Serie A: Midfielder of the season so far (Part 1)
The level of play in Italian midfields is slowly nearing the standards of seasons past. Serie A was hurt badly in the wake 2006 Calciopoli and the fact that star players like Kaka, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alberto-Aquilani-c4313 and Pavel Nedved – the Czech has retired from football and
joined Bianconeri in a directorial capacity – left the league for various reasons didn’t make matters any better.
The last couple of seasons have seen Calcio slowly recapture the talent required to fight with the Europe’s elite. The likes of Hernanes, Pastore and Hamsik are highly sought-after players who will make way into almost any European team.
The Serie A has returned to its competitive best this season and we have seen some world class midfield play in Italy. Bettor.com will now give out the verdict on who has been the best midfielder in the peninsula.

When http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-Maradona-c11160 selected the lanky Argentine for his World Cup squad, many – mostly people outside the peninsula – chuckled at his selection. Sadly, Pastore was not a key part of the La Albiceleste squad and the prodigy couldn’t prove the doubters wrong.
However, his Serie A form this season has been sensational, deserving the imagination of Europe’s elite; http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 FC. Such rich vein of form has forced Maurizio Zamparini to force a 50 million price tag on the player.
In full flow, Pastore is almost unstoppable. His strengths; passing, vision, dribbling and an eye for goal, are all the traits that trequartistas of old used to have – a joy to watch.

The Brazilian sensation made his highly anticipated move from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 this season in a deal that was worth 15 million Euros. Hernanes had been making the Brazilian Serie A team of the season for the past three seasons and rumours would go ripe regarding a
possible move every summer.
However it’s safe to say that this transfer was worth the wait. Aquile struggled against relegation for much of the season last term and many expected the patter to continue. Enter Hernanes and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 are challenging for Scudetto all of a sudden. The fact
that Hernanes is the only major Aquile signing of the summer goes a long way in explain the level of impact this Brazilian sensation has made at Stadio Olimpico, Rome.
Blessed with extraterrestrial vision and cushion of a right foot, Hernanes can work his way out from even the trickiest of situations despite not being the quickest of players, and play that killer pass. Five goals and numerous assists in 16 League appearances
and it’s his debut season in Europe.
Milos Krasic
The Serbian was so eager on joining the Bianconeri ranks that he reportedly paid 11,000 Euros to charter a plane so that he could reach Old Ladies’ training camp in time. His commitment to the Bianconeri cause has been no less spectacular.
Luigi Del Neri plays an attacking 4-4-2 formation and a club of Juventus’ pedigree needed world class wingers. While Milos Krasic has been tearing apart the Serie A defences from the right of Bianconeri midfield, Juventus desperately needed an equally talented
left winger. What they got instead was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Simone-Pepe-c33591; the worst winger to be playing in a Bianconeri jersey for a decade at least.
Krasic is just 26 years of age one feels he has some highly successful years in a Bianconeri jersey awaiting him.
