Chiesa IMO easily the best Italian talent of this current young generation. So much to like about the player yet so much to dislike at the same time.
He looks dangerous every time he has the ball. His ability to evade defenders, work the ball through them and make things happen in attack is superb.
On the other hand, he walks around on the pitch like a superstar (which he isn’t, yet), complains and chastises his teammates an insane amount for a young player, even if he is the star and a leader of the group. His diving and bitching is irritating and taking a penalty off the designated penalty taker is always a dick move. I was livid when he (predictably) failed to convert his penalty.
Fiorentina were very impressive in general. Pulgar, like Sensi, has managed the “step up” very nicely. He and Castrovilli are a great combination for them with Badelj a solid anchor as always.
While no one can doubt Ribery’s quality, I was skeptical at the idea of a Ribery - Chiesa front line, without any outright striker. But they’ve made it work really well.
Also forza Dalberto. I hope he keeps playing at this strong level and earns a permanent move. Win-win situation for all.
Dalbert had some insane sprints yesterday.
I alternated between an English and American stream due to some buffering issues and both hosts were making fun of Chiesa for diving. The reputation is developed.
A bit of entitlement is somewhat understandable even if it can't be justified, from my understanding Chiesa wanted to be a Juventus player at this point and instead got persuaded into staying with Fiorentina. I rate Montella for his comedic timing but I doubt he can accelerate his development like some proper manages could.
Ribery still got it, hopefully he can stay fit.
