News: Rinaldo Cruzado - A.C. Chievo Verona

Apparently he did pretty well this past game.

 

Hello everybody, I've just joined the forum cause I'd like to understand what's Cruzado best position in the midfield.
I watched him at the stadium, then in TV the last two Chievo winning matches.
Chievo plays 4-3-1-2 and he played as the 1, that is attacking midfielder.
I think he's can't play in that position, he's quite slow to do that.
I appreciated his long passing skills, so I think he should play behind.
Problem is, I am afraid he lacks the defensive skills to play behind. He's not aggressive at all, and lacks height and force to do that.
Am I wrong ?

 

He is actually a combination of central and defensive midfielder... As you stated, he is too slow to be attacking and he is not too aggressive as defensive midfielder..

The thing about Cruzado, he gets away with being skillful enough and being able to find his man with long shots.

He is not doing too bad in Serie A though.

Hopefully, he will learn a few things about Catenaccio while in Italy.

 

I don't think he's ever played as a #10 or trequartista. His best position is as a second holding mid or the furthermost left mid in a 4-3-1-2.

The physical aspect can develop slowly as he adapts to the league.

 

I saw him play the first 20 mins of last match. I was confused as he had said he felt much better in this match and even the press, according to our 'media', had spoken well about him. I was unimpressed, saw him slow, lose simple balls and I almost got the sense that his teammates did not want him to pass the ball because of fright he might lose the ball. And worst than everything I was 90% sure that it was him who lost a stupid ball that led to Palacio's goal. Can anyone correct me on this? The coach (a little bald guy who seems to be very passionate about everything) exploded angrily after they received the goal as if he had decided to never let the guy who made the mistake play again. And to top it all off the guy who replaced him turned out to be the best player (although I think this guy is an striker so there might not be any risk of him losing his place). BTW Palacio tiene una PEPASA en su mitra, parece un anciano

He must have impressed in the rest of the match though because the press DID rate him positively to my surprise. I guess that's all that matters.

Watched his match yesterday (played 30 mins). Although not an excellent performance he did well, was the most offensive player in the ST. Created some chances. Chievo certainly improved with his presence.

el gordito intrasendente

 

En italy no usamos apodos pero los comentaristas dicen siempre que tiene una técnica impresionante

 

hahaha too funny, cruzado nos cago a todos

 

Il Gordini Lentini.

No pero en serio que hay que buscarle otra chapa. Le ha callado la boca a muchos.

 

Por ahora, el Riquelme de los pobres

 

el redondo del pueblo

el pirlo zurdo

el cambiasso "on a budget"

 

De aca a unas tres horas se viene un partidaso: Inter vs Chievo con Rinaldo de titular en el Giossepi Miara!!!!

 

I'm guessing things didn't go too well.

 

Perdieron 1-0 con el Inter...

Cruzado jugo un partido aceptable... Siempre tratando de tener panorama para habilitar y tener ida y vuelta... Lo que pasa es que en el Chievo no hay delanteros de categoria que aprovechen los pases de gol que Cruzado u otro mediocampista mete al area.

El Chievo necesita un Gilardino, un Luca Toni, un Cavani, un delantero de esas caracteristicas... Tiene un par de italianos malasos arriba..

 

k contraten al RRORRO

Ojala que el tecnico del Chievo le siga teniendo fe... Cruzado deberia tomar esto como un desafio para ponerse el equipo al hombro... Queda claro que lo estan usando como pieza clave en el mediocampo... Espero que este webon le siga poniendo ganas y el tecnico se de cuenta que el problema no es Cruzado, sino los delanteros limitados que tiene.

 

Me vi el primer tiempo y otra vez Cruzado me decepciono. Ademas que su equipo es malisimo Cruzado tuvo errores y estuvo escondido. Y la hinchada ya no lo esta 'bancando', en los forums del Chievo ya veo que no quieren que vuelva a ser titular. Esta desperdiciando sus oportunidades.

Lo cambiaron a medio tiempo. Y no creo que haya sido por lesion sino por mal rendimiento.
