Lol people getting excited after a couple or friendlies, bit like the time people got excited about Comical Comolli after his first press conference. Just like Lanzafame and that 'shot' and Benjamin Onwuachi and that 'touch'
seriously what happened to Lanzafame and Pasquato? There was also Clemenza, and it’s not really clear what happened with him. we really tended to overhype Juve’s Primavera players.

Since it's 2025 and you still love Paratici, you are not the right person to ever call out other users.

He's only been here for a short time and obviously I can only judge him based on what I've seen, and so far it's promising. But should he turn out to be shit, my opinion will change. That's how it works. (for most people that is)

Bit silly comparing to random youth players, the guy has 180 caps for Porto and 3 for Portugal.

Friendlies don't really mean that much but it's nice to see a player who can play in transition and break lines. I imagine he'll ultimately frustrate us, won't be a great defender, and defenders will quickly wise up to his attacking attributes. But he still might prove a very useful player.

The point is we’re quick to judge. This guy was doomed from the start, and now that he’s showing encouraging signs, it’s brushed off as “just friendlies”. Meanwhile, some players like Nico can’t even bother shining in friendlies. Sure it’s early to draw conclusions, but the first signs are promising. I really hope he keeps proving us wrong and building on this.

Joining Juve not knowing about Tuz doomed him from the outset

Im here - didn’t get to see the game yesterday but vs dortmund he was bad other than that one „run“… he got bullied defensively by dortmunds wingers.

So you judge him after a total of 90 mins in friendlies ?

Did I judge or ask questions? Just checking in to see the confidence levels.

I saw neither one of those meaningless games.
