Top 11 Serie A Players Over The Age Of 35 In 2022

Football is increasingly being entrusted to younger players, but to have success and achieve results frequently, you need the most experienced. In Serie A, older players have a significant impact on their team's direction.

GianlucaDiMarzio.com has published a special Top 11 that is composed of players over the age of 35 from the Italian league. This year, 41 different players were employed as they reached the age of 35 (only players born in 1987 or earlier will be considered).

In the ideal lineup with a 3-4-3 formation, there is also a small number of Lazio's players: Pedro is present, and also a former biancoceleste, Lucas Leiva. The rest of the squads are Handanovic, Chiellini, Bonucci, Criscito, Candreva, Medel, Dzeko, Giroud, and Mertens. Finally, an honorable mention for Ibrahimovic.

Regarding the Spaniard, they write: "We're putting him as a left midfielder, it's a role he can fill, even if he typically plays as a forward. His knowledge and ability to be insightful despite his age are beneficial to him. He previously played for Barcelona, he joined the biancoceleste from AS. Roma, where he failed to have a significant impact there. At Lazio, he had a completely different result. Throughout 2022, he played 34 games, scored 6 goals, and gave as many assists."

As for the Brazilian, they write: "He was a significant player during his time at Liverpool, as well as at Lazio. Five seasons in the Biancoceleste have only enhanced the value of having a reliable midfielder like him in the middle. Always very titular, both with Simone Inzaghi and with Maurizio Sarri, he left Rome at the end of last season to go to Gremio. At the moment, however, he still has a cardiac arrhythmia that was discovered in mid-December."
