Someone is watching Euro U19 ?
Locatelli is good or bench player ?
Thanks for your review.
At least we know he has combativity and he will fight for the ball. Could be usefull.
How did he look?

I do not share the opinion that Locatelli had a good game or that he is ready for Serie A. He has shown that he has the ability to pick a pass, but he definitely hasn't shown (for me) that he's ready to deal with Serie A.
He's definitely not physical enough and he's not accustomed to the pace of the league. The ball almost always is won back by the opponents when we pass the ball to him. I thought he was really poor versus Sampdoria.
I hope he'll put a completely different performance versus Lazio. It's a huge risk to bench Montolivo for Locattelli but it's not like Monto's been putting in good performances.
He seems to be the only realistic hope we have to bench Montolivo until January.
Agreed. Many people hype him because they are easily wow'ed by him picking out passed since we've grown accustomed to players who can't string 3 passes together. His positioning and timing on challenges are nowhere ready and should not play in front of the defense.
If we do rest Montolivo I think it will be Sosa sitting in front of defense with Locatelli pushed up to LCM
I actually think Zanellato has more talent than Locatelli does but Locatelli seems to be further ahead of him physically
give him a 5-6 games in a row and let's see what he can bring to the table... he'll make mistakes, but probably still not more than crapitano
