Last weekend, Juventus found an unlikely savior in the form of Nicolò Fagioli. The midfielder is yet to start a match for Juventus this season. Nonetheless, he only needed a second half cameo to make the damage against Lecce.
The former Cremonese man immediately improved what was a stagnant midfield, before snatching the winner with a splendid curler.
Therefore, the 21-year-old earned a recognition in the Best XI formation from Serie A Round 12 as published by Calciomercato.
Moreover, Roma’s Cristian Volpato was another youngster who made all the difference following his second half introduction. He scored a goal and provided an assist in the Giallorossi’s win in Verona.
As one would expect, Napoli dominated the lineup with four entries following their 4-0 routing of Sassuolo.
Hattrick hero Victor Osimhen leads the line alongside the sensational Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The other Partenopei stars in the ideal formation are Mario Rui and Kim Min-jae.
For their part, Inter also have a couple of entries in Nicolò Barella and Alessandro Bastoni, while Antonio Candreva gets the nod following his brilliant display for Salernitana against his former club Lazio.
Serie A Round 12 Best XI (3-4-3): Terraciano (Fiorentina); Djidji (Torino), Kim (Napoli), Bastoni (Inter); Candreva (Salernitana), Barella (Inter), Fagioli (Juventus), Mario Rui (Napoli); Volpato (Roma), Osimhen (Napoli), Kvaratskhelia (Napoli)
