Davide Faraoni
Marco Davide Faraoni (born 25 October 1991) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a right back for Serie B club Pescara.
Born in Bracciano, in the Province of Rome, Lazio region, Faraoni started his career at Rome-based club S.S. Lazio, for which he could play right or centre-back. He missed a few months in the 2009–10 season due to a right leg anterior cruciate ligament injury. Faraoni had played for Lazio's Giovanissimi regionali team to Primavera team.
On 1 July 2010, he was signed by Internazionale on a four-year contract on a reported free transfer. He was a member of Inter's Primavera under-20 team in the 2010–11 season. With the team, he also won the 2011 Torneo di Viareggio. He played various positions for the team, from right-back and left-back to right wing. Under new coach Leonardo, he was named in the first team squad several times but never made his first team debut in the 2010–11 season.
Faraoni did not play in the reserve league playoff round, as coach Fulvio Pea and the technical team chose to rest him and Alibec, two of the three senior players of the reserves.
Faraoni graduated from the youth team in 2011. Under new coach Gian Piero Gasperini, he played in pre-season friendlies, usually as a wing-back in 3–4–3 formation. and made his competitive debut in 2011 Supercoppa Italiana in Beijing. That match Gasperini used his symbolic 3–5–2 formation in the first half but changed to 4–4–1–1 in the second; Faraoni substituted midfielder Ricardo Álvarez in the 63rd minute, as a left-midfielder. He made his Serie A debut 3 months later, under new coach Claudio Ranieri, replacing Jonathan in the last minutes. That match Inter won against Cagliari 2–1. He was the only backup right-back of the team on UCL matchday 5 as Maicon had not yet recovered. He made his European debut in that match, replacing Ricky Álvarez on 22 November 2011, a 1–1 draw with Trabzonspor.
Faraoni played five out of a possible six matches for Inter in December, all as right midfielder. The first match was his first start in his professional career, losing to Udinese 0–1 on 3 December. In the next game, Faraoni played his first European start, losing to CSKA, but Inter already qualified as group winners before that match. He then played 3 out of 4 successive league matches, as a midfielder, in which Inter won all 4 matches and climbed from the bottom half to 5th before the winter break. Faraoni was highly rated in the first match (v. Fiorentina) but he was substituted at half time in the second (v. Genoa, by Álvarez, who made a winning assist) and third matches (v. Lecce, by Cambiasso). In those 4 league appearances, Zanetti moved from right midfielder to right-back twice (against Udinese & Genoa, Maicon was injured/rested, whilst he was suspended v. Fiorentina), and as central midfielder (v. Lecce, Cambiasso on the bench); while his right wing-back competitor Nagatomo was played as a left-back to replace injured Chivu in the latter 3 matches. Faraoni missed the match against Cesena on 18 December as Zanetti and Maicon restored to their usual positions.
Despite being returned to a 'backup' role on 7 January 2012 against Parma, Faraoni came on as a substitute and scored his first ever Serie A goal, in the 77th minute. He hit a stunning volley from the edge of the area which lobbed the Parma goalkeeper and crowned a 5–0 win. On 12 January 2012, Inter announced that Faraoni had signed a new 4+1⁄2-year contract. A week later, Faraoni made his Italian cup debut in a 2–1 win over Genoa.
Faraoni returned to the starting XI on 17 February, playing three successive Serie A matches. Since late January Inter had suffered from an injury crisis (Alvarez, Maicon and then Chivu twice), poor form and the departure of star player (Thiago Motta) and did not win any games with only two draws. The coach had changed the formation occasionally to fit the recovered Wesley Sneijder but there was no improvement. Faraoni had played as a right wing in 4–2–3–1 formation against Bologna (as the coach had limited choices of winger since the injury of Alvarez) and then starting right-back (due to the injuries of Maicon and Chivu, Nagatomo had to play left-back) for the first time in the 4–3–1–2 formation against Napoli. The third match saw the return of the 4–4–2 formation with Faraoni as a right midfielder. However, he was substituted for Sneijder at half time after the first half finished 0–2 against Catania. Eventually Inter 2–2 draw with Catania, their first point since January.
