Florenzi scouting

Style of Play

As evidenced by the stats on Transfermarkt, Florenzi is a player who can play anywhere on the right. He can play as a Mezzala or as a Right Back or as a Right Wing back or even a Right Winger.

Attack

Florenzi is not a player who involves a lot in the buildup play. Even when he played as a RW for Roma under Eusebio Di Francesco, Florenzi was that Right winger who would stay wide but not too close to the touch line.

One of Florenzi’s main job was to engage the fullback/wingback of the opposition and allow the Roma full back to overlap or Underlap.

He has a few deft touches in his pocket which helps his team evade the press but he isn’t the greatest dribbler

• 

In terms of passing Florenzi prefers more of the “keeping it safe approach” rather than going for a cross. He is good for switching the play from one wing to another when the press gets way too horizontal. This is a very ideal trait for Milan to have

Florenzi also has a good cross in his Arsenal and with a proper #9 to aim at. With Giroud/Ibra at Milan this gives Milan a different dimension coming from the right especially if the opposition defend deep

As a right winger Florenzi like to make runs behind a ball playing no.9 while the striker likes to hold up the ball waiting for the midfielders and wingers like to make runs

He is always available as a passing option to his teammates who are getting pressed

In terms of pace and dribbling and taking his man on and beating him, Florenzi lacks that ability to be explosive.

DEFENDING

Florenzi is someone who dosent dive into tackles which is a great trait for a defender. He likes to get close to his marker and put pressure. This makes him less prone to quick turns but gives way to combination play

In terms of press his contribution to cover shadows under Tuchel makes him very used to the pressing system Pioli is trying to enforce at Milan.

Florenzi is tactically aware. He covers the half spaces left by the full backs when playing as a right wing

STATISTICS

DEAL OR NO DEAL

Florenzi comes in with a wealth of experience to one of the youngest teams in Europe. As somebody who can backup to Calabria and Saelemaekers well I think Florenzi is a decent backup for the formula of Loan with option to buy totaling of 5 million

His big downside is that he is injury prone and this has limited his ability especially physical ability. For this I think I can rate this transfer a 6.5/10.
