Azzurri of the Week (32)

With Torino shocking their cross town rival Juventus this past weekend, there was plenty to write about this week. Let’s take a glance at these Azzurri:

 

FORMATION 352:

Keeper:

PADELLI (TORINO)- This man was certainly locking down his goal and defense all match. Great work keeping 5 shots on target out of the net and earning a hard fought win.

Defense:

MORETTI (TORINO)- The 33 year old is getting better as the season moves on. He had 6 ball recoveries through the match against Juventus. Great work by this man to stay in the back of Conte’s mind all year.

RANOCCHIA (INTER)- Solid work on the day, wasn’t pretty but has matured greatly since having a few rough seasons. Mancini bringing the best out of him.

BONUCCI (JUVENTUS)-58/63 passes for a CB? Yes he was a midfielder back in his youth but Leo so vital as a regista type of defender. His long balls are feared.

Midfield:

CANDREVA (LAZIO)- the man did everything right this weekend. He has been one of the reasons why Lazio has taken off into 2nd. Conte stupid to keep him out of starting XI.

VALDIFIORI (EMPOLI)-  Although 44/56 passes aren’t much for a central mid, he has great vision and can help Conte off the bench.

PIRLO (JUVENTUS)- that free kick. Need I say more?

GABBIADINI (NAPOLI)- he’s been on a tear last few matches and can play striker as well. As a CM he is a great asset going forward and linking the deeper midfielders to strikers.

DARMIAN (TORINO) Really showed his class against Juvenuts and is a diamond that is waiting to be polished. The Best fullback Italy has right now and will be for the next 4-6 years. Next Maldini here?

Strikers:

PELLE (SOUTHAMPTON) -2 goals, great holdup play, much more complete #9 than previously thought. Killer instinct in the air is huge off set pieces and passes from deep.

INSIGNE (NAPOLI): With another goal this Sunday, Lorenzo is back to full health. So dangerous and shifty and loves to take people on. would make an excellent mezz’ala as well but like him up top given the shortage of strikers. Conte you hear?
