There is certain players that are made for these midtable teams. Saponara is another. He has done good for Empoli and was good again today against Napoli. But there is nothing about his game that says he'll be a top player that will play for a top club. Went missing the entire second half for example. After making mistakes he just stopped running multiple times (of course, he is the star in Empoli), did very little to no defending. A ton of misplaced passes in the second half, but nobody will talk about this and everyone will just mention the goal he scored. When in turn, if he goes to a top club this isn't enough. Every move he makes will be scrutinized and in the end people will realize that the bad/average outweights the good. This is why he didn't make it in Milan and this far it hasn't changed. Unless something drastically changes he will continue being a star in a mid-low table teams and just a very normal player at a top team, if he gets to one again.
spot on.Good post.
