The two players are teammates at Under-21 level and will face each other this weekend when Bernardeschi’s Fiorentina” data-scaytid=”6″>Fiorentina entertain Genoa.
“They both have important qualities,” the former Milan winger told Tuttosport. “They sill need to grow, but they can be protagonists in Serie A and the national side.
“Bernardeschi has always been good technically. He has good vision and last season on loan at Crotone was important for his growth.
“His characteristics are a good marriage to the football of Vincenzo Montella in Florence.
“Sturaro, meanwhile, has quantity and quality, he defends and constructs. He really has improved since becoming a regular for Gian Piero Gasperini.”
Bernardeschi is a dangerous attacking player, while central midfielder Sturaro was actually bought by Juventus in the summer for €5.5m but was allowed to stay on loan with the Rossoblu.
Evani worked with both players in the Italian Under-17, U-18 and U-19 set-ups.
