He’s smiling again, and really doing it, Patrick Cutrone. Who is the unexpected top scorer in Serie A. “I’m happy again, which I consider to be one of the most important things for me. Mentally I’m fine, I’m calm. I’m finally happy, it’s just the beginning and I want to continue like this,” he said. said after the brace against Hellas Verona. Yep, double. In the Italian top flight, only Nicola Amoruso had achieved this before him with the Como shirt in 2003.
The best version of his career
Let’s take the numbers from Cutrone’s last time in Serie A. 28 games, 3 goals, 1 assist. He had tried in Tuscany, with Empoli, the experience was a gray failure. Yet even in that case it was an attempt at redemption after the wonderful premises with Milan and the consecutive disappointments and declines with Fiorentina and Valencia, also combined with the experience at Wolverhampton. He had rolled up his sleeves and socks but even in Corsi’s club he hadn’t managed to unlock himself. Then, Como. Then the rebirth. Then the return to Serie A this season, 6 goals, 4 goals, 1 assist.
The identity card
Ureg remember it. Cutrone is 26 years old. “He has found balance. Serie A is his stage”, says Como sporting director, Carlalberto Ludi, of him. In his best season he reached 18 goals overall in the season, here we are much more than the good morning we see from the morning. Cutrone is in the best season of his career in Serie A, the guidance of Cesc Fabregas, the harmony with his teammates, the trust given to him in the transfer market when the names of noble and heavy strikers were dancing… All elements that are giving a new life to Cutrone, an element to keep a particular eye on today in the delicate challenge against Antonio Conte’s Napoli.
