Cristiano De Paoli

Cristiano De Paoli is a 17 years old Itallian under 17 international who stands at 1.85m tall. Aggressive defender in marking the direct opponent, strong in duels and with good positional sense. Technically evolved, he comes out of the first phase of pressure well through dribbling. He is good in the build up, because he is calm with the ball and reveals skill in passing.

Player of average height (185 cm), agile and physically strong. An intelligent defender in the defensive process, he occupies defensive spaces well, demonstrates good positional sense, always being in the right place, and covers his opponents well, especially on the wings. He reveals maturity in his game and a good ability to recover possession of the ball due to his good timing in the tackle and his good skill in physical duels. He is aggressive in his actions, is strong in marking the direct opponent and has a good approach to crosses, positioning himself in the right place to intercept the ball. Technically advanced, he adds quality in the first phase of construction, playing well. He is strong under pressure, showing skill in dribbling past the pressure zones. He is calm and confident with the ball, reveals a good first touch and demonstrates quality in long and short passes when connecting inside the opponent's structure. His weak point is periods of excessive aggression, which he does not measure well in this aspect. Player with potential who plays for Udinese's U17 and has already made some appearances for the U19 team. In the near future, I see him progressing through the youth ranks of the Italian club and later being loaned out to gain experience and then try to establish himself in the Udinese first team.
