Paolo Greattiobserver and expert on Balkan football, spoke to Radio FirenzeViola during Viola Weekend. These are his words on Lorenzo Lucca: “He is a central striker who has the ability to jump very well in the penalty area, one of his weapons is the header. We saw it with Udinese, he has improved in the development of the maneuver, he has great room for improvement. He could be an important purchase”.
Su Milenkovic: “I expressed myself in unsuspecting times. He is a great defender, he can play both 4 and 3. He can make his contribution and show his potential in any game system.”
Su Pongracic: “I evaluate him as a ready defender, for a high-medium level Serie A team. In Lecce, in addition to being very skilled at marking, he has an important characteristic, namely that of participating in the construction phase. He would be perfect for Palladino” .
Who are the emerging footballers in Serbia? “The national team at the European Championships was a disappointment. It’s almost inexplicable, just think of the names of the players who have been called up. Historically they have difficulty forming a group in European events. All the players are of a medium-high level. Rather I can throw an idea, an Italian coach could arrive on the Serbia bench who gives a tactical plan and enhances the players.”
About Slovenia: “It didn’t surprise me. It’s a national team that is growing strongly, in this selection they have united several generations and they have done well. Then at the helm of the national team there is a strategist, namely Matjaž Kek. The players are giving an important response, I believe they can continue to amaze”.
About Zaniolo: “Palladino uses a system that suits him. Zaniolo deployed as a attacking midfielder could prove to be a good signing. His qualities could be valorised, despite his performance in recent seasons not being exciting.”
