Bucchi: “I made Scamacca debut right in Naples, for me it’s the right name for the post-Osimhen era”

Who will be Napoli’s next striker? Who will take up Victor Osimhen’s legacy starting next season? Cristian Bucchi he’s definitely someone who understands strikers. He’s done it all his life and now, as a coach, he retains a soft spot for them. And on the subject of center forward he expressed himself a Radio Kiss Kiss Naples: “Osimhen is one of the strongest strikers in the world, he is difficult to replace because he allows you to play in different ways. He plays well in the open field, he has improved technically and also plays with the team, he has become a real striker and an opportunist penalty area. In Naples I experienced the transition from Quagliarella to Cavani and there was the skill of the coach who was able to make the most of Cavani’s potential. Next year a different attacker from Osimhen could arrive, but perhaps he will have some quality which would be functional to the new tactical project.

In the last few hours there have been rumors about a possible exchange with Chelsea: Osimhen for Lukaku and money. And Bucchi gives his opinion on Roma’s current centre-forward: “I would see Lukaku well even if he hasn’t inspired in the last two years. However, he is a strong attacker due to his characteristics, he can fit in at Napoli but he must be put in a position to to be able to perform at his best. He loves to be the buoy to lean on and if the coach thinks of playing with many midfielders who throw themselves into the area and strong wingers he can be the right attacker.

He is certainly among the best attackers in this championship Gianluca Scamacca. It was Bucchi himself who made him debut: “In terms of personality, he can be a centre-forward for Napoli, I made him debut in Serie A with Sassuolo in Naples. He has a lot of personality, the problem would not be to cope with the square and the Naples environment. the problem could be his characteristics, he loves to come towards and slip away, so you have to play with other players who occupy the penalty area. He often scores from outside the area, which means that Raspadori goes around a lot behind him 4231 would be perfect. Games 433 Scamacca is not the perfect terminal. If I had to build a team thinking of playing with two strikers (between 352 and 442 or 4231) I would take Scamacca all my life.”
