I am trusting Beppe, it's his job to get the players Conte wants - including those for depth. Nothing goes through without being green lighted by the coach. I trust that he'll get Lodi if that is the idea, but I really hope it ain't.
His ability as free kicks is brilliant, probably the best free kick taker in the league, and he can pass the ball anywhere around the pitch, as a vice Pirlo you can't ask for anymore than that.
Idk if you're being serious right now, but it's not that hard to "contribute" when you have guys like Vidal, Barza, Chiellini, Pirlo, and co. covering your ass.
