I really like what Ventura is trying to build – fast ball movement, a lot of ball control, but not control sake of control like barca. Eder and Immobile both horrible though, esp Immobile on the wing.

P.S. What a player DDR could have become if he moved somewhere long time ago.

Fantastic crop of youngsters coming up. Let's see if they can manage to win something at international level in the next 6-10 years.

Who is Dickmann? :D

Still need alot of work to nurture them imo.
Huge applause for teams like Sassuolo, Atalanta, Torino, and Empoli. Milan also have a part in it, but they use their youngster becausr lacking quality player, which is sad & good for them.
Also thankfully serie got EDF, Montella, Mihalijovic, and to some point EuroMax to nurture those youngster.

Btw where's Saponara

Adjapong will get his breakthrough if Berardi leaves the club.

Masina will never be topclass and the same for Ferrari. I've higher hopes for Barreca and Calabria. Both looked excellent in the matches they got and Barreca is already starter in a good Torino team. I don't know Dickmann btw so I can't have an opinion about him :p

To mention:
- Florenzi has is still around 24/25 years old and is at the moment the best Italian right back.
- We also have Andrea Conti, but I think his top is at MAX Fiorentina or something.
- Our very own Mattiello??
- Cagliari's Nicola Murru, think he isn't special
- Pezzala, 18 year old left back and got some hundred minutes for Palermo this season.

Special mention:
Federico Dimarco, he was destroying everyone in the Inter Primavera and shows sometimes his class by Empoli. Only 18 years old PERFECT kicktechnique. Captain of Italy U19 and definitely the most promising left-back.

For me these are most promising:
1. Calabria / Barreca / Dimarco
2. -
3. Conti, Masina, Pezzala
4. Ferrari, Murru

No opinion about Dickmann and Mattiello because he is breaking his leg every year.

Forgot about Dimarco.

Anyway it's all a bit random trying to predict Italian players, some guy will probably establish himself at 27 as the first choice left back :D
