Protagonist in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal, Carnesecchi continues to confirm himself as one of the best Italian goalkeepers: for Atalanta he is now untouchable.
Former Parma, Fiorentina and Inter goalkeeper Sebastian Frey spoke to the microphones of TvPlay to comment on Carnesecchi’s exploit against Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia. “Italiano studied last night’s match with Atalanta very well, which if they had not had Carnesecchi the qualification would have already ended in the first leg,” said the Frenchman.
According to Frey, it will still be tough for the Viola in the return leg. “We know how Gasperini will prepare the match in his stadium and with the 1-0 result, everything is open. Fiorentina will have to be very good. I hope it can get to the final. It would be a good final between Fiorentina and Juventus…”
The interviewee went on to say that in his opinion “his” Fiorentina was stronger than the current one, nevertheless that team never won anything, while the Italian team last year played two finals, and that is a very good thing. “Florence is a very critical square, but I am with Vincenzo Italiano today, despite the fact that there are those who attack him, because since his arrival he has done important things even in the future perspective. In my opinion, he the best coach for this team.”
Then the interviewee returned to Carnesecchi, explaining that Atalanta will now do everything to keep him. “Carnesecchi plays in one of the best teams in Italy, he is on the major national team roster so I think he is in the right reality. If he gives continuity to his work, in my opinion, even more important requests may come, as happened with Vicario. But La Dea could retain him. “
Carnesecchi still at Atalanta: “The reality is right for him “
Frey then reiterated a thought he has already expressed many times, namely that the Italian school has churned out a generation of great goalkeepers. “Italy can boast the strongest goalkeeping group at the European level. From Donnarumma who, despite his age, has great experience and is having an excellent season at PSG, to Meret and Vicario, who has established himself in the Premier League. I also like Falcone, Di Gregorio and then Carnesecchi. “
The interviewee then tried to explain the situation of Rui Patricio, who was benched by Svilar after a very complicated moment. “Svilar found himself a starter in an absurd situation, but he is doing very well, he is giving continuity to his performance. He has two very broad shoulders, in the sense that he can handle the pressure of a very hot square like the yellow and red well. Mandas I have seen less of him, but I want to analyze him more in the derby.”
“Roma tried to save Rui Patricio, who is a goalkeeper of great international experience, but everyone expected this turnaround. He got overwhelmed by the negative trend of the team and his performances went accordingly, that is, they were complicated. With the arrival of De Rossi I think it was the right time to try to change. And so far he has been right,” Frey concluded.
