Known for his technical ability, work rate, and creativity, he is often recognised as one of the best midfielders in the world.<BR><BR>In June 2021, he was included in Italy&#39;s squad for UEFA Euro 2020. On 10 October 2021, Barella scored the opening goal in a 2&#8211;1 home win over Belgium in the bronze medal match of the 2020&#8211;21 UEFA Nations League. On 24 March 2024, Barella was given the captain&#39;s armband for the first time in a 2&#8211;0 win friendly against Ecuador, in which he also scored the second goal.<BR><BR>Barella is considered a talented midfielder in the European sports media. He was named the best young Italian player born in 1997 for two consecutive years between 2012 and 2013. Italian football journalist Mina Rzouki described him as an intelligent, promising, and composed midfielder, despite his young age, with a wide range of skills. She also commented that Barella &quot;...can dribble through a defence, score volleys and start counter-attacks. He knows how to find the right passes and is box-to-box. Most importantly he can win back possession quickly and recover the ball.&quot; Barella&#39;s performances have also been praised by Italian former footballers Andrea Pirlo and Alessandro Del Piero. The Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport has compared him to Steven Gerrard, describing him as a dynamic player with good technique, vision, stamina, and physical strength, despite his relatively short stature, as well as an ability to win balls, which enables him to break down possession and subsequently start quick attacking plays. A versatile player, he is capable of playing anywhere in midfield, and has even been used as an attacking midfielder or as a defensive midfielder, but his favoured role is as a right-sided, offensive-minded central midfielder, known as a &quot;mezzala&quot; in Italy. Known for his eye for goal, he possesses a good shot from outside the area, and is known for his ability to make late attacking runs from behind into the penalty area. He is also an accurate set piece and penalty taker. He is known for his strong character, leadership qualities, competitive spirit, and winning mentality, but has also drawn criticism at times in the press for protesting or arguing excessively with officials during matches. His Italy teammate Jorginho has likened him to N&#39;Golo Kante.","E40B4988E6F21D3C":"366091","C9B224F2C5B356EF":"Inter Milan","92D102DDE1327A88":"Nicolo Barella","e_index":7};
