Can I ask how you know this?
I don't want it to seem like I'm picking on you, but it looks like you always agree and always have a justification for whatever Conte, Marotta and the mgmt. do. And if they made an opposite decision, you would somehow justify it too. Now I'm not doubting Conte, but it's okay to disagree or question some of his choices.

However, imo his only real attribute is that he can manage the space on his wing rather well. when he plays, take a look at the players on his flank, they rarely get possession in open space, unless he misses his pass, wich sadly happens.
Giac, its a simular thing. massive workrate, and altho clearly not as talented as marchisio or even pogba to close gaps, his constant running and harassing is rather decent.
Thing is, playing marrone would be viable... if there wasent pogba. Conte wants a tactically sound midfield, with enough experience. This you can see by that he has IIRC never played more then 1 youngster at once in his centre mid.
SO basically, he replaces Pirlo with Pogba, as the creative force in the midfield, wich is a safe choise considering the serious defensive talent he has. and then protects it with a tactical positionning player like padoin, and a harrasment runner like giac.
This resembles our starter mid a bit, where pirlo is the creator, marchisio is the tactical player, and vidal is harassing. the obvious diffrence is the many other skills our starters excell in compared to the very limited giac&padoin.
