there was no reason why Camarda had to wait this long for his under 21 call up we could have won the under 21 euro with him last summer... he is special its not easy to just score goals like he does
Camarda Lecce (on loan from Milan) Italy Samuele Inácio Borussia Dortmund Italy Andrea Natali three italians made the list https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...0-of-the-best-young-talents-in-world-football
oh nice it's rare to see italian teenagers on these lists and really there are a handful more that could have been included. We need to get him before Germany does.
Camarda, Fini, and Ekhator proving we would have been a force in Chile. We gave the USA a pass, glad they got spanked by Morocco.
Guarda io ti dico che non ci sarebbe stato neanche bisogno di convocarli cosi come non ci sarebbe stato bisogno di convocare tutti quelli convicati in nazionale U21 (come Fini, Manè ecc..) sarebbe bastato avere giocatori come Bonamoni, Sia, Renato Marin, Kofler, Di Maggio, Rispoli, Cassa , Bruno, Magni ecc.. TUTTI GIOCATORI 2005/6 ovvero in età giusta oer il mondiale U20 (è magari al massimo 4 o 5 2007/8) non dico che avremmo vinto il mondiale, ma almeno avremmo presentato una squadra una squadra più idonea a partecipare al mondiale U20 Look, I'm telling you, there was really no need to call them up — just like there was no need to call up all those already selected for the U21 national team (like Fini, Manè, etc...). It would have been enough to rely on players like Bonamoni, Sia, Renato Marin, Kofler, Di Maggio, Rispoli, Cassa, Bruno, Magni, etc... all born in 2005/2006, which is exactly the right age for the U20 World Cup. Maybe at most include 4 or 5 players born in 2007/2008. I'm not saying we would have won the World Cup, but at least we would have fielded a squad more suited to the U20 competition
Yes, I wanted to see Di Maggio play especially. The players you listed, where is it ahead that you see them fit in? Which Azzurrini setup will they go into from here?
Allora vediamo Di Maggio(2005 Inter) e Ciammaglichella(2005 Torino) sono stati due che hanno guidato il centrocampo Azzurro U17-U18-U19 adesso sono rispettivamente in prestito al Padova (dove c'è anche Harder 2005 Fiorentina prestito un altro che doveva essere convocato secondo me) e alla Juve Stabia e se tu hai seguito le partite delle varie nazionali costituivano il CENTROCAMPO, poi direi Rispoli (2006 Como in prestito al Catanzaro) sarebbe stato utilissimo aggiungiamo Diego Sia (2006 Milan aggregato al Milan Futuro) sarebbe stato UTILISSIMO in attacco, in difesa Kofler (2005 Sud Tirolo serie B) avrebbe potuto prendere il posto di Corradi(che è del Verona , ma gioca nel Trento in Lega Pro) cosi come Fellipe Jack (2006 del Como in prestito allo Spezia) che era stato convocato prima che Nunziata lo Sconvocasse a causa di una serie di infortuni che hanno colpito lo Spezia che hanno costretto la stessa squadra a mettere il veto e costretto Nunziata a convocare d'emergenza Verde(Juventus Primavera) e non vado avanti oltre perchè ormai sono le 23.30 in Italia è domani mi devo alzare all 5.00 di mattina comunque tutti i 2005 chi più e chi meno sono in età di partecipazioni a questo bienno quindi hanno un annetto per convicere Baldini a convocarli mentre i 2006 possono partecipare anche al prossimo Biennio mentre i convocati da Nunziata al mondiale U20 nati nel 2007 (Nunziante, Cama, Emanuel, Sala, Verde, Iddrissou, Idele, Mosconi, Liberali) e 2008 (Natali) dovrebbero partecipare alle qualificazioni U19 di quest'anno che poi il torno U19 di questa stagione vale come qualificazioni al Mondiale u20 del 2027 (Addirittura Natali può partecipare al mondiale U17 che si terrà quest'anno) vabbeh qualche video dai Alright, let’s take a look. Di Maggio (2005, Inter) and Ciammaglichella (2005, Torino) were two players who led the Azzurri midfield in the U17, U18, and U19 teams. They are now on loan respectively