his age should 23-27 years, not 25-29

Zaccardo was nothing more than a good player who though always gave a lot of effort. In my opinion this set overrates him. His efficiency in attack wasn't 70 worthy. He was good at covering but doesn't deserve yellow value in proper defensive prowess. He had good general speed, not that much, but acceleration seemed better than top speed. He wasn't a dribbler full back who challenged the opponent − and he was slower than that when he tried a dribbling − but he rather got rid of the ball as fast as he could, mostly passing it and not wasting it. I wouldn't rate his curling on green value since I prefer giving at least 75 to those players who actually use often long passes or take free kicks and corners or shoot curled balls, making an important utilization out of their curling ability. I'm also not sure about that high STA and JUM. Was he really worthy of a value near orange and mid yellow?
Suggestions: ATT 68, DEF 78-79, STA 85, TS 80, ACC 81-82, DA 75, DS 73-74, CUR 72-73, JUM 83, TW 82, add CONS 7, add Covering, change Growth/Type to Standard/Lasting since he didn't improve after leaving Palermo (Early/Lasting would make his values grow up for a bit, thing that didn't happen in reality).
