A couple of thoughts about Rugani:
- The last 8 games he has started, we have only recieve 1 goal with him on the field.
- In the last 2 seasons I bet you can remember mistakes that lead to a goal against us from Bremer, Danilo, Gatti and Alex Sandro… but probably you can’t remember one from Rugani.
I’m not saying he should be a starting player but like Jay said, I can’t think of a 5th defender who is more reliable than Rugani in Italy and probably in Europe at the moment.
And here’s something to be controversial… with the current form in Italy’s NT, Rugani could play for Italy NT.
