Nicolo Barella: Standout Player Analysis
00:00:15
Speaker
Focus on Nigolo Barella because, I mean, he was undoubted them out of the match, right? And just how good, just how good is Barella? I mean, obviously we can look at Seria, but also
00:00:29
Speaker
you know, Europe as a whole. I mean, this guy, for me, I tweeted it last night after the eight.
Barella's Fit in Top European Teams
00:00:35
Speaker
For me, he gets into any team in Europe, certainly in a three-man central midfield, playing as the right Metzala, the right-hand side of a midfield three. Barela gets in any team in the world. I went through every single top club team. Barela gets in my team for me. I mean, how good is this guy?
Barella's Skillset and Attributes
00:00:58
Speaker
I'd say the Italians have an expression about roles. He's a metronome. Already at the age of 23, he's a complete player. His passing, he never stops running. I mean, how much distance does this guy cover? He doesn't know what fatigue and tiredness is. He just never stops running. He's so intelligent and mature.
Collaboration with Hakimi and Game Development
00:01:24
Speaker
Um, his crosses, I mean, bend it like Beckham, no, bend it like Barela with both feet. Uh, these past few games, he's, he's developed that aspect of his game. And together with Hakimi, they, you know, playing to the right hand side on that Metzala midfield together with Hakimi, they completely dominate teams. Uh, they compliment each other brilliantly. Um, and with Kakimi speed and finishing, and they're both, they seem to be.
00:01:49
Speaker
ambidextrous in terms of they can they can do do it well do it with with both feet both of them which which allows them to cut in and for the first goal was across from his from Baralla's left foot but Hakeem scored three goals with his left foot it's um it's it's really it's it's phenomenal they they are they are they are that that right hand side is
Barella and Conte: Development at Inter
00:02:10
Speaker
is Inter's biggest threat, and his ability to pick out runs is also something that he's developed. I was a huge fan of his Akaliari, and I wanted Inter to sign him at all costs.
00:02:26
Speaker
And I was expecting that he would do well, but only 18 months into into his tenure under Antonio Conte.
Barella's Role and World-Class Talent
00:02:33
Speaker
And that's that's something you've got to give Antonio Conte credit for. What he has done with with Nicola Barella, especially Nicola Barella and Bastoni is phenomenal. They they've taken that next step.
00:02:45
Speaker
to becoming world beaters. Barrella obviously further down that road than Bastoni. Bastoni yesterday was simply unplayable as well. But Barrella is world class now. There's no doubt about it. Nicolo Barrella is world class now. And I couldn't agree with you more. There is no team that he wouldn't get into in the world right now, including Bayern Munich.
