Cesare Casadei was put up to speak to the media ahead of the Conference League this week, a rather surprising decision.
He’s not only young and inexperienced, his English is still being worked on.
We really respect him for doing it, and he had plenty of interesting things to say about manager Enzo Maresca – who was of course his boss last season when Casadei was loaned to Leicester.
Maresca praised him a lot after he got a rather surprising start last week against Barrow. Could this selection for media duties hint that he’s going to get another start tomorrow? It’s certainly on the cards, with likely a similar team to the one that played in the EFL Cup being prepared. Building chemistry in that B team is important too, so keeping the same regular selections there has plenty of merit.
