Marco Benassi

Im dying to see what excuses is Strama gonna say for not starting this guy till the rest of the season.

Benassi should not miss a single game till the end of the season.

well lets not go crazy

this is his third professional game... he deserves to be selected in the next 2 on the back of this performance. if he's bad in both of those, then you consider his position. if he does well, he buys himself a bit more time.

Im not going crazy at all, what is he lacking that other players have in our midfield?

Alot of experience. As Benassi's biggest fan on FIF, I'm on his side, trust me, but you cant just blindly throw in a player for 18 games especially at his age without constant review.

The SINGLE worst thing for a young player is being overhyped.

 

[TheNetworkZ]

Also don't forget he is playing against a team that just got promoted this year. He is good though.

Nope, i dont agree, the worst thing is thinking that he is ready for Serie A, and loaning him to amateurs teams. Thats what i am affraid of. I'd rather watch him play in the midfield over Mudi, Gargano, Chivu, Zaneti (yes i said it, Zaneti should play RWB/RB imo)...

Lets just hope he is getting at least 5 starting matches after tonight.

the overhyping is what ruined santon, for example.

he deserves more chances, clearly, but i wouldnt be so quick to herald him as brilliant. he deserves to start the next 2-3 games, and then you review those matches and make a new decisioon

class debut.

thats why ive spent the last year telling you guys about him.

 

[b4h4mooth]

benassi mamamia, where the hell was he all this time?

 

[Batman]

Yup let's not overhype him guys, but he is indeed class and has tons of potential. It will be wrong to start him every game, he is still 18.

I hope he keeps being consistent. More than great debut.

 

[Doffy]

class tbh, only saw the second half but this kid was awesome. hope he gets a lot more chances and becomes first teamer like juan.

 

[.h.]

agreed.

while he plays well, he deserves his chances. that was a great debut. lets just take it easy, and see how he performs in the next game, and then the one after that.

i hope he doesnt let it get to his head. From what I've seen on the primavera level, at least, he seems a very humble guy... But then, so was santon initially

 

[Big Willy]

Let the overhype begin.

tbh he was better in the first half. his first counterattack was really damn good, retained the ball really well and set up cassano to have a good go.

 

[Kakaroto]

Benassi has a message for all of you:

 

[wera]

I like him and I hope we keep playing him, for anything else we'll just have to wait

I hope either Benassi or Obi get to start in the Coppa

 

[b4h4mooth]

lets overhype this kid, psG sheik and Leonardo will give us a ton of money :troll:

 

[NeonBlade]

What ruined Santon was the injuries and the managements unwillingness to wait until he was ready.

Also if Benassi stinks it up in the next 2 games? What have we really lost? He is 19 years old!!!

Just let the boys play....

agreed. he's bought himself another couple of chances, and we ju st see how it goes from there. no point rushing him, or letting the ego get to him.

we'll just see how it goes, let him play a couple more games, and review from there. if he fucks up, he fucks up, we drop him for a bit and work with him to improve... he's freaking 18? 19? a long long way from a finished article, he's bound to make mistakes

 

[Kakaroto]

Yep Santon was over hyped as Il Nuovo Maldini but to me what really fucked him up was his constant injuries when he was starting to get more minutes.

Edit: How is Benassi's contract situation? I don't want other clubs sniffing around.

agreed

all that BS was what ruined santon. Between the injuries, everyone telling him he was pre-destined, and the rapid rise to stardom/sense of entitlement that comes with it (after those 16 games in a row where he played well), he got ruined.
