sorry that i did expect you to have enough comparative skills to see the analogy yourself.
Del Piero had very good technique but never the benefit of being physically stronger and faster than his opponents, so he had to use not only his skill but also his brain to outsmart the enemy, same goes for veratti, he is physically inferior to the enemy but still comes out on top because of pure pirlo-esque skill.
Adriano had (for that time) very good technique and a good strong build so he could physically at least withstand the enemy defenders and not get dwarfed by the physicallity. this led to him just relying on his very strong shot and physicallity to score a lot of goals. he never needed to use his (small peasant) brain, because his physique was enough, just like pogba. he has great physique and his long limps combined with his technique make it too easy for him to cover the ball against the enemy. point here is, pogba gets the ball and two opponents approach him trying to get the ball, pogbas confidence tells him he can keep the ball at his foot anyways so he hussles, making fun of the enemy probably coming out on top, but when pogba actually got rid off the two players, the rest of the opponents defense had enough time to reorganize again. veratti on the other hand would already know where he would like the ball to go to before he gets the ball. he would see the two opponents approach, do a quick body feint at maximum to get a channel to play into and play the ball with his first touch over the defense for one of our players to be through on goal.
the thing is, just because you have the ability to show off and cover the ball does not mean you should do it. dribbling in the middle of the pitch is useless, because there is likely to be someone that is further forward, so to create danger you can bring to ball there by passing it instead of dribbling with 5 miles per hour.
and saying that it would be easy to get a similar player like veratti is just bollocks. i think veratti right now is better than pirlo was at that age (pirlo had huge struggles in inter and could not properly play as trequartista) and i do not know anybody at this age that has his passing ability. please name only one player that is comparable to veratti.

good luck finding a player that has a higher 91.5% passing success ratio and he has nearly double the amount of passes per game than pogba.
don't get me wrong: i do not want to get rid of pogba, but i think with pogba we will have an excellent player on one position, while i feel the impact of veratti could be on all other players as well
i know that dribbling and scoring screamers does look great and you probably think that this is the most important in football, but that is really the simple mans opinion. football is first and foremost a team game and that means for me that passing is a much more important part of the game. do you think barca does score so many goals because they have the best dribblers and shooters in the world ? you could very well see that even though messi, neymar and suarez are all better dribblers and shooters of the ball than pogba, all of them prefered move alot and pass i.e play one-twos instead of trying to dribble into defenders, because football is what you can do together as team and not what one guy can do with a ball.