to Padova (where Harder, 2005 from Fiorentina, is also playing on loan — another one I believe should’ve been called up) and Juve Stabia. And if you’ve followed the youth national teams' matches, you’d know they were the midfield. Then there’s Rispoli (2006, owned by Como, on loan to Catanzaro) — he would’ve been extremely useful. Let’s add Diego Sia (2006, Milan, currently with Milan Futuro), who would’ve been VERY useful up front. In defense, Kofler (2005, Südtirol in Serie B) could have taken the place of Corradi (he’s with Verona, but plays for Trento in Serie C), just like Fellipe Jack (2006, owned by Como, on loan to Spezia), who was actually called up at first, but was later dropped by Nunziata due to a series of injuries at Spezia. The club placed a veto and forced Nunziata to call up Verde (Juventus Primavera) as an emergency replacement. I’ll stop here because it’s already 11:30 PM in Italy and I have to get up at 5:00 AM tomorrow Anyway, all the 2005-born players — some more, some less — are still eligible to take part in this two-year cycle, so they have about a year to convince Baldini to call them up. The 2006-born players can also play in the next cycle. As for the players Nunziata selected for the U20 World Cup born in 2007 (Nunziante, Cama, Emanuel, Sala, Verde, Iddrissou, Idele, Mosconi, Liberali) and in 2008 (Natali), they should actually be playing in this year’s U19 qualifiers. In fact, the U19 tournament this season serves as qualification for the 2027 U20 World Cup. (Natali could even play in this year’s U17 World Cup!) Alright, time for a few videos now Comunque RAGAZZI ho visto un Torneo U14 questa estate è ho visto dei GIOCATORI PAZZESCHI uno addirittura nonstante fosse un 'anno età inferiore agli altri sembrava un MOSTRO vediamo se SABATO vi faccio una piccola scheda ma ripeto un GIOCATORE PAZZESCO (poi tra qualche anno potra fallire , ma AVEVA una tecnica PRODIGIOSA) Anyway GUYS, I watched a U14 tournament this summer and I saw some INSANE PLAYERS — one of them, even though he was a year younger than the others, looked like an ABSOLUTE BEAST. Let’s see if I can put together a little profile for you on SATURDAY, but seriously — an INCREDIBLE PLAYER. (Of course, he might not make it in a few years, but his technique was OUTSTANDING.)
Baldini has this U21 team marching along like a machine. There is a LOT of talent there. Even a guy like Dagasso (who deserves better than Pescara) showed what he can do. Gattuso may have to accelerate some callups in the next few months to round out our Senior side.
The Azzurrini Season Kicks Off: Enrico Battisti’s Selections for the Northern Squad Enrico Battisti, Head Coach of the Italy Under-15 National Team The top 44 players born in 2011 will take the field on Thursday, October 16 (2:45 PM) at the Novarello Villaggio Azzurro Sports Center in Granozzo con Monticello for an intra-squad friendly match. October 15, 2025, 2:45 PM Updated: October 15, 2025, 3:39 PM Category: U15 National Team The Under-15 National Team season will begin in Novarello, where the team will take the field tomorrow, Thursday, October 16 (2:45 PM), in Granozzo con Monticello for the Northern regional selection. Head coach Enrico Battisti has called up 44 players, all born in 2011, among whom stands out Juventus defender Ismaele Abdoulaye Matteo, who participated last season in the Southern regional selection wearing the Lecce jersey despite being underage. Three players also took part in the most recent edition of the Under-14 National Tournament "Il calciatore dell’Evolution Programme", a flagship project of the Youth and School Sector, held from May 9 to 11 at the Olympic Preparation Center in Tirrenia: Alessandro Gennaro Esposito, Juventus defender, who came up through the amateur club Victoria Marra in Campania; Gabriel Matrisciano, midfielder for Cremonese, formerly with the Campanian amateur side Progetto Giovani 2006; Nicolas