Cutrone Patrick
Patrick Cutrone is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a forward for the Italy national football team. Known for his eye for goal, Cutrone has been described as a “true number 9” by several Italian football pundits. His main playing attributes as a forward are his physical strength, positioning, aerial ability, and heading, as well as his opportunism, movement, and ability to read the game; his technique and team play have been cited as areas for improvement, however. Due to his characteristics, he has been compared to former A.C. Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi, who used to train him while working as a coach with the A.C. Milan Youth Sector from 2012 to 2014. Although being an avid Milan fan since childhood, he idolizes Alvaro Morata. Another player he looks up to is Andrea Belotti.
