I’ve been thinking about where to put him once he’s healthy, and i was wondering if anyone else thinks his best fit might be in Bonuccis spot? We know Bonucci is an elite ball playing Cb but it seems long vertical passes are no longer a priority under Pirlo, but rather line breaking one by one. De Ligt is very good at that, and in the defensive phase he’s better than Bonucci. I think he COULD play RCB in place of Danilo but I’m not sure it’s the best utilization of his skillset.
