Rome, Zaniolo winger scores more: 7 goals out of 11 from the bracket

If Capello were a mental coach, he deserves thanks from Nicolò Zaniolo. From the night of that gaffe on television, with the young Inter, Esposito invited to choose different paths, Zaniolo has scored a goal per game even unlocking away, as it happens in Friuli, that is the land of Hair.

Zaniolo, from a promise to a champion in ten days

As an interesting promise, in general perceptions, he has become a quasi champion. All in ten days from the header against Borussia to the ground-to-air with Napoli. By now the debates seem to be over, or at least dormant, on his behalf in the wake of an excellent performance in quality and continuity. Even the role is no longer spoken of: in the position of an atypical wing, where he can exploit vertical power like the indentations on the left foot, he seems to have found the natural habitat. Fonseca he did not have to force it but to convince him yes: in the boy's head, who hears a half-wing or at least a trequartista, it took time to understand that territorial decentralization does not necessarily lead to a loss of importance.

Zaniolo's mother thanks the Napoli fans

Wing different from the ordinary kind, clear. But it was perhaps not so also Totti with the first one Zeman? Number 10 in talent and soul, but with a starting plate from which to proceed with the guidance of instinct.
