Federico Chiesa Juxtaposed with Gareth Bale

DBasia.news –  The Italian national team legend, Giancarlo Antognoni, called Federico Chiesa as the new Gareth Bale. Federico Chiesa is one of several young players who has caught the eye in recent seasons.

Media in Italy assess Federico Chiesa can be more than success from his father, Enrico Chiesa. Unlike Federico, Enrico’s career wasn’t too smooth.

Meanwhile, Federico Chiesa has appeared in 11 matches for the Italian national team at the age of 21 years. That amount is half of Enrico’s appearance throughout his career.

Giancarlo Antognoni, who is also a former Fiorentina player, considered Federico Chiesa as a world-level player. Players like Chiesa were not many born in Italy.

“In my opinion, Federico Chiesa is a European level player. Players don’t seem to be found in Italy,” Giancarlo Antognoni said.

“In Italy, the wingers usually have different characters. For example, like my good friend Bruno Conti or Lorenzo Insigne.”

“Federico Chiesa has quality and stamina, as well as speed and strength. In my opinion, he is like Gareth Bale, making opponents crazy and never giving up,” he added.