Bottan, midfielder for Como, developed at the Lombard amateur club Accademia Internazionale. The Azzurrini’s journey will continue: October 23 in Catanzaro with the Southern selection, October 30 in Coverciano with the Central-Northern selection, November 6 in Rome with the Central selection, before taking part in the Christmas Tournament, scheduled for November 21–23 in Novarello. The UEFA Development Tournament, Italy’s first official competition, will take place in England from December 14 to 20. LIST OF CALLED-UP PLAYERS Goalkeepers: Francesco Ghezzi (Atalanta), Lorenzo Moretti (Juventus), Alessandro Posocco (Udinese), Samuele Spanò (Inter) Defenders: Christian Antonaci (Udinese), Immanuel Altieri (Torino), Andrea Bernasconi (Milan), Mattia Casella (Cremonese), Alessandro Danieli (Torino), Pedro Dos Santos (Atalanta), Alessandro Gennaro Esposito (Juventus), Diego Fazari (Monza), Antonio Manna (Milan), Ismaele Abdoulaye Matteo (Juventus), Alessandro Parisi (Inter), Fabrizio Pasotti (Cremonese), Riccardo Sartori (Padova), Adrien Tato (Milan), Alessandro Torri (Hellas Verona), Mattia Zanotti (Atalanta) Midfielders: Nicolas Bottan (Como), Alessandro Braida (Milan), Achille Cremonesi (Milan), Sean Luis Ebagua (Venezia), Mattia Gallo (Torino), Marlon Gato (Hellas Verona), Alessandro Grigioni (Inter), Gabriel Matrisciano (Cremonese), Alessandro Mazza (Inter)*, Alessio Nobile (Juventus), Carlo Alberto Salviato (Udinese), Cesare Scanferla (Padova) Forwards: Alberto Bellei (Atalanta), Manlio Carone (Atalanta), Edoardo Catania (Torino), Samuele Chiesa (Cremonese), Massimo Falce (Albinoleffe), Jacopo Giussani (Como), Christian Laruccia (Juventus), Alex Alberto Magrin (Atalanta), Riccardo Martellini (Torino), Riccardo Monte (Juventus), Francesco Paesanti (Juventus), Panfilo Partemi (Torino) *Called up on October 15 to replace the unavailable Gabriel Tedesco (Inter). Allora inizia le chiamate alle U15 con vari raduni, ora in questo gruppo c'è un giocatore che aveva dell'interesse in Spagna e che un club spagnolo aveva tentato di portare in Spagna (prima dei 16 anni sono proibiti i trasferimenti di giocatori a meno che non si trasferisce tutta la famiglia come era successo a Andrea Natali) provate a indovinare chi sia
Allora avevo messo la lista dei convocati del primo Stage Nord e tra quelli c'era un giocatore che aveva una storia particolare in pratica a 14 anni era stato richiesto da un club spagnolo (mi sembra il Valencia) cosa particolare dato che i trasferimenti tra nazioni della UE sono impedite fino ai 16 anni A MENO CHE non si trasferisca tutta la famiglia (una cosa del genere è successa a Andrea Natali per esempio)e cos' era success solo che l'Atalanta (squadra di apparteneza del giocatore) è evidentemente riuscita a fare un offerta migliore e quel giocatore è................. Alex Alberto Magrin metto qualche articolo (quelli di instagram hanno anche qualche prodezza del giocatore) "So, I had posted the list of players called up for the first Northern Stage, and among them there was a player with a particular story. Basically, when he was 14, he was approached by a Spanish club (I think it was Valencia), which was unusual since transfers between EU countries are not allowed until the age of 16, UNLESS the whole family relocates. (Something similar happened with Andrea Natali, for example.) And that's exactly what happened — but Atalanta (the player’s club at the time) apparently managed to make a better offer, and that player is... Alex Alberto Magrin. I’ll post a few articles (some from Instagram also show a few highlights of the player’s skills)." https://www.sprintesport.it/naziona...ll-atalanta-andra-a-giocare-in-spagna-708673/ https://esportbase.valenciaplaza.co...anta-a-prueba-en-la-academia-del-valencia-cf/ https://www.instagram.com/p/DPngjZ1iK5_/?img_index=2
Thanks for all this info! Also that U14 tournament you saw, who was the player that impressed you the most?
