Isn't going to get a look in in that midfield. I think he can be considered a defender for now at least.
considering italy opening game against spain, if pirlo is marked, its extremely handy to have a ballplaying cb, like de rossi was. and he's a natural midfielder aswel.
like, imagine bonucci's long range passes, but actually accurate and finding OUR player instead of opposing defence
Very good that he's getting minutes here and there
excellent for his confidence and development, and to mold into the team
Yeah, he has a good shot. I'm not sure how much he can use it if he plays so deep, but it's an extra weapon if we end up pressuring teams back to the edge of their box, like many games last season.
you give the answer right there.
if they park the buss, we have a long range cannon, could result in many corners and the occasional goal or interesting deflection
nice to see him take that shot

conte seems to show a lot of faith in the lad, and for good measure
very reassuring to see this talent gets the backing he needs
Oh he can do that alright, he has one hell of a shot, you'll see in the coming games that he's always looking for open spaces to shoot.
remember the france vs spain game ?
