cause Pepe helps the defense and a hardworker.. ''smart vs hard-work'' logic. and they choose hard-work over being smart... cause u know being smart this days is just not smart anymore
Well said.
They can't be compared, one suits the current team set up, the other would vie for a place with Vucinic.
Sure they can. You saw how hard Vucinic worked defensively against Lecce. He tracked all the way back to give Chiellini a hand, what makes you think Giovinco wouldn't do the same thing in Pepe's place while offering infintely more in offense than Pepe ever could.
I don't buy this "current set-up" bit anymore, sorry. For every 1 good thing Pepe does he does 1 bad, whether a hoof of a shot, bad first touch or misplaced pass. Those sort of unforced errors would be MUCH more minimal if Gio was in his place, resulting in a strong possession rate and less stress on the team losing possession. Gio would just have to work harder, but Conte can mold him to his own tactics.
I don't see the problem.
