Since arriving In Cesena Schelotto has earnt rave reviews for his performances on the Right Flank. Schelotto is compared by many to having the qualities of fellow argentine/italian Mauro Camoranesi. He is an all round right sided player blessed with blistering pace and agility with the ability to not only attack but also track back and defend when called upon.

It is the opinion of many that Schelotto will go on to become a major talent in future years. When Marcello Lippi featured as a guest on Sky Italia, he described Schelotto as 'potentially, the best young right-flank player that Italy have at the moment, maybe of any nation in the world'.