C'è ne sono vari ma aspetto le altre convocazioni dell'u15 (devono fare lo stage Sud, lo stage Centro e lo stage Centro-Nord) cosi vedo di beccare altro materiale se possibile poi devo aggiungere qualche giocatore nato nel 2012 e uno nato nel 2013 There are several of them, but I'm waiting for the other U15 call-ups (they still have to do the South stage, the Central stage, and the Central-North stage), so I’ll see if I can get more material. Then I also need to add a few players born in 2012 and one born in 2013
After the test matches in Croatia in September — two wins and a draw: a 3-0 victory over South Korea in the season debut, a 1-0 win against the United Arab Emirates, and a 0-0 draw with the hosts — and the double friendly against Austria this month in Vienna — two defeats: 2-1 and 1-0 — the Under-18 National Team, semifinalist at the last Under-17 European Championship in Albania (where they only lost to Portugal on penalties, who went on to win the title), is ready to take on the World Cup, scheduled from November 3 to 27 in Qatar. Head coach Massimiliano Favo has called up 21 players: 19 born in 2008, including Milan goalkeeper Alessandro Longoni and Empoli forward Thomas Campaniello, both key figures in the historic European Championship win two years ago in Cyprus (Italy-Portugal 3-0, June 5, 2024), and two born in 2009: Roma striker Antonio Arena and Juventus winger Destiny Onoguekhan Elimoghale. The team will meet on Monday, October 27 in Novarello, where they will hold five training sessions over three days before departing for Doha on Thursday, October 30. Italy, placed in Group A, will make their debut on Monday, November 3 (6:45 p.m. local time / 4:45 p.m. Italian time, live on Rai Sport) at Field 7 of the Aspire Zone in Doha against hosts Qatar, followed by matches against Bolivia on Thursday, November 6 (3:30 p.m. local / 1:30 p.m. Italian time, live on Rai Sport) and South Africa on Sunday, November 9 (6:45 p.m. local / 4:45 p.m. Italian time, live on Rai Sport), at Fields 3 and 9 respectively. The top two teams from each of the twelve groups, along with the eight best third-placed teams, will advance to the Round of 32, scheduled for November 14 and 15. The Round of 16 and quarterfinals are set for November 18 and 21, respectively, while the semifinals will take place on November 24. The third-place match and final will be held on Thursday, November 27, at 3:30 p.m. on Field 7 and at 7:00 p.m. at the Khalifa International Stadium in the Aspire Zone in Doha. For the Azzurrini, this marks their seventh participation in the Under-18 World Cup (1991, 1993, 2005, 2009, 2013, 2019, and 2025), and their second consecutive appearance (2019 and 2025). Italy’s best result in the competition remains reaching the quarterfinals — in 2009 in Nigeria under coach Pasquale Salerno (Switzerland-Italy 2-1, November 8), and in 2019 in Brazil with Carmine Nunziata’s team (Italy-Brazil 0-2, November 12), who is currently the head coach of the Under-20 national team SQUAD LIST Goalkeepers: Francesco Cereser (Torino), Alessandro Longoni (Milan), Sebastiano Nava (Juventus) Defenders: Borasio Benit (Juventus), Leonardo Noah Bovio (Inter), Cristiano De Paoli (Como), Dauda Amihere Iddrisa (West Bromwich Albion), Jean-Tryfose Mambuku (Stade de Reims), David Marini (Cesena), Luca Reggiani (Borussia Dortmund) Midfielders: Alessio Baralla (Empoli), Andrea Luongo (Torino), Valerio Maccaroni (Roma), Fabio Pandolfi (Milan), Vincenzo Prisco (Napoli), Federico Steffanoni (Atalanta) Forwards: Antonio Arena (Roma), Thomas Campaniello (Empoli), Destiny Onoguekhan Elimoghale (Juventus), Samuele Inácio (Borussia Dortmund), Simone Lontani (Milan) Ok ci siamo ecco i convocati per il mondiale U17 manca Natali che ha fatto il mondiale U20 e manca Camarda che ormai è stabilmente in U21 la ns stella sarà Samulele Inacio che da alcune voci il Brasile ha provato a scipparci (senza successo direi) in giocatore da tenere d'occhio è Luongo del Torino che a Euro U17 mi aveva stupito in positivo occhio anche a Baralla, Longoni, Steffanoni e Campaniello e ai 2009 Arena e Elimoghale mi stupisce l'assenza di Blini dell'Empoli però la squadra è buona vedremo in che condizione di forma arriva
