Attack/Defence Awareness Card:
BalancedINFO:Bencina was a defensive or central midfielder. He played mostly for Cremonese: 231 matches and 8 goals from 1981 to 1988, being captain for five seasons. During his time at Cremonese, he refused offers from bigger clubs, showing great affection to the club. However he played for other teams: Udinese, Hellas Verona, Palermo, Venezia and Alessandria.
Bencina was the brain of Cremonese, the metronome who gave pace and rhythm. He was an able passer of the ball, gifted with tactical intelligence, superior vision of the game and great charisma. He didn't score much while he rather passed the ball. However he didn't dislike going in the box to push in goal a goalkeeper save or dribble an opponent if he saw some space to shoot from good position.
