Zanetti Praises Baldanzi: Asserts He Has Much Quality and Can Play with Dybala

Former Empoli coach, Paolo Zanetti, has been speaking to Corriere dello Sport in which he made interesting comments about Roma’s attacking midfielder Baldanzi – a player he discovered and nurtured during his time at the helm of the Azzurri.

“I noted during the summer that both him and Fazzini had unique talents. I quickly recognised that Tommaso had qualities that were different from the norm and deserved to fast-track his integration into the first team. It wasn’t difficult,” said Zanetti.

He also believes Baldanzi’s game has more scope to improve and could develop further under the guidance of a coach like De Rossi. “For me, he could even work in tandem with Dybala, not just as his alternative. He certainly has lots of room for improvement and with a coach like De Rossi, he will also grow in a new position,” stated Zanetti.
