Had a really positive second half against Wales. Could have scored one, and laid out an assist on a plate only for Belotti to miss. Come to think of it, he also set up Immobile in the game against Switzerland which Ciro bungled as well…

A secret weapon for this Italy team. Is amazing against tired defences.

No doubt, but the question is whether he is a better partner for Immobile.
It's not just about a better partner for Immobile. Berardi fits the whole team, and Mancini, better.

Stylistically Chiesa and Berardi are opposites which is good because Chiesa can offer a change, but Berardi is certainly a better fit overall.

To only mention "fit" as an edge to Berardi doesn't do him justice though, we prefer Chiesa because he is our player but Berardi is definitely better at the moment, also older, Chiesa will have time to surpass him soon (hopefully). Berardi is Sassuolo's playmaker and still scores 17 goals this season just in Serie A, with a G+A every 100 minutes. For Mancini he has scored or assisted in every match except for one in the last 8 or 10 iirc.

Him vs Chiesa is a perfect situation for Mancini.

I think that Chiesa is the better player tbh.

starting Berardi and putting on Chiesa to run against tired defenses seems the smart play now, Berardi has been excellent

if you want to start Chiesa, only place i can see him based on recent games is on the left instead of Insigne if he is tired or Mancini wants to mix it up, Berrardi just gives the extra ball playing potential abit further up the pitch atm and its working well

Big game player...

The club always speaks about projects and people at the centre of those projects... Just make him the centre of the so called project and build around him, bring few more Chiesas and we're basically unstoppable...

How berardi starts in front of this guy is beyond me he's played 3 games now and apart from setting up locatelli once he's been average in my opinion he's so predictable always wanting come inside on his left foot to shoot chiesa is twice the player he is

Really at his best on the right side. It is absolutely baffling to me why coaches continue to change his position from right to left.
His performance always drops a notch when this happens.
