He's better at that than you think, Alvin. I succintly remember him saying that Juve were the team that finally used him correctly. His passing, bactracking to win possesion, and movement, are better than you think.
Is he a world beater? No, he isn't. But he is a better player than advertised. He was all flash and no substance up until this season. And besides, you could see the joy that he had in playing for Juve, and how it spread to the rest of the team. Something like that can't be discounted. The guy has heart, and so many players on this team are severely lacking it.
