I never thought Criscito was ready and i'm sure many here thought the same. Apart from Badass devil and few more no-one thought Criscito was ready to take over the defense.
Giovinco is something else. He learnt how it is when the team depends on you (Italian u21) and he's slowly but certainly taking the commanding role in Empoli's midfield.
The kid is special and he'll do great when we'll give him the chance.
Just my feeling though, but i think i'm not wrong about this. Giovinco will be a champion.
Just look at (and hear) how Empoli fans react when he'll touch the ball. How Italians react when he has the ball when he plays for u21. People feel he is special kind of player. The same kind like Baggio, Totti and Del Piero. And this kind of players were ready to step up when they were very young, just like Giovinco is now.
Just wait and watch
