Don Pacifico Absolutely. Martinelli can't play those delicate give-and-go's that Saka/Øde play. He doesn't have good close control so he has to rely on pace and stop-start motion to beat his man. And he is not a threat cutting inside and shooting on his stronger foot. (Incidentally, Rodrygo is great in all three of those areas.)
For me he is best in big games, when physical intensity matters, and there is space in behind on the counter. Against a sitting defense, he is basically useless.
