He usually looks a lot more confident than how he played last night versus Samp. After that near-blunder, I hated to see him get the ball passed back to him. In the previous games, he would control the ball, drag an attacker closer to him and then pass the ball successfully or clear the ball to one of our players (usually he was successful)... but last night I counted about 6-7 cleared balls carelessly and he did seem low on confidence. I don't know if Raiola's comments about him being worth 170m was a smart decision... the kid is fucking 16 and his agent is announcing to the world he's 70% more valuable than the most expensive player in the history of the sport? Fucking Raiola.. I understand he looks after his player's best interest but he also needs to understand what to say and when to say it... I'm just hoping that these comments didn't get to Gigi's head and I hope he plays versus Crotone to regain some confidence back.
From the opening mistake it looked like Samp were putting two players on him when the ball was played back to him. He has been very confident on the ball maybe too confident. There is only so long he can trick players before he gets caught out and loses possession. Even the experience keepers lose the ball when it is passed back to them.
To be put in at 16 and continue to play at Milan he must be one of the greatest prospects they have ever seen. Very few players especially keepers start at so a young age. He is still a boy.
