Watching old film of allegri, and studying his tactics, I can't help but think some like like Hamsik might be more worth the big splash than anyone (Ganso, Hulk, etc.)
Allegri wants his side CMs to have technical qualities and go back and forth, but more, he wants them to attack and make timed runs into box. We've seen Flamini score this way, boateng, even gattuso
. And no one does this better in Serie A than Hamsik, potentially only Lampard does it better in the world as a whole.
Especially when you consider players like Robinho/Cassano and even Zlatan love to take on defenders and drag them side, creates a natural lane for CM to run centrally through. That's basically every Boateng goal and Flamini's today
Yup. He used to get 'next rivaldo' comparison. He really does have a mirror image of Rivaldo in terms of posture, technique, the left foot, but he lacks that explosion ability Rivaldo had in his prime. He even flopped out in u20 wc (the one where adiyiah won golden ball) because he was used at LW, a position that won't get best out of him.
To me he's kind of a hybrid of Rivaldo's technique in a Rui Costa esque player. You know what I mean, not fast but got whereever he needed, and could beat his man at his own pace. Excellent control of the ball, ability to dictate.
