The Champions: Paolo De Ceglie

Despite finding regular first team opportunities limited by Kwadwo Asamoah’s explosive form on the left flank, the ever reliable Paolo De Ceglie was still able to weigh in with an important contribution throughout the 2012/13 Serie A campaign. The Aosta-born full-back made 14 championship appearances and featured for a total of 878 minutes, producing consistent displays whenever called upon by Antonio Conte. Paolo delivered 61 crosses over the course of the season, the fourth highest figure of the entire squad, and frequently displayed his pinpoint precision when tasked with picking out a team-mate, with 246 of his 289 attempted passes (83.2%) reaching their intended target.
