balogh botond (hungarian dude) is having a solid game so far in the parma defense. he's 22, iirc qualifies as a homegrown for parma, was their academy player since '19. wasn't used by rossi during the euros but some local xperds consider him a good prospect. he was shaky in the opening round vs fiorentina, today he's been near perfect so far: he won all his duels, 85% passing, some crucial interceptions, and he's defending against leao (who just had a blocked shot by balogh)
suzuki too looks fine, his launches especially. don't let lion check him out, all threads would be full of the moaning how good he is with his feet and why we didn't buy him as 4th goalie
also pavlovic is so much better than thiaw isn't he
