About Gio, most of you raving about Gio to play and now when he gets a chance, problem is that some of you now want him to play as LM? He is SS and natural replacement for DP.
well, i think this is the biggest mistake Ranieri makes.
Giovinco isn't Del piero's replacement and he will never be, i know a lot of you out there want it and yeah it's sounds romantic but it will never happen so that Giovinco will turn into a great striker in some time to come.. he doesn't have time to learn, c'mon, open up your eyes everyone, he's 22 and he is still improving, Dp used to make wonders in that age and look at Messi now..
Ranieri is wasting Giovinco as a striker, you have to have special abilites to be a good striker and a being good striker means scoring a lot of goals, and i tell you, Giovinco can't score goals, he's physical abilities are funny, he can do nothing against those big central backs, there's always a lot of pressure inside the box area, in which Giovinco will always be lost, he won't be able to use his dribbling as he will always be pushed out..
and guess what.. his Physical structure isn't the only reason, he is the player with lot of thought in his head, he gets nervous in front of goal.
just before Viola Game i was telling this to my friend.. and i told him that if Giovinco was given 10 good chance to score a goal, he will only score three out of that 10.. and then when Giovinco came in the second half to replace Dp, he got one-on-one chance and missed it like 15 years old kid who is just about to kick the ball in some way, just to kick it and not think how.. you will never score like that.
what would Dp do?! run, look at the keeper take a virtual target, aim it and kick.. and then it depends on his technique if he scores or not..
Giovinco has teqnique but he will never learn to put his footballing thought above the nervous thought, he will waste them all!!!
another reason...
putting him as a striker means ignoring his great ability to make a decent cross. on LM position there is more space, defenders take special position in front of you and leave space to go to centre, Giovinco can only pass a player who is moving.. and not standing defender who is waiting an opponent to drible him and is ready for it..
we don't need much theories here, just look at those games when gio played on LM position and games when he played DP position and you will see it all..
one more reason why i want him as LM is because i want him and DP to play together.
time will pass, maybe Gio will turn into a great player, and then people would say.. "ah, if only Gio and DP played together" just like in Baggio Dp case.. but retired Dp will be sitting with his grandsons watching tv..
Gio is a second player after Zambrotta who makes fantastic things in double with alex.. i want to see it again..
Gio - Dp = our way to creativity
Pls Ranieri Stop Using seba as a striker.. and stop telling him that he is Next Del Piero!!!
Dp is idol for his greatness not for his position, so if seba wants to be like alex it's not necessary to be a striker like Ale!
