Former footballer Giancarlo Antognoni, speaking at the book presentation of `Volevo solo giocare a pallone,` also commented on Nicolò Fagioli: `He is an interesting young guy who has suffered. However, on the pitch, he shows the opposite. He is comfortable, a modern player, and perhaps different from others. He even attempts long passes and takes risks, which is not common in modern football. Yes, he reminds me of my long passes from years ago.`
