Antonio Nocerino is an Italian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie A club Torino on loan from Milan. He has also represented the Italian national team. Compared to Gennaro Gattuso during his time at Milan, Nocerino is an energetic player who is primarily delopyed as a ball-winning defensive midfielder, or as a box-to-box midfielder, although he can be deployed anywhere in midfield. During his time at Juventus, he was played as a deep-lying playmaker on occasion, and even as a winger, although his preferred role is that of an attacking midfielder. Nocerino is primarily known for his pace, stamina, strength, and his tenacious tackling ability, as well his adeptness at reading the game. He is also capable of being an offensive threat due to his tendency to make attacking runs, as well as his powerful and accurate shot from distance. He has also recently improved his distribution, as well as his technical and creative skills, which make him capable of providing assists for team-mates.
