Valentino Lazaro

[surripere]

But D'Ambro will probably still be first choice

 

[Matrix_invincible]

Was substituted due to an injury. Shouldnt be too serious tho.

 

[Universe]

Christ, is anyone not injured?

Dimarco, Valero, and Berni

 

[Alex de Large]

Should be playing more. Move Candreva low IQ to the left.

 

[YoramG]

Hope he starts against SPAL, I'm really liking him.

RWB is actually the only place we have depth now with Candreva, D’Ambrosio and Lazaro as viable options.

CB

CB

One injury though and we don’t have much depth there either. Better then midfield and forward line right now for sure though

D'Ambrosio can play CB in a pinch though, so really we have six options.

 

[RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot]

I want a gif of that backheel pass to Lautaro

 

[IRR26]

IMO he was very lively and had moves that impressed me. If he keeps developing then we can expect great things.

 

[Gaindé]

I feel Cancelo vibes when I see Lazaro play. I like him a lot, he delivers very good crosses and is a real threat every time he gets the ball.
He should play more from now on.

 

[CoolMan44]

I hope to see him on the right again though. Candreva has been quite decent but I believe Lazaro will look more natural on the right.

 

[Pajo]

Skillfull, good technique and dynamic. But fuck me, his anticipation is beyond bad. He got schooled 3 times by simple body faints, didnt run on through balls when needed and couldnt anticipate oposition runs.

 

[I'mNewHere]

Very poor today

 

[sakera]

Very poor today

he looked not too comfortable on the left.. but did alright there since biraghi probably was not 100 fit for the game.

 

[CafeCordoba]

To me he wasn't poor. He was just not used that much. Biraghi sub was very strange to me, guess Conte was more comfortable Biraghi there defending (which sounds very odd yes). At least once Lazaro skipped a defender with a ball like it was nothing.

 

[Universe]

Eager but little end product. Not entirely his fault considering he was playing out of position but I expected more.

It does seem Conte instructs us to attack with width, especially in the absence of Sensi who is our only midfielder who likes to attack the spaces centrally. I think how wide Vecino and Gagliardini have played most of the time is evidence of that.

I was expecting / hoping for Lazaro to cut inside more and run at goal like an inverted winger. Instead, he mainly played near the touch line and tried to take the ball past his man out wide, with little success.

Again, not sure if this is Conte’s instruction or not but I don’t see the point of starting him on the left if he’s just going to play like a traditional wide man, just on the wrong flank.

Give the guy some time. He was RW being converted to RWB and now is converted again to LWB. Still is much bigger offensive threat than our other wingbacks.
