lol Come on dude. The defender was waiting for him to cut inside and he done him with a quick shimmy to the outside. Thats top play at this level because it comes down to subtle details to open up such a game. He opened up the space and drove the ball so hard across. Demiral tried to adjust but had no time to turn and chest it out. To say the first was just an og and try and write away Berardi's contribution is an incredibly bad take considering the context of the goal for Turkeys tactics.
And yet another lesson for our estrogen obsessed Juve-only elitist. It hasn't been a good couple of days for the gumballciucc.
I agree. Berardi made that OG happen by burning his defender. It was undoubtedly the most important moment in the game. Turkey were trying to get a 0-0 result, and once Berardi ended that dream, they folded and allowed two more goals. The game completely changed due to Domenico Berardi. I think he was the second best Italian on the field after Spinazzola (shout out to Di Lorenzo who is a superior player to Florenzi and helped Berardi on that right side in the second half). I think Chiesa is a great talent and expect him to start a few games in this tournament. In fact, I think his ability to play on the left means we may see him and Berardi take the field together if circumstances dictate.
I don't even know why we have to have this argument. Both Berardi and Chiesa will be very important going forward. Do I think Chiesa is a better player than Berardi? Yes. But right now Berardi fits into Mancini's system quite well, and at the end of the day, that is what matters. I also understand Gumbacicc's deference to players that play for big clubs and get Champions League experience (preferably winning it all). Unfortunately, over the last fifteen years, we have been having fewer Italians playing at the high levels because of the stranieri in our league and the fact that Italian teams have not done well in CL lately. You can only field what you have. As someone mentioned, Grosso had no experience other than provincial clubs when he won the WC in 2006, so anything is possible. La Gazzetta had a good article on this team a few days ago pointing out that everyone in the starting lineup has to go backwards (ie. struggled with form, coaches, temper, etc.) before elevating their game except Barella (he's always been on an upward trajectory). All the players on our team had to overcome adversity and doubters at some point. That shows me character and that is the kind of stuff that builds team players and a great team. If we keep playing selfless calcio, I struggle to think of a team that can beat us this tournament.
Congratulations man. Fatherhood has already changed my outlook on a lot of things in life. On the Verratti front - he tends to be a bit careless defensively with his tackles and can be a bit arrogant with the ball at times, but his quality is on another level - especially compared to Locatelli. I think we are much better with him back. His size doesn't seem to hinder him as much, likely due to his stronger build.
What happened to the mods in this place? Trying to have a discussion about Calcio here and it's just page after page of nonsense.
I love both Chiesa and Berardi. But how can anyone says Chiesa is better talent than Berardi? Based on what? Berardi was, is, and will be better player. Numbers and history never lies! Even at U21 level Berardi was star, while Chiesa was a sub ffs.
No mods needed preferably, as most of them are just useful tools of the left . Definitely providing info to government informants on people's posting opinions and habits They are enemies of the state. Let's survival of the fittest reign supreme here
Besides, this discussion is very repetitive and unimaginative. Personally I think that Chiesa should take Insigne's place. Insigne may be technically good, but he is the sort of player you would expect to see in Spain's NT... ineffective and - to my taste - outright boring.
