In the youth teams, what position did hè normally play? It seems now he looks most comfortable just in front of defence but likes to play forward quickly, similar to the role Frenkie de Jong used to have at Ajax.
But maybe that’s just the blond hair throwing me off haha

he played primarily attacking mid with the u23, and I still think that’s his best position, just because it allows him to run more with less defensive responsibility. He reminds me of Isco, when he was good. But he’s intriguing as a regista too.

Good little cameo. Hans, Fagioli and Rovella to rule the world.

Nicolo. Fagioli. Is. A. Generational. Talent.

He is literally equal (if not very slightly better) than Pirlo, on raw talent. Him being competitive, even after all the time in the youth teams, shouldn't surprise anyone. He's been keeping his skills sharp; hell, he's been expanding them, even. He's done things in Serie C which are frankly stunning, given his experience level, showing that his feel and intelligence are very much in tact. Those are by far the most important things in football. It's what separates the Pirlos, Xavis, and Fagiolis from the Pjanićs, Jorginhos of the world (with the latter being very good players, but lacking that extra something).

As for raw pace, whilst I'm aware of data which shows that Fagioli is still very much on it, I accept that that isn't really an argument. The truth will out soon enough. But think of it this way: why would Fagioli risk his golden boy reputation? He has zero interest in playing for the sake of playing. He isn't coming to 1st team for a joyride; he's coming for podiums, wins, and maybe even a UCL. Scudetto is merely stage one. I know I get laughed out of the park round here when I say that Fagioli will be on Real's radar, and that I wouldn't at all be surprised to see him end his career on a high in the white shirt, but I fully believe that'll be the case. That's why all this 'is he good enough for first team' nonsense is so frustrating to me - fucking obviously, he is. The question is whether he can still show pace and diligence worthy of the top 3 team in the world, like he did in his stint in primavera.

There's no doubt in my mind that the waste of space opinions of all the armchair pesimists will be dust in the wind come mid-season 2022. Nobody will be in any doubt about what the name 'Nicolo Fagioli' means by then. And it will be the teams who will come knocking to Fagioli; not the other way round.

what?

I will never forgive Tici if he sells him. My #8.

Looks a bit lazy in back tracking, like someone used to play higher up. So I guess it makes sense. Too cheaply lost his marking but he is young and looks promising. Hope we keep him around next year and give him starting games against lower tier teams when we need more creativity anyway. If he doesn't give away goals like the rest of our squad likes to do, he's not worse than anyone else already.

I liked him a lot tbh, such a nice skillset for a Juve homegrown CM. I hope Pirlo trusts him more in the upcoming games.

Oh the poor kid.

Little did he know his promising career was about to come to an early end.

I know I get annoyed that he doesn’t play more, but the fact that Pirlo is integrating him gradually instead of just throwing him to the wolves tells me he believes in his development/future.

Fabrizio Ravanelli ha parlato di Nicolò Fagioli e del suo esordio in Serie A contro il Crotone. Le parole dell’ex attaccante della Juve sul futuro del giovane bianconero a Juventus TV, raccolte da TMW.

«Può diventare un giocatore importantissimo. Questa sera si è preso la scena, ha giocato con la sicurezza del veterano e non ha sbagliato un pallone. Prima di riceverlo sapeva a chi dare la palla e ha una visione di gioco importante. Dovrà lavorare fisicamente ma credo che possa avere un grande futuro nel mondo del calcio».

5 mins of fagioli is better than 5000 mins of rabiot

 

[DanielSz]

i hate that last part. Pirlo is right, but I hate it, especially since we don’t have anyone else worth a shit in that position with Arthur out. Why didn’t we just bring Rovella over lol he also looked better than anyone we had when we played Genoa last time.

"Fagioli is a player who has a football brain."

That speaks volumes with the fotballing Noam Chomsky's currently in this team.

 

[Durden]

Would like to see Pirlo try him in Ramseys role. Think he could also work there

 

[Adrian]

Pirlo has overused bentancur and rabiot so Mr bean should be used more just because rotation is so important. The fact he has a brain helps too haha
