In this tactical analysis, we focus a magnifying glass on Emanuel Vignato. He is a crystalline talent of the first team of Chievo Verona (Serie B). Born in Negrar in the province of Verona in 2000, Vignato comes from an Italian-Brazilian family. Therefore, it is not by chance that he has already collected some presence in the Under-17 green-gold national team of Brazil and then decided to definitively “marry” the blue colours of Italy in the Under-18 and Under-20 squads.
Vignato began to play for Chievo´s first-team squad at the age of 16, in the 16/17 season, and soon the reasons for this choice were explained to everyone: his class, talent, and pure inspiration. It is no coincidence that he won the confidence of the Gialloblù squad in a noticeably short time. Since last season, the club has joined him on a permanent basis to the first team as well as given him his Serie A debut against Roma.
The Venetian jewel has not gone unnoticed even outside Verona: teams like Juventus and Milan, as well as Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea, all seem to have asked his agent for information. However, Chievo sold him for just 2 million euros (current market value: 4,2 million euros) in the last winter transfer window. Otherwise, he would have become a free agent this summer. His new club Bologna immediately loaned him back to Chievo for a half year. In August, Vignato will return to Bologna to play in Serie A again.
Both, Chievo and Bologna know it: Vignato is a big talent and ready to start a successful career. This scout report will provide a tactical analysis of the role Vignato plays at Chievo. Furthermore, the analysis will show you how he will fit into Bologna´s tactics.
Role in the system at Chievo
In the 4-3-3 system of Alfredo Aglietti, Vignato (number 25) is deployed in the role of the right-winger. If necessary, he can also play on the left wing. So he can help the team playing as the most offensive player during a match as you can see in the image below.
If head coach Aglietti uses a tactic with an offensive midfielder (4-3-1-2), Vignato is playing as the only number 10 in an advanced midfield position or as a false 9. In these two positions, he can show his creativity the most.