Second Stop for the Azzurrini: Enrico Battisti’s Call-Ups for the Southern Selection The top 44 players born in 2011, divided into two teams, will play an internal friendly match on Thursday, October 23 (2:45 p.m.) at the Federal Technical Center in Catanzaro. October 21, 2025 – 4:20 p.m. Following the Northern training camp held on October 16 in Novarello, the Under-15 National Team will return to the field for the second appointment of the season on Thursday, October 23 (2:45 p.m.) at the Federal Technical Center in Catanzaro, for the territorial selection of the South area. Head coach Enrico Battisti has called up 44 players, all born in 2011. Among them are two who participated in the most recent edition of the Under-14 National Tournament "Il calciatore dell’Evolution Programme", one of the flagship projects of the Youth and School Sector, which took place from May 9 to 11 at the Olympic Training Center in Tirrenia: Thomas Musollino, a Lecce defender who started out with the amateur club Academy Pasquale Foggia in Campania, and Enrico Martinelli, a Salernitana defender who came through the Campania-based amateur club Real Casarea. The Azzurrini's next stops will be Coverciano on October 30 for the Central-North selection, and Rome on November 6 for the Central selection. The Christmas Tournament is scheduled from November 21 to 23 in Novarello, while the UEFA Development Tournament, which will mark Italy's first official appearance of the season, will take place in England from December 14 to 20. SQUAD LIST Goalkeepers: Andrea Aruta (Benevento), Francesco Chiaracane (Palermo), Fernando Fulgione (Napoli), Francesco Sciammarella (Catanzaro) Defenders: Fabio Amabile (Napoli), Simone Cinturrino (Catanzaro), Luca De Prisco (Juve Stabia), Domenico De Spirito (Lecce), Marco Donatore (Bari), Mattia Ferrarese (Bari), Giuseppe Gentile (Bari), Filippo Giusto Liaci (Lecce), Paolo Lopreiato (Catanzaro), Enrico Martinelli (Salernitana), Giuliano Massa (Avellino), Thomas Musollino (Lecce), Pietro Rollo (Napoli), Francesco Sicuro (Lecce), Ugo Veneziani (Palermo), Giuseppe Vumbaca (Catanzaro) Midfielders: Mattia Castiglione (Palermo), Francesco De Caro (Palermo), Gabriele De Rosa (Avellino), Carmine Diffuso (Salernitana), Giuseppe Favale (Lecce), Andrea Perrone (Bari), Andrea Rocco (Napoli), Daniele Ronga (Benevento), Stefano Scerbo (Napoli), Giuseppe Domenico Strangio (Crotone), Pablo Antonio Tedesco (Avellino), Mattia Utro (Palermo) Forwards: Aleksander Bogdani (Palermo), Lorenzo Cipressa (Lecce), Luigi Fiumara (Avellino), Mario Grosso La Valle (Benevento), Giuseppe Guaglianone (Catanzaro), Giuseppe Imperiale (Napoli), Alessandro Malaspina (Catanzaro), Manuel Marra (Lecce), Giuseppe Pappolla (Bari), Daniele Sorce (Catanzaro), Damiano Pastoressa (Bari), Giuseppe Sepe (Juve Stabia) In questa selezione non conosco nessuno dei giocatori anche perchè di solito appena c'è un giocatore buono le squadre del nord ci si fiondano subito sopra, comunque la parte succulenta arriverà dallo stage Centro e dal Centro Nord
Oddio solo adesso mi sono accorto che manca Comotto.... sembra sia infortunato ed è un peccato perchè è una perdita pesante per il centrocampo
Same, it's basically the same team from the Euros this summer that lost to the champions in the semis to penalties. Comotto for some reason wasn't favored by the coach, instead he started Baralla, Luongo, and Steffanoni in the midfield.
