2012-13 season
As from the 2012–13 season De Sciglio was assigned the number 2 shirt, which he called "very important" as in the past it was worn "by great players like Mauro Tassotti and Cafu", adding that he hoped to "live up to their standards".[11] Throughout the season, De Sciglio became a regular in the starting line-up thanks to a series of convincing performances.[12] He made 33 appearances in the 2012-13 season, managing three assists in the process. He played as both a left back and right back, showing competence on either flank.2013-14 season
The 2013-14 season was a frustrating one for De Sciglio. He missed 20 matches in total due to various injuries which limited him to making just 21 appearances for the season in all competitions. On May 18, De Sciglio was sent off in Milan's game against Sassuolo .De Sciglio healed in time to participate with his national side Italy in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil[13]International career
De Sciglio won eight caps for Italy under-19 between 2010 and 2011,[14] including two appearances and one goal in the 2011 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship qualifying round.[15] Subsequently, he represented Italy under-20, winning five caps between 2011 and 2012.[14] On 25 April 2012, he made his debut for Italy under-21, coming on as a substitute midway through the second half of a friendly match against Scotland, which Italy won 4–1.[16][17] For the under-21 side, he went on to make four further appearances, all in 2012.[14]Less than four months after making his debut for the under-21 side, De Sciglio received his first call-up to the Italy senior team, as manager Cesare Prandelli named him to the squad for a friendly match against England to be played on 15 August 2012.[18] However, he was left as an unused substitute in the 2–1 defeat.[19] He went on to make his debut for the senior team on 21 March 2013, in a friendly match against Brazil that ended in a 2–2 draw.[20][21]
At the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup De Sciglio played in four games out of five, including the third-place match against Uruguay that Italy won on penalties.
Style of play
De Sciglio is primarily a right-sided full-back, who can play comfortably also on the left side due to his ability with his left foot.[5] Former Milan player Alberigo Evani, who coached him during the 2007–08 season,[3] described De Sciglio as "a fast runner, with good technique", and also as "a versatile footballer".[22] Along with fellow Italian fullback Davide Santon, De Sciglio's precocious displays for Milan and the Italian National side have caused players, managers and pundits to describe him as the heir apparent of Paolo Maldini;[23] he has also been compared to former Milan right-back Mauro Tassotti.[24] His managers have also praised him for his maturity, tenacity and composure, both when attacking or defending.[25]Career statistics
