Bonucci, the hard tackle on the footballer Houghton in the charity match

Leonardo Bonucci doesn't look at anyone when he has to tackle, even if the opponent is a woman. The video of the sliding tackle by the former Juventus and Milan defender during the charity match at Old Trafford between England and Soccer Aid has gone viral: 10 minutes from the end, with the score at 4-4, Bonucci, 38, slid in on Step Houghton , his peer and former Manchester City player. A very hard but correct tackle, Bonucci ripped the ball from Houghton's feet, leaving the opponent on the ground.
Bonucci, who retired from football two years ago, will be one of the new members of Rino Gattuso 's staff in the national team. Until now he has been assistant to the Under 20 team, where another former BBC Bianconera player, Andrea Barzagli , will arrive instead. The match in Manchester ended 5-4 for Bonucci's team, who had been 3-0 down. Rooney and Duggan scored for England, with a brace from Defoe. For the star-studded team, 4 goals from Carlitos Tevez and a decisive goal from rapper Big Zuu .
