It's the second part of that second sentence for me. I don't think Conte cannot recognise the talent, I think he just refuses to give youth a chance over the experienced professional until it's absolutely required.

Sarr just put on one of the better displays in MF we've seen all year and you could see the confidence oozing as the match went on. The first half, he was a little timid but showed his class with his touches on the ball. Second half, he was winning every challenge, firing shots from distance and genuinely putting on a brilliant display as a 20 year old.

Sarr is a very good player. May not have a killer pass or shot, but otherwise I see no serious weakness to his game.

Very well rounded player.
 
Shouldn't be taking season ending injuries to our starters for players like this to be getting minutes. Sarr is a talented kid and loved how he finished out this game.. thought he was good throughout, but watching him compete for the ball in the corner in the 89th min, and another time in midfield at minute 92.. you could see that he knew the importance of at least keeping the score as it was if not levelling up the game. Has a good future in the game, hopefully he can keep improving and become a top player.

Conte brought Sarr into the team at 20...

People seriously saying he's mistreated him?

Bet if you ask Sarr, he's super fucking grateful for the opportunity at such a young age.

why does the fact hes 20 matter? hes shown hes good enough. you think any other manager would play bentancur and PEH against leicester when they know PEH is suspended for the CL game and bentancur is one of the most important players in the side? they are resting bentancur, especially when sarr is more than good enough to come in. conte has run the same players into the ground all season, some of them (son, dier, davies) havent even been good enough to deserve starts, yet theyve still been overused.


its not bad luck that betancur got injured, its poor management.

motm tonight. everything you want from a young midfielder. i think him and bissouma would be one hell of a midfield 2 eventually. both can play and both are more than capable physically.

hes going to take his chance these next few months, hes too good to fail. love his attitude he looks like a sweet boy but hes all about buisness on the pitch just like it should be. hell be even better when you dont put him with shit like dier and davies

you did notice davies only played a few minutes right?
 
Terrific game by the lad.

One of the few positives from today.

He seems to have so much time and great vision to find a teammate in a better position. Wasn't fazed at all under CL pressure. As mentioned by Doc Doc , the urgency he showed in the final minutes was brilliant, and should be infectious to others.
