I browsed a lot through Italian Juve Forums like j1897.com and vecchiasignora.com and surprisingly a bunch of people are starting to doubt Giovinco's ability to play in Serie A.
My first reaction was "WTF?".Then I realized that they might be right.The question is not whether Giovinco is good enough,no one can doubt his talent.The question is:Is he able to play in Serie A despite being so small and relatively weak?Every time an opponent touches him he falls to the ground and the problem is that he doesn't always get a freekick.
It's not like he's old(22) but compared to other players at his age(Aguero,Messi &Co.) he achieved absolutely nothing.You might say that this is Ranieri's fault because he doesn't field him,but why shouldn't he field him?The fact that he fields Marchisio shows that he's willing to count on youngsters.The main problem is that Ranieri doesn't exactly know where to field him and as long as it stays like that he won't ever explode.
If it was up to me I'd field him in place of Nedved from now on,constantly!This way we see if he's up to the task to be our future #10.
Did we all expect too much of him?Did we even overrate him?Or is it solely Ranieri's fault?Please discuss.
