Gioele GIAMMATTEI
Date of birth: May 25, 2009
Nationality: Italian
Height: approx. 177 cm
Foot: Right
Current team: AS Roma U17
Position: Right central midfielder
Of medium-tall height and lean build. Muscular structure is well-developed and balanced in both upper and lower limbs, with some room for further physical growth. Moves with harmony and elegance, showing good coordination and fluid running mechanics with solid foot placement. Displays notable dynamism and quickness, especially over short distances, while also maintaining good pace over longer runs.
His dominant foot is the right, which he uses effectively for first touch and shooting. Long-range passing, both aerial and on the ground, is not among his strongest traits, but he combines well in tight spaces with teammates. His ball control and dribbling can be somewhat unrefined, yet his quick movements and sharp changes of direction allow him to create numerical superiority and get frequent shots on goal — with good finishing efficiency for his position. He also uses his weaker foot adequately, mainly for shooting.
Typically deployed as a right-sided central midfielder in a 4-3-1-2 formation. He’s not heavily involved in the build-up phase from the back, preferring instead to receive the ball between the lines or make runs behind the opposing defense, taking advantage of his strong timing and off-the-ball movement. Occasionally plays wider — though he doesn’t seek that position often — to open central space, before combining with forwards’ runs or releasing overlapping full-backs in behind.
In the defensive phase, he can appear somewhat passive, alternating his pressing efforts and showing limited consistency in ball recovery. His tactical positioning relative to teammates, the ball, and opponents still needs refinement.
He must continue to develop his mental and character aspects, which could help him grow into a top prospect within the national scene.
A key player for both AS Roma and the Italian U17 national team.
