Palermo enjoys Vavassori, the young "attached" who
Same stature. Same number of shirts. Same motive. Same desire to amaze. Yes, this Vavassori remembers very much the first Dybala, what at 19 years marked the first goals with Palermo. It is not a comparison – that remains stunned – but a crossroads of trajectories worth telling, seen as Vavassori is impressing in these weeks. And his exultation after the second goal against Padua (which you can see in the photo) is a clear tribute to the Argentine champion, who among other things is living with Roma capolista his best moment of physical form in recent years. The arrival of Vavassori in the summer purchases campaign was a questionable operation, starting from the formula: dry loan from the Atalanta, without any redemption option. A detail that says a lot about how the club Bergamo, which holds the tag, points on the class attacker 2005, in view of a future capital gain or a place in the first team. If you want to hold it, Palermo will then have to come up with a new negotiation at the end of the season. The margins would be, considering the economic strength of the City Football Group, but they are premature speeches, linked to how the year will go. Vavassori, should be remembered, arrived in rosanero only after the long negotiation for Rao was faded. Rao is younger than a year, he already had a Serie B championship behind him with great numbers for a debutant (six goals and three assists) and had grown up in Bari, a hot square that had already tempered him to the pressures. At the same transfer formula, it seemed the most natural choice. The tentennaments of Naples and the entourage of the boy, however, prompted Palermo to turn on Vavassori. And the results are going well beyond expectations. Inzaghi had talked about it well since the first practice and is giving continuity to words with facts. Vavassori is the second most used player in season, championship and Cup included, behind only Augello. He played five of the seven official title games: a signal that Inzaghi's confidence is not only born from the injury of Strefezza, who also opened his way to a leading role. Vavassori made available to the coach playing both left and right, but the impression is that it can be devastating more from attacker than from outside offensive. Coming back to the parallel with Dybala: the Argentine, in Palermo, arrived as atypical tip. High 177 cm – the same stature as Vavassori – was not the classic attacker from dirty work nor a finalizer of a, but it had a sense of the innate goal and a left singing, all combined with a sopraffina technique. Arrived very young, at age 19 (Vavassori is 20), he then evolved over the years, tactically and physically, until he became today's footballer, able to play second-point or truquartista. Palermo has chosen Vavassori as an offense outside, but what most hit is its ability to attack the rigour area. It has the right times, 'health' the door, it is quick in thought, choice and execution: all qualities from attacker, not from outside. He is good in one against one, but always oriented to search for the goal. Few played from pure outside – as is Johnsen – many from a second point or atypical tip. Just look at the three goals already made: the one at Lecce is a classic from area attacker, wandering ball and cutting behind the defender. A goal at Inzaghi. And then the doublet in Padua: in the first you find ready in the center of the area to sack the assist of Johnsen; the second is a network that remembers the first Dybala, with the stop of heel oriented and the left shot. I'm a goal that only an attacker would do. That Johnsen, by the way, would struggle to score. Vavassori is not an outsider who comes back and kicks around: he is an attacker who points the door, very good to find the right spaces to hurt the defensive line. Its heatmap – the graphical representation of the field areas where a player was most present during the game – in the race against Padua is very clear: so much center, very few outside. Inzaghi's chessboard is finding its perfect balance. The Palermo 'thinks' on the left, where the majority of the actions are born, but ends in the center and right, with Vavassori, Pohjanpalo and the insertions of the midfielders. The Vavassori heatmap in the race against PadovaCome Dybala, Vavassori is also in the evolutionary phase. The feeling is that it can become devastating by the second point or modern trequartista, capable of attacking the door: it was also its role in the Atalanta U23. The Palermo itself enjoys a boy who is demonstrating quality and personality already at 20 years, with important margins of growth. The comparison with the outclass of Rome remains stunned, but the numbers and plays of these first weeks tell of a boy from the assured future. Maybe with pinkish colors.
