A good test for Joao Miranda yesterday against Schalke 04. The positive performance of the Brazilian center back and captain is highlighted by the Gazzetta dello Sport :
“Has Spalletti shaken Joao Miranda too? Two great challenges won against Burgstaller and Harit whilst also loudly directing his teammates what to do bodes well for the future.”

He should be the commander from and for the defense even thought Icardi still has the armband…
We need a general.
he’s captain material..
Is he really our new cap? ( i would be happy with that ) or just till Icardi comes back ?
I hope Spaletti has the balls to take armband from Icardi…good player but not leader/captain material… I have always say it Handanovic should have been the captain after Ranocchia….. But they accept Wanda demands for Icardi to renew… Gagliardini has shown more leadership than Icardi with 1/2 season in the team even in the Italy squad…. Not saying that he will be captain… But that should to Miranda or Handa.
so true
I think he’s our true captain.
