Playstyle
Position
He's a defender, maybe a left sideback (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 92, pages 26-27).
Passing
He can contribute to the fast circulating passes from Italy Jr. youth, Matsuyama and Ishizaki might not be able to do anything against them, especially in a 2 vs 7 situation (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 91, pages 86 to 90), can perform fast and quick circulating passes, Nitta and the Tachibana might not react against them but Soda can take the ball with his razor tackle (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 91, pages 79-80), can send a long pass (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 91, pages 95-96), can send a high pass to the front line to avoid the middle of the field, but it can be intercepted by a skylab hurricane from the Tachibanas (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 91, pages 62 to 64).
Defensive abilities
Along with the other players of Italy Jr. youth, he can give troubles to Tsubasa who may not be able to get past them easily (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 91, page 95), and he greatly contributed with other defenders, to Gino's invincibility record (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 92, pages 26-27).
Ball stealing
He may not be able to stop a dribble breakthrough from Tsubasa with a sliding tackle done with the left leg (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 89, pages 15-16), (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 91, pages 19-20), he wasn't able to stop one from Misaki either (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 92, pages 8-9). He was also not able to stop Tsubasa from using a heel lift (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 92, pages 70-71).
Interception
He can intercept a pass from Sawada (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 91, page 95).
Marking
He can mark an opponent like Tsubasa along with Marinho to prevent him from receiving passes, but Tsubasa can still go over them (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 92, pages 26 to 33).
Other informations
His name is マルコ (Marco) in the manga (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 91, pages 94) and トリノ (Torino) later in the manga as well (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 92, pages 26-27).
As a result, the CTJ game on PS1 created two different characters, whose complete names are アチリオ トリノ (Acilio Torino) and ジャンルカ マルコ (Gianluca Marco).
However, a more logical explanation is that Marco is his first name and Torino his last name.
