Former Dynamo coach Luigi Di Biasso spoke to Gazzetta dello Sport during a visit to Italian midfielder Nicolò Barella, who made his debut for the U-21 national team in 2017 at the age of 20. It was Di Biasso who gave him the opportunity.
You made Barrera’s U-21 debut possible…
“He, Mancini and Orsolini. But I knew Nicolo when he was 15 and I trained him, so I have no doubts. We called him ‘the boy who lives’, sometimes a little too much. His character leads him to chaos, but from this chaos is born the flexibility that makes the difference today because it allows him to play all the roles.
Its evolution, techniques and tactics…
Sometimes he is a little crazy, he wants everything at the same time, but today, even in complex moments, except for the game time, he calmed down. He is not afraid to play with the opponent on top.
He was also a Methodist….
He was born in the defensive front and today he returned there with a mature player who has played 300-400 games in the top league. Losing Jorginho’s position next to him is different from playing as a low defender, he can replace Fratzi, Jorginho or even Di Lorenzo.
Will it be the same on Thursday against the Spanish midfielder?
I’ll tell you another Italy-Spain story that Nicolo will remember, the 2019 Euros, in which we won 3-1 and he had a great duel with Fabian Ruiz.
But can you say who you would compare Barrera to?
He has a different physique, he is a mix of the first De Bruyne, who was more of a midfielder than he is now, and the first Kroos, who was more of an attacker.”
