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.

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'.
