DBasia.news – Being asked who is the most talented players in Italy, Maurizio Sarri, the former Napoli coach who is currently coaching Chelsea, bluntly mentioned three names. The unsurprising name is his former player in SSC Napoli, Lorenzo Insigne.
Sarri described Insigne as current Italy’s best player. He also believes that it’s just about the time that the 27-year-old player could be the best players in the world.
“Insigne is the best Italian player right now. His turning point was quite simply believing in himself, more and more. He shook off the uncertainty and the pressure of someone who is forced to be a protagonist of his hometown club,” Sarri hails Insigne.

“I don’t think it was an issue with his position: of course, if he plays closer to the goal as a striker, he’ll get more shots on target, because he has the quality. He can do everything. Initially, I had thought of him as a trequartista behind the strikers, then I moved him to the wing,” the smoking-addict coach added.
After Insigne, Sarri also mentioned Juventus FC player Federico Bernardeschi and Fiorentina player Federico Chiesa as Italy’s best talents for now.
“After Lorenzo, I’d put Federico Bernardeschi, who is on his way to soon become world class. I’ll add Federico Chiesa in third, as he is a pure talent, generous, dynamic: he has the capabilities of someone born to succeed, he just needs to work on refining,” Sarri emphasized.
