Style of play

Florenzi is a tenacious, tactically intelligent and well-rounded player who is extremely versatile. Although initially he was usually deployed as a central midfielder, in the "mezzala" role, he is a box-to-box player capable of playing anywhere in midfield, and he has recently also been deployed as a winger, and even as an attacking full-back or wing-back on either flank throughout his career, although he favours the right side.{{cite web|url=http://www.repubblica.it/sport/calcio/champions/2014/11/25/news/verso_cska_roma-101385937/|title=Champions, Garcia ci ripensa: Florenzi terzino destro|publisher=La Repubblica|language=it|date=25 November 2014|access-date=26 January 2015}}{{cite web|url=http://www.calcionews24.com/crotone-florenzi-a-roma-mi-conoscono-223847.html|title=Crotone, Florenzi: "A Roma mi conoscono"|date=3 April 2012|publisher=CalcioNews24.com|language=it|access-date=26 January 2015}}{{cite web |url=https://www.fcinter1908.it/ultimora/florenzi-inter-jolly-conte-gennaio/ |title=Un acquisto per tappare più buchi: Florenzi il jolly per Conte.
