-Well somebody has to do it, and lets be honest its not zanetti's strong point and same as Gianni.
Also i think its really unfair to say that he only has short passes, his passing is his strongest point and in most games its been very good.
-There were a string of games where DD played with Gianni and Zanetti played together and the team was just plain horrible.The distribution in the midfield was soo below standard it wasn't even funny.One of those games was the Brescia game where the team was always caught in possession in the midfield and we had to opt for the long balls.
-DD could've easily opted for marchisio from the beginning of the season or even Venitucci.There were many things he could've done but he opted for Paro and he didn't bench him until his form decreased. He praised him on numerous occasions and imo that faith.
Of course, there should be somebody who is capable of passing the ball to a teammate 10 meters away from him. Actually,
all squad's players
must be able to do it even a goalie. We are talking about the basics of football; receiving and passing a ball.
Back to Paro, I don't remember him make an long pass, and if he did, it was useless. To me a passer is either Veron, Pirlo, Xabi Alonso, Almiro or Scholes. You may say that all the previously mentioned players are well experienced players, might be due to their ages. But what about Fabregas, who is 5 years younger than Paro. I'm depending on the age factor here because we're monitoring a player who is expected to be better in the very near future due to his young age (He isn't young anymore) or discussing his best skills which are supposed to be apparent by now (I don't think he has an exploding skill up till now).
Regarding Deschamps, as I said, he hasn't got multiple choices as he wasn't the one who formed this squad depending on players whom he suggested. He has had to deal with the current squad as it was and he's done.
And again, you haven't answered my question:
Would you please enlighten me by enumerating Paro's defensive or attacking abilities? (Don't forget to take into your consideration his age)
By the way, if Paro's only talent is short passing so this would be a total flop in nowadays' football.
