Cant believe Vucinic is really being compared to Giovinco!
Just look at how the team play with Vucinic and how they play with Giovinco. Look at what they give on the field, set up plays.
Vucinic is a much better player than Giovinco.
Right now the best duo are Vucinic Giovinco but when Matri is on form then a Vucinic Matri partnership is even better.
And for the one who said he didnt like Vucinic last season - Vucinic Pirlo and Vidal are the main reasons why we won the scudetto last season!
Giovinco played a different role with Parma, where he had an outstanding season. His defensive duties were slender, his offensive freedom huge. He also had more responsiblity from set pieces, which is an area where he can excel. At Juve, the balance between offensive and defensive duties is markedly different. He also has others to contend with for set-piece responsibilities, such as Pirlo. It doesn't take a genius to perceive that Mirko would be naturally better at hustling in that busy area between midfield and attack, he is double the size of Giovinco and more than double the strength. His game is more about getting the ball, shielding the ball, playing the ball. No surprise he is better at this than Sebastian...
If we are going to ask Giovinco to play with more defensive duties than suits his talents, then we have to expect him to struggle at times. Its a lot tougher for a lightweight dwarf to hustle in that hectic area, as its a lot tougher for Vucinic to sprint clear of a defence and race towards goal unhindered. Both have the strengths and weaknesses. We just happen to be using Mirko in a role which suits his skill set, and with Giovinco we are stretching him in ways which aren't as instinctive to his natural talents.
I find it disgusting that our own fans could boo a player who generally gives his all...when we are well clear at the top of the league and doing wonderfully in europe. They seem to have forgotten where we were two seasons ago. Scum.
I am incredibly critical of De ceglie's inclusion in the squad, let alone the first team, yet I always want him to do well when he plays.
Anyway, Mirko and Sebastian are different players, with different talents. Its up to Conte how he sees best fit to utilize those talents.
