Here is Fabian in Naples and Carlo Ancelotti is as enthusiastic as a boy who has won the best pieces. Only here we are not in the field of fantasy, but in the project of an exponentially growing blue team. Fabian Ruiz was the first shot of the Ancelotti band just dressed in blue colors. It was May of 2018, the Andalusian was on a list already studied by the sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli and the technician had no doubts and asked the club to quickly close that operation. Also because his son Davide, who for a period had lived in Spain with his partner, had seen the powerful midfielder several times at work with Betis: 30 million to pay the clause at the Seville club, and a value that today is more than doubled, with Real Madrid ready to go crazy, but Aurelio De Laurentiis for now doesn't want to hear about it being sold.
TOP PLAYER UNDER 21— A year later, Fabian returns to Italy, from today the shooting in Castel Volturno of training, after winning an European Under 21, from absolute protagonist: so much to be awarded as best player. And after that success, the 23-year-old Spaniard showed gratitude by emphasizing: "If I have reached these levels my thanks go above all to Carlo Ancelotti, who taught me to fill different roles in midfield, making me a more complete and mature player". Here, one of the aspects dear to the technician of Reggiolo: «Football has changed, it is no longer asked for an excessive specialization, but players are able to interpret more roles, albeit obviously with different characteristics. And Fabian is one who can do the outside, but also be in the middle, or behind the first point. I can decide to move it even in the same position match and it is not the only one. Zielinski, with a different pace, can play more roles, as well as Elmas has all the potential to do it and must learn our movements ".
INTERCHANGEABLE - Beyond the various and possible market shots, Ancelotti has in mind a very elastic and tactically advanced 4-2-3-1, which besides Allan revolves around the qualities of Fabian, Piotr and Elif: the three boys terrible. Without forgetting the "hen" José Callejon, one who, apart from the goalkeeper, at Napoli has done everything in these years. The idea is that of a scalene triangle, able to rotate, not giving references to the adversaries, with a median that reaches the conclusion and is inserted, an exterior that cuts and in any case everyone must be able to frame the door from 20 meters with effectiveness . The only striker of reference is a concept that does not fascinate Ancelotti, who prefers a team capable of changing skin during the race and of having different guns, so as to put in difficulty any defensive set-up. And if Fabian was a bet a year ago and today it has become a certainty, the Macedonian Elif Elmas is the new card on which the coach aims with such conviction. The boy is fascinated by his new coach and if the premises are the right ones, we will see some good ones.
