The former coach of Kean: "He is not like Balotelli. And he can play with Dzeko"

In the last hours we are talking about an interest in Rome for Moise Kean. Player that you know well, especially for your experience as a coach of Italy under 17, where a young Kean started scoring his first great goals. We would like to know if you can provide us with a player identikit.
I summoned him under age in a group of 99, he entered by force because he was a player substantially already done then. A guy who from a physical point of view has the appearance of a man even if it's a 2000 and I talk to you about three years ago. Today it has grown in all respects. When I was in Turin making the spring two years ago I never had it available because he had returned from the loan with Verona, he was a player who could already be in Juventus' first team for quality and physical structure. Today those who buy it take an Italian Italian player of great level.

A possible comparison, who can remember in today's Serie A?
He spans the entire front of attack. Perhaps Immobile as a player even if from a physical point of view it is more powerful. He is a footballer who knows how to do everything, he knows how to play in the spaces, from the strong side to the head, strong in depth, he has a level player technique: he is a complete player.

Could Kean play in tandem with a striker with the features of Edin Dzeko?
Absolutely yes, due to its characteristics, being mobile you can marry with any type of attacker. Good players can always play together, even if they apparently don't have the perfect technical features to do so. They are players who combine trouble-free technique and physicality.

He had some problems with Mancini's national team and also with Everton, as delays in tactical sessions. Had you encountered any problems with the player?
No. I took it under age and when a player comes under age he never combines damage for a form of respect, because he is smaller. It didn't bother me because I think he's a good guy. He was singled out as the new Balotelli, like a crazy head. The guy in the end is not that he believes in it but he falls for these statements. He does not create problems, he is a well-bred boy. The guy with us was perfect. When I coached El Shaarawy at Padova I was asked the same questions because they said that at Milan he was having problems, but due to the experience I had, he didn't give me any problems. Football-wise and from the behavioral point of view the two boys do not discuss themselves, we do not discuss.

How does Rome play, for what it needs and for a rejuvenation project started by Petrachi, would you recommend it to the Giallorossi?
Absolutely yes, it is a purchase that I would make, because a strong player. Today, Roma plays with a playmaker behind an offensive terminal. He is a double point, so if he takes it to play something in the tactical aspect of the team changes. If one takes it to make the alternative to Dzeko is another matter.

Kean is a great friend of Zaniolo.
Yes to make a mess (laughs). I was joking … There is a occasion that a boy can go over the top. When they make pagan mistakes.
