Alessio Baralla

Alessio Baralla is a 17 years old Italian under 17 international who stands at 1.69m tall. A defensive midfielder who has a good relationship with the ball, is assertive in passing and executes precise long passes. He builds the game well, has good decision-making and has a good shot from medium distance. He has a good positional sense, is strong in tackling and is aggressive in his actions.

Right footed defensive midfielder, with a low center of gravity, fast and agile. Technically advanced, good at dribbling and has a good first touch to guide to his next action. Demonstrates the ability to break lines through passing, being assertive in passing, has the ability to put the ball deep for the forwards to run and presenting a good long pass to vary the center of the game. He drops in the field to add quality in the first phase of construction, as he is intelligent in this phase, distributing the game well and starting the team's attack phase. He shows the ability to retain possession, as he hides the ball well through short passes and makes quick and good decisions in his actions. Demonstrates a wide range of action, having a good perception of space, even reaching the final third where he presents a good shot from medium distance. Defensively, he reveals a good positional sense, always being in the right place to intercept, is aggressive in his defensive actions and has good timing in disarming, recovering possession several times. Intelligent athlete, who has good vision of the game and brings intensity to his game. His weak point is his physical aspect, so he sometimes loses physical duels. A player with potential who usually plays for Empoli's U17 and U19 teams, and was one of the great revelations of this tournament. In the near future, I see him developing his skills in the Italian club's Primavera team, and then becoming a bet for Empoli's main team.
