Lorenzo Lucca has not had a good time so far at Nottingham Forest.
After scoring a goal on his debut, the striker's spell came to an end and soon, a mystery surrounded his absence for two matches. This became clear after confirming the ankle injury.
sports witness The Italian has already covered claims that have questioned the striker's general attitude. This was cited as one of the reasons why his time at Napoli was not a good one, as he never made much of an impression under Antonio Conte.
Even if his absence at Nottingham Forest was due to injury, there is a lot of character assassination of the player going on. And it seems to have gotten even worse.
Lucca's character was questioned
Journalist Salvatore Caiazza spoke to Canale 8 and was asked specifically about the situation in Lucca.
The Italian did not hold back from revealing details about the player and his general behaviour.
He said- relayed by tuttonapoli: : “He could not join this team because of his character flaws.
"I assure you, and I say this because I know it, that no one could stand up to him. He didn't get along with anyone. He was alone, he went out alone."
Additionally, Kaizza revealed that Lucca usually cuts his hair at home when other players have specific barbers. It feels like it's scraping the barrel for criticism and gives it a level-headed look for some in Italy.
"Let me give you an example. The custom there is that the barber cuts everyone's hair, but he cut his hair at home. He didn't make any team. It's a common example, but that's how it is."
Our perspective on Lucca's criticism
The Italian press appears to have gone to the extreme in its deliberate mudslinging of Lucca. This level feels forced and an attempt to justify Napoli's decision to let him leave after just six months.
They easily forget that the 25-year-old performed very well at Udinese. He contributed with 26 goals in two seasons, earning him a place in the national team. Just because it didn't work out at Napoli doesn't mean Lucca is a bad player (or a bad person). Besides, how he likes to get his hair cut says nothing about the striker.
Nottingham Forest is his chance to prove the naysayers wrong in Italy. He is experienced in demotion battles. If he returns and scores some important goals, the entire perspective around him will change.
