With change in management at the beginning of the season, the loss of star Midfielder Manuel Locatelli and the loan move of Striker Francesco Caputo, Sassuolo had reasonable concerns to emulate the performances of the last 2 campaigns.
But thanks to the team's young guns, Alessio Dionisi is able to go toe to toe in terms of on field offensive displays against some of the best teams and players of the Italian Top flight.
The likes of Gianluca Scamacca, Giacomo Raspadori, Maxime Lopez, Davide Fratessi, Hamed Junior Traore and many more are at the very core of this exciting yet young generation of Neroverdi starlets.
Not only have they shown positional versatility when Dionisi has wanted to change things up in terms of the shape and structure of the team but also the maturity and decision making of some of these players has been extremely impressive this season.
With Roberto Mancini facing a bit of a striker crisis in his Azzuri job, the likes of Gianluca Scamacca can certainly anticipate a call up to the national side with the kind of red hot form he is in right now.
His physicality upfront along with his holdup play and deadly finishing, is definitely something worth exploring for both Mancini and Dionisi.
The pivot duo of Maxime Lopez and Davide Frattesi are certainly growing together as a pair and as individuals and are also learning how to balance both their offensive and defensive ends of their game, with Frattesi starting to get more involved in goals for the Neroverdi in recent matchweeks.
Giacomo Raspadori, despite not starting upfront as an out and out striker, is adapting really well into the multiple roles he's been used. Be it the No.10 or the wide left position. His dribbling and linkup are some of his game's standout highlights and are great assets for Dionisi's men during quicker transitions. Once he gains more confidence and matures as a player, his finishing will certainly get better that'd result him getting more goals.
All in all this young group of Sassuolo ballers are ones for the future who you could keep an eye on for sure!
