A right-back of genuine Serie A pedigree who's found a comfortable refuge in Serie B where his positioning and defensive nous still carry weight. He's no longer explosive enough to genuinely threaten in wide areas, but he reads the game with the kind of experience only comes from 15+ years at senior level, and his ability to play simple, effective passes into midfield keeps things ticking. The athleticism has dimmed; he'll get caught out by pace once or twice a season, and his inverted runs feel laboured rather than incisive.
