What's new

Cesare Casadei

Some more nice feedback on Casadei ... this time in the Reading Chronicle, following Reading's latest game :

Cesare Casadei, 7: Another good performance from the Chelsea youngster. Loved to get forward and support the forwards, as well as tracking back.

Sounds like he is developing nicely as a box-to-box midfielder !

 
Would he compliment Enzo well? We seem to be hoarding a hell of a lot of midfielders that play best in the opponents half. Looks a good player though, glad we got him and Santos.

He looks like hes got a bit of mongrel in him too, which were sometimes lacking.

Could well do ... physically at least he's a good match for Enzo. I think you need at least one well-built guy in there out of your 2 or 3 central midfielders to add that element of physicality and steel. Certainly going to be interesting to see which of our new crop are able to kick on to the top level. l think Chukwuemeka might have a lot of upside that we haven't seen yet as well.

 
Seems to have been forgotten about since we signed him.

There was a meeting of Chelsea players at the Under-20 World Cup on Sunday night and it was Cesare Casadei who shone to help Italy get the better of Andrey Santos’s Brazil.

Both players captained their respective countries, and it was Casadei who emerged with the bragging rights as he assisted one goal and scored two more before half-time as Italy raced into a three-goal lead. Brazil got two back late on, but it was not enough to prevent a 3-2 defeat.

The Italians were up and running in the 11th minute when Casadei won the first header from a left-wing cross which he flicked on to Matteo Prati to half-volley into the roof of the net.

A quarter-of-an-hour later, Casadei made it two. Again his aerial prowess was too much for the Brazilians to handle as he won the first contact from a corner and then nodded the bouncing ball into the unguarded net.

Casadei was not done there. With 33 minutes played, he glided past the Brazil right-back who could only drag him to the ground. It was a clear penalty, one Casadei confidently converted to the keeper’s left.

The fact we have both the Brazil and Italy U20 captains in our team is impressive. 

Still a long way to go on the mens game of course, but very nice early signs. As long as they keep stepping up their levels and improving we got nothing to worry about

 
Would be great if Boehly manages to buy one or two clubs reported so these guys could go there to play.

 
Watched the game. Casadei was brilliant.

Obviously a long way to go by stylistically he reminds me of a young Ballack.

Andrey Santos was poor though, he's also had a really poor season at Vasco as far as I know so that's a bit concerning.

Your are partially right. It’s to do with when your born in the school year calendar. Sept-Feb have a better chance of making a pro footballer than kids born later in the school year.

Who can I complain to for not making it to professional level despite having the advantage of a November birthday ?

 
That and Mikel..and Malouda’s selfishness not to pass to Torres during 2010!

 
I don't know much about him, but I assumed he was a young teenager

If he's 20 yo surely he should be in the squad next season and not on loan ?

Brighton are playing teenagers all season, maybe we should take a chance with young players ?

Given Pochettino reputation for developing young talent I woild hope he gets time with each of our youngster and decides which ones are going to get minutes for him and which ones need loans.

He is on record as saying young players need to play, so if they won't get that here we need good loans for them.

 
I hope that Pochettino takes a look at the youngsters we have on the books like Casadei and Santos because they could very well be top class and complement Enzo. We'd also be saving some money.

 
Another headed goal and headed assist against Columbia in the u20 quarter final. We need his aerial skills particularly if havertz goes. 
 

italy have some u20 team. 

 
With the Ugarte deal falling through and Caicedo looking anything but sure, should we be giving him a starting birth next season?

He's probably the more ready of the two (Casadei + Santos).

We want to develop our own talents right? The very best should join Hall in getting regular minutes next season. If that is Casadei then he should be in.

No point in bring in a youth developing manager and not giving our best youth a shot.
