Scott McTominay, also scoring in yesterday’s very heavy victory for Napoli in Bergamo against Atalanta, he is increasingly receiving unanimous approval. Antonio Conte has repeatedly underlined his importance for the fortunes of the Azzurri and also for how he allowed him to change the Azzurri’s playing system.
Now the Scotsman also disturbs important comparisons. Giuseppe Falcao, son of the former Brazil and Roma midfielder Paulo Roberto, from his profile on Z has in fact extolled his growth, comparing him to his father: “I rarely talk about players from other teams” – he wrote – “There is, however, a player in this Championship who drives me crazy and has been driving me crazy for a few years. He’s Scottish and his name is Scott McTominay.”
Then he underlined: “Midfielder who knows how to do everything. Physical, technical, fits into spaces, scores. Leader. Maybe the comparison is strong, but he reminds me of a modern Falcao. Total midfielder. Jose Mourinho wasn’t stupid when he asked the club to buy him in the summer of 2023… Tiago Pinto took Renato Sanches from him though!”.
