A market opportunity that cannot be missed

The most nostalgic experts say that modern football has missed two positions. That of the destructive midfielder and the lifelong winger, rushes to the baseline, overflows and centers without throwing diagonals.

They are right. It is true that the end of the demarcation is the one that may have changed the most. In general terms, these are no longer players who stick to the white line, those who have to finish with the white boots, as said before, and feed their forwards with accurate balls that fly into the area. Now they go inside, play modified leg and throw diagonals.

However, this does not mean that they have completely ceased to exist. For some, the last of them all is Joaquín Sánchez, but, even with nuances, there are footballers who have a terrible excess and want to play outside. They are coming down. Currently, for example, it is outstanding Luis Diaz in Liverpool, although one of those aiming higher in this sense is Federico Chiesa. Without fear of making mistakes, the player of Juventus Turin He is one of the most talented to come out in the last decade. Fast, skilled on both legs and with a standing dribble, he was a joy to watch play, although injuries did not allow him to do as much as the football lover would have liked.

That, added to a more gray stage in Juventus that can now be over. Church He deserves to fight in the big squares and that’s what he thinks at the age of 26 and ahead of his career best. There is great silence over his future, but it has emerged in recent weeks that, with a year to go before his contract expires, it will be either a move or a renewal. Juve don’t want to lose money and the big guys are rubbing their hands.

Chiesa, despite his muscle injuries, is the team’s most important player whenever he is on the pitch. And at a time when wingers are scarce, especially those who naturally play on both wings, it’s hard to believe that offers for him won’t last long. The highest bidder will get it.