non è cosi perchè Comotto era il titolare , ma all'europeo si infortunò alla prima partita contro la Rep. Ceca (come Borasio) e poi non fu più disponibile per il resto del torneo, purtroppo Comotto si è infortunato all'ultima amichevole in nazionale e ancora non ha recuperato (anche TF ha registrato questo) "It's not like that because Comotto was the starter, but at the European Championship he got injured in the first match against the Czech Republic (just like Borasio) and wasn't available for the rest of the tournament. Unfortunately, Comotto got injured in the last friendly with the national team and still hasn't recovered (TF also reported this)." https://www.transfermarkt.it/christian-comotto/profil/spieler/1058363 detto ciò e una buona squadra al netto di tutte le assenze dovute da promozioni(Camarda e Natali) e da scelte del CT (Blini, Busiello e qualc'un altro che il CT ha sempre ignorato) That said, it's still a good team, despite all the absences due to promotions (Camarda and Natali) and the coach's choices (Blini, Busiello, and a few others the coach has always overlooked).
Third seasonal meeting for the Under-15 National Team, which, after the Northern training camp in Novarello and the Southern one in Catanzaro, will return to the field tomorrow, Thursday, October 30 (2:45 p.m.), at the Federal Technical Center in Coverciano for the territorial selection of the Central-Northern area. Coach Enrico Battisti has called up 44 players, all born in 2011, including five boys who took part in the most recent edition of the Under-14 National Tournament “The Player of the Evolution Programme”, one of the flagship projects of the Youth and School Sector, held from May 9 to 11 at the Olympic Preparation Center in Tirrenia: midfielder Michele Iorio, who moved in the summer from the amateur club Real Casarea (Campania) to Sassuolo; forward Mattia D’Ambrosio, signed by Pisa from the Lombard amateurs Varesina Sport; and finally, defenders Christian D’Aiello, Pierre Edouard Touadi, and forward Gian Michael Portuondo, who left the Lazio amateur side Nuova Tor Tre Teste to join Genoa, Sassuolo, and Torino, respectively. The Azzurrini’s journey will continue with the Central training camp, scheduled for November 6 in Rome, while the Christmas Tournament will take place from November 21 to 23 in Novarello. Finally, the UEFA Development Tournament, the team’s first official competition, is set for December 14–20 in England. LIST OF CALLED-UP PLAYERS Goalkeepers: Alessandro Bogogna (Milan), Matteo Bondone (Genoa), Niccolò Fusi (Fiorentina), Tommaso Munarin (Venezia); Defenders: Lorenzo Allara (Juventus), Matthew Appiah Boateng (Parma), Davide Atzeni (Empoli), Luca Bianchi (Cremonese), Cristian Bondi (Parma), Giulio Cacucciolo (Torino), Filippo Cuomo (Bologna), Christian D’Aiello (Genoa), Mirko Danza (Atalanta), Leopoldo Febbraro (Fiorentina), Mattia Ghio (Sampdoria), Andrea Lensi (Pisa), Saverio Angelo Mesecorto (Sassuolo), Mattia Pinazzi (Parma), Matteo Salisci (Virtus Entella), Pierre Edouard Touadi (Sassuolo); Midfielders: Mario Attrice (Parma), Giovanni Bola (Spezia), Pietro Colombi (Sampdoria), Deni Duka (Juventus), Michele Iorio (Sassuolo), Gianmarco Menicagli (Empoli), Stefano Montalbano (Atalanta), Abdel Salam Musah (Fiorentina), Gabriel Tedesco (Inter), Davide Tilli (Genoa), Marco Vaccarella (Juventus), Diego Vazzola (Parma); Forwards: Angelo Carpita (Fiorentina), Omar Cristiano (Empoli), Mattia D’Ambrosio (Pisa), Armando Floro Flores (Fiorentina), Leonard Maria Lima Ramalho (Bologna), Andrea Lubrano Lavadera (Cremonese), Matteo Potito Mignemi (Fiorentina), Achille Momola (Venezia), Gian Michael Portuondo (Torino), Daan Ravera (Virtus Entella), Leonardo Rossini (Milan), Lorenzo Vitali (Parma). Bene di questo gruppo oltre a Leonardo Rossini del Milan è da TENERE D'OCCHIO.......Armando Floro Flores (Fiorentina) ragazzo con un Dribbling NOTEVOLISSIMO(tra l'altro è figlio di Antonio Floro Flores e forse a qualcuno questo nome dice qualcosa) Among this group, besides Leonardo Rossini from Milan, one to KEEP AN EYE ON is Armando Floro Flores (Fiorentina) — a boy with some exceptional dribbling skills. (By the way, he’s the son of Antonio Floro Flores, and that name might ring a bell for some ). https://www.instagram.com/p/DHDn3PWNa_E/?img_index=2 https://www.instagram.com/p/DOWjDDuDG-d/?img_index=1 Detto questo mancano due giocatori di cui uno SONO sicuro che ci sarà nel raduno centro l'altro non so dopo vi sparo 2 nati nel 2012 e UN 2013 That said, two players are missing — one of whom I’m SURE will be at the Central training camp, while I’m not sure about the other. Later I’ll mention two players born in 2012 and one born in 2013.
Si iniziare con una vittoria è bello, però la squadra non ha giocato al meglio delle propie possibilità soprattutto perchè si è interstadita a tentare di entrare in porta con la palla ai piedi e contro squadre che giocano chiuse non è sempre cos' facile a volte tirare da fuori non è reato, vediamo domani contro la Bolivia e forse sarebbe meglio che Favo la prossima volta schieri uno tra Campaniello e Arena in grado di prendere i cross, detto ciò sempre forza azzurri Starting with a win is nice, but the team didn’t play to the best of its abilities, especially because it got stubborn trying to walk the ball into the goal. Against teams that play defensively, it’s not always that easy. Sometimes, shooting from outside the box isn’t a crime. Let’s see tomorrow against Bolivia, and maybe it would be better if Favo next time chooses either Campaniello or Arena, who are both capable of dealing with crosses. That said, always forza azzurri!
After the North, South, and Central-North training camps – which took place respectively on October 16 in Novarello, October 23 in Catanzaro, and October 30 in Coverciano – the Under 15 National Team will be back on the field tomorrow, Thursday, November 6 (2:45 PM), at the Olympic Preparation Center Acqua Acetosa ‘Giulio Onesti’ in Rome, for the territorial selection of the Central area. Coach Enrico Battisti has called up 44 players, all born in 2011, including Francesco Racaniello, a defender who moved this summer from the amateur team Wonderful Bari S. Spirito to Pescara. Racaniello also participated in the last edition of the Under 14 National Tournament ‘Il calciatore dell’Evolution Programme’, one of the flagship projects of the Youth and Scholastic Sector, which took place from May 9 to 11 at the Olympic Preparation Center in Tirrenia. The Under 15 coaching staff will also include Antonio Candreva, former midfielder of Juventus, Inter, and Lazio – with 677 career appearances and 99 goals – who earned 54 caps and scored 7 goals for the National Team, winning third place at the 2013 Confederations Cup in Brazil. Born in Rome on February 28, 1987, Candreva recently obtained his UEFA B coaching