Don Lippi

Thread: Story of Il pinturicchio- Alessandro Del piero. Think a couple of people may have already made a thread on Juve's greatest player ever and arguably one of the finest players in world football but will make one nonetheless.

Now that it's done, I think tactically Diaz's data complements Olise's in many ways (look at the bottom left chart), Both top important metrics probably overlapping as a floor and ceiling raiser though Diaz's data is more focused on ball carrying, touches (all floor based). But…

Isn't the last line clearly indicating he also has friction with Tudor when he's saying class cant be bought for a coach?? Even if I am not a admirer as a coach, Tudor is a legend of the club & saying he's classless is insane.

Third person whoever it is doing the right job of demanding right price for a player which if clubs dont offer he can't move. Weah's a bad professional if he knows this & allowing his agent to talk. Not even Dybala, Bonucci's agents spoke like this when they were great servants.

My Thoughts on Leoni: - Good athelte for his size, reads game well but is too proactive/naive especially when he jumps to his man and if you see the clip he gets turned but then claws back - Aerially dominant & decent with ball, overall sound fundamentals for a CB. He needs…

In this market, getting Jonathan david for free is still a top piece of business. He cant be the main forward like Higuain/CR7 but unlike gyokeres is a specialist in better things than just transitions though he needs another forward to be paired.

Palmeiras blueprint should be our of Tudor's case studies for his 3 back system. Playing a strong double 6 is good but Thuram/another 6 should be one of those mids to drift wide and drive the ball, it helps yildiz stay in the halfspaces a lot where we know he's devastating.

I have this question (probably more relevant when window ends ) but which deals are Comolli finishing previously tied up Giuntoli deals, which deals are Comolli exclusively drove & which ones someone like Modesto intervened in??

Only way Tudor can convince me is he gives Adzic a strong role because he's big (around 6ft 3) which apparently Tudor wants and makes him & perform to his potential as a 10 or SS. Else I know he's all empty on appreciating profiles even ones that might clearly "fit" what he wants

Miretti can play mutliple positions: And whether you like it or not Under Allegri he played all midfield positions (double/lone pivot, left 8/10). Mistake was he never got continuity at one position (he finally did last season). It's likely conte sees him as understudy to KDB,…

I watched some Italy U20 under Nunziata 2 years ago when the WC was ongoing, Ghilardi was then playing in Serie C and was still a reasonably good find in that tournament. Despite what's said Lot of those players from that U20 group are in top flight in important teams.

I assume we want to sign undervalued specialists that club hopes can aggregate into a good team (players like David, Mario who are good at only very specific things who most big clubs wont risk signing). But without 1-2 Generalists/All rounders this team crumbles & you cant get…

Tolu Arokodare is a good case study for profiling a lesser known yet reasonably prolific replacement when Retegui just left Atalanta. They have important overlaps as players (bottom left chart) and Tolu with massive 200cm Build can still carry the ball likens him as Woltemade…
