Capitano Danilo (45 Viewers)

[K.O.]

Most of modern setups have one attacking full-back and one defending to make it easier to shift into a 3 man defense in-game. Danilo as a defending full-back and makeshift CB is just perfect. It's all on Cherubini now to find a young and talented attacking left-back to take Alex Sandro's place.

We just dint trust him enough or give him the patience he needs...

just remember what allegri used to say about him: he's got goals in his feet.

tici sold him for the easy plusvalenza, that's all there was to it.

On Danilo playing in midfield. He replies: “I am never out of position, because Juventus is my position, I do what is asked of me and what the team needs.”

That's a great quote.

Danilo is better in the midfield than at fullback. I thought the same last season. Get Arthur outta here

 

[james95]

lol So Danilo is bad all of a sudden because he gave the ball away at 0-2 in the 90th minute?

Na not really. Never really rated him. Solid but we need more than solid. Would never have swapped him for a dynamic, creative Cancelo which this club needs far more than a “solid” Danilo.

Il nuovo Emerson.

I bet cancelo can't play in midfield

Can't remember for sure but didn't Cancelo want no parts of staying with Juve? If so no doubt good foresight on knowing Turin wasn't the place for him.

Danilo is better than most of our fullbacks at being a fullback, a reliable CB, and a better DM than most of our midfielders.

He is like the defensive Cuadrado.

Fantastic player to have. Guys like him are needed in a team.

Stumpled upon this nice article about the hybrid role that he's got and it also mentions him.

 

[Afghan_juventus]

Solid player

I find it ironic and sad that even if Danilo has been probably our second best defender for 2 seasons now, people just dont rate him enough and keep him out of their next season starting eleven predictions.

And their weak argument is that he 'failed' for other clubs in the past.

I like him but I'd like a fullback that can attack as well as defend

Lol any fullback that doesn't know how to attack (cross, take his man one on one, having good technique, good passing(for through balls)), is a mediocre fullback, if he only knows how to defend(granted Danilo isn't too great at that also).
He is more useful as a cm or as a CB than a RB. At RB he is an mediocre overpaid player.

PS that's why he failed in 2 attacking clubs (Real and City), because he is bang average in that department.

same here, that's why i'd put cuadrado there

 

[RoiLezard]

Our only player that was capable of defending aerial threat today. Another great performance.

he’s essentially a CB in allegris system. Take one look at his heat map and you’ll see he spends little time in the other teams half. He’s essentially just cover for Cuadrado in the offensive phase. It’s why I find the comps to Cancelo so annoying. It’d be like comparing Barzagli to Dani Alves. If you want all your fullbacks to attack, take it up with Mister. His tactics do no favors. And if it’s not Misters fault, it’s managements for not finding more modern fullbacks. Last guy I’m blaming is Danilo. He’s been a rock in his role.

Really love what he's done for us.
