My Take
I find Locatelli a genuinely fascinating midfielder because his value lives in the things highlight reels ignore. Captaining Juventus at his age says plenty about his maturity, and his game is built on positioning, vision and tempo rather than spectacle. He is the sort of deep-lying playmaker who makes everyone around him look better while quietly absorbing pressure himself. I respect players whose intelligence outshines their flash, and Locatelli is squarely in that camp. If he keeps refining his reading of the game, I genuinely believe he can become one of Italy's defining midfielders of his generation.
