cavani missed. Here are the match highlights

thanks for the translation
since it seems that they don't know what kind of player they bought, i'll tell you what kind of player he is
ciani is just a physical black player with no skills and no intelligence
now let's have a look at his career, something that lazio obviously didn't do:
-->he was bought by bordeaux at the start of the 2009-2010 season
bordeaux won the league the season before
now with ciani and white defender planus as central defenders they did a good first half of the season and it looked like they would retain their title
they had an 8 points lead at the half of the season
ciani scored an owngoal in champions league vs bayern munchen:

ciani was called for the french national team because of bordeaux's good results: he played against spain in france during a friendly match
unfortunately france was totally humiliated during this match, especially ciani
after this humiliation:
http://youtu.be/ojxFIH1IqfI ciani was never called again in the french national team
-->then during the second half of the season ciani was exposed as a clownish defender, because white defender marc planus was injuried, so they played with 2 black central defenders
3 days after his humiliation vs spain, he got a red card after just 31 minutes in the first half against montpellier
then just after this he was clownish again in the final of the french cup against marseille, ruining the effort of the club to retain this title that they also won the past season (with white defender planus being voted best player of the final when they won it)
then in the first leg of the champions league quarter final vs lyon he makes his team lose again, he was absolutely pathetic and guilty on each goal
here is the first goal of the match with a bad mistake by ciani:

in the rest of the season he got another red card and bordeaux finishes at a very disapointing 7th place
-->then in the next season (2010-2011) under new coach jean tigana ciani plays less but highlights of this season for him include a pathetic 5-1 defeat to lorient, where he was clownish, and a few weeks later they lost 4-0 at home against sochaux, the biggest defeat in more than 30 years for the club
during this match ciani was so bad that he was replaced after just 35 minutes in the first half (all of the 4 goals of the match were scored while he played ofcourse)
-->during the 2011-2012 season, under new coach gillot, ciani had an horrible first half of the season
he scored an owngoal in the first match of the season vs saint etienne:
[video=youtube_share;RYXeEuSG3zE]http://youtu.be/RYXeEuSG3zE[/video]
then against auxere he was guilty again, his team was leading 1-0 but then he was very late and he deflected the shot of a striker into his own net, and bordeaux lost 2 points because of him
he was no longer a titular
but he still managed to make his team lose: during a match vs dijon, his team was dominating and the score was 0-0
but then at half time ciani came in because a white defender was injuried during the first half
ciani was horrible and bordeaux lost 2-0 (here is a picture making fun of his performance:
http://horsjeu.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/ciani_dijon_bordeaux.jpg "my team is dominant, i come in at half time, we lose 2-0: like a boss" there are many others made by bordeaux fans making fun of him:

bordeaux was in a relegation position
after this match, he was no longer part of the team and didn't play in the rest of the first half of the season
then in the second part of the season gillot decided to play with 5 defenders including 3 central defenders, because bordeaux no longer had good players so they decided to play like a bad relegation-bound club
ciani made less mistakes in the second halh of the season because there were 3 central defenders (but still had many bad matches, like against evian thonon gaillard, ajaccio, and dijon)
but the bordeaux fans are very disappointed to go from a team that won the league with yohann gourcuff the genius, to a team which starts up to 7-8 blacks and looks clueless, with no skilled players
and then lazio decided to buy him
they should have asked me (or any french fan) who was ciani, they would have saved 2 millions euros :icon_lol:
2 millions, that's the price napoli paid for 21 years old brazilian international bruno uvini with italian passport
not to mention that back then alessandro nesta didn't cost them anything because he was trained at lazio from early age (as a local player)
