This guy is meant to be the regista, the player Allegri desired the most, touched the ball about 40 odd times today, half the amount of amrabat 90+ touches, just goes to show how clue allegri is
I wish I could find a video of his performance against Bayern in the 2020 final because he created at least 2 or 3 clear cut chances in that game for Mbappe, Neymar and co.
Anyway, this quarter final performance against the same team a year later shows some of his quality against a hard pressing side:
I'll just quote, shut up and not jinx things because he'll need about 67 assists this season for people to change their minds/admit they were a bit off.
Decent.
My only complain is at times he doesn't move to ask for the ball and just standing there or walking. Pirlo, Marchisio or even Pjanic constantly moving to looking for a pass
Our mid that is most comfortable on the ball and he finds little pockets of space. Would like to see him take a few more risks with his passing but he was one of the few positives today
