Quick Summary
This is just an awful team who play pretty stale games. A candidate for worst team to watch in Big 4 leagues. They are extremely conservative with the ball and only create their minimal attacks going down the right side.
Player Profiles
Ivan Radovanovic, 30, midfielder
He’s involved in 8 of the top 9 passing combinations for Chievo, about as central as they come. Now, none of these pass combos actually go anywhere, so being central doesn’t necessarily mean ‘good’. He’s a bit like the traffic cop working day after day to pull over everyone going 4 MPH over the limit and missing the drugs streaming by. Effective, I guess, but what are you really accomplishing in the midst of such a decaying system?
Joel Obi, 27, midfielder
You know what they say about Joel Obi, don’t you? He’s aNigerian Ivan Radovanovic.
