Seems to have had a run in with the coach at Pontedera, where he has been on loan. Not the first time where he doesn't always get on with authority. He's a decent young player but at 22 with that kind of mentality he obviously has no real future worth for Juve. He's decent technically but hardly anything special.
Orsolini: 'Why I chose Juventus'
by Football Italia
Riccardo Orsolini confirms his transfer to Juventus is imminent. “I chose them because it’s a club with an ambitious project.”
The Ascoli winger will finalise the move tomorrow for a reported €10m, including bonuses, a big investment for a player who turns 20 later this month and has never featured in Serie A.
“Is the deal done? Let’s say so, yes,” Orsolini told Mediaset Premium television.
“I will end the season with Ascoli and then begin this new adventure. It’s all very exciting, it happened so fast over the past year. I made my debut in Serie B and was able to show what I can do.”
His playing style has seen him compared to Arjen Robben.
“I started out as a wide attacker and prefer to play on the right so I can cut in and either shoot or set up my teammates. The Robben comparison is really too much! I will try to do my best, but I can’t compare myself to Robben.
“I have also played as a right-back. The Coach put me there to teach me how to defend better.”
Orsolini was wanted by numerous clubs, including Napoli and Milan, but opted for Juventus.
“Evidently black and white stripes are in my destiny,” he joked pointing to the Ascoli shirt.
“It’s surreal just to mention Juventus, let alone consider myself one of their players. I will try to prove my worth and then we’ll see.
“I chose Juventus because it’s a club with an ambitious project, they focus on youth and there’s no better place for me to grow.
“It’s an important step up and only the field will tell me if I’m ready. I am not afraid to sit on the bench, as I’m focused on working and then everything that arrives will be a bonus.”

Good luck boy. Not even berardi would have a chance with dybala here.
You are done for before you even start, unless... you are being brought as a RB... then maybe, just maybe you will smell the grass

I like those words, we'll see. Some argentinian commentator from ESPN also compared him to Robben, I just hope he's not as fragile and as much of a cunt.
