offensive players usually develop faster than both midfielders and defenders because they are less risky to have in a team defensively and therefore giving them a chance won't be too risky especially in serie A. I would really really give them a go as number 1 starters and see how they adjust to our truly world class midifield and defence.
No mate, thats a bit easy.
The reason forwards peak earlyer, has to do with the mental part.
Midfielders and defenders get better when they age, because their positionning, timing, interceptioning, tactical vision and anticipation becomes much much better.
more creative players, especially skill based, peak earlyer, because they are all about acceleration, agility, creative trickery, doing the unexpected... all stuff you learn at younger age. You will offc refine it, but not as much.
However, it is true that they get used earlyer cause doesnt pose as much risk to field as defenders/ midfielders
We have 1 world class defender. Bonucci is close to it when he is at the top, but Chiellini is far from it and has been for a while now.
I agree, alth you are hard on chiellini
His anticipation and tackeling is world class. His decisionmaking is horrible
Actually berardi is 6'0 while Insigne is like 5'4 or 5'5
I believe in Berardi and Insigne to become great players
Not sure Insigne will overcome his small size. But Berardi certainly has potential
I don't know.
but balance is key. you get your hard workers and combine with geniues like pirlo and a mata to get a balanced side