certification and will serve as an assistant coach to Enrico Battisti, alongside Bruno Redolfi. “I’m honored to be part of Club Italia,” Candreva said. “Having the opportunity to begin my journey as a collaborator for a youth National Team, after obtaining my UEFA B qualification, is a privilege. I’m convinced I can learn a lot, and I look forward to serving the blue jersey. I thank the FIGC for their trust and for giving me this opportunity.” The Azzurrini's journey will continue with the Christmas Tournament, scheduled from November 21 to 23 in Novarello, while the UEFA Development Tournament, which represents Italy's first official outing, will take place from September 14 to 20 in England. LIST OF CALLED-UP PLAYERS Goalkeepers: Matteo Bedori (Lazio), Thomas Carletto (Hellas Verona), Mattia Fontanarosa (Roma), Enea Puccioni (Empoli); Defenders: Alessandro Boveri (Lazio), Federico Casali (Lazio), Niccolò Chieffallo (Roma), Davide De Vivo (Roma), Alessandro Di Palma (Napoli), Edoardo Ghisu (Cagliari), Alessandro Guidotti (Cesena), Andrea Iacomino (Lazio), Domenico Lanata (Stuttgart), Simone Manzi (Roma), Daniele Mastrogiovanni (Frosinone), Mattia Mirabella (Roma), Elia Pistone (Fiorentina), Benito Pivotto (Bologna), Francesco Racaniello (Pescara), Marco Rivieri (Empoli); Midfielders: Antonio Amico (Bologna), Francesco Buondonno (Napoli), Nathan Cola (Cesena), Francesco Fanucchi (Empoli), Daniele Geraci (Stuttgart), Mattia Ianniello (Pescara), Emiliano Interlandi (Lazio), Luca Lazzeri (Fiorentina), Mattia Pica (Roma), Cristian Pinna (Cagliari), Samuel Prendi (Atalanta), Diego Succi (Cesena); Forwards: Pietro Bacchi (Lazio), Gian Maria Boga (Cesena), Samuel Valence Caputo (Lazio), Giovanni Cretara (Frosinone), Francesco Fattoruso (Napoli), Mattia Murru (Cagliari), Gabriel Andrea Masullo (Bologna), Luca Muzzi Moraes (Benfica), Nicolas Pellegrino (Lazio), Daniel Pomposo (Pescara), Mattia Salvarani (Roma), Alessandro Vicchi (Cesena). Eccoci all' ultimo raduno e accanto a nomi esotici di Domenico Lanata e Daniele Geraci (Stuttgart) e di Luca Muzzi Moraes (Benfica, che dovrebbe essere figlio Artur Moraes portiere che ha giocato anche in italia nella Roma) il nome che spicca di più è QUELLO di MATTEO PICA che forse è uno dei migliori 2011 tanto è vero che già a 14 anni il Barcellona aveva tentato di portarlo nella sua Cantera, ma dato che ha quell'età il trasferimento può avvenire soltanto se si trasferisce tutta la famiglia allora è rimasto in italia ed è finito nelle giovanili della Roma https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_jsAQJg3Z-0 https://www.instagram.com/p/DEflm4mtpei/?img_index=6 https://www.instagram.com/p/DG3f_B9NEi1/?img_index=2 in queste selezioni non è stato convocato Gaetano Storto 2011 dell'Inter metto qualche video https://www.instagram.com/p/DG3f_B9NEi1/?img_index=2 e come promesso parlo anche di tre 2012 che mi hanno colpito tantissimo all'ultimo Memorial Paolo Rossi (vinto in finale dal Real Madrid sul Milan) iniziamo da: Ryan Reguig 2012 Roma https://www.instagram.com/p/C9QCWjdNL59/?img_index=1 Odifax di Pede 2012 Juventus (va detto che adesso HA un VANTAGGIO FISICO notevole vedremo tra qualche anno) https://www.instagram.com/lagiovaneitalia/reel/DOREclQiDtU/ https://www.tiktok.com/@tuttocampo.it/video/7548485937454419222 Andrea Kostyuk https://www.instagram.com/p/DPtV9VsDKAX/?img_index=4 https://www.tiktok.com/@ilbellodelcalcio__/video/7363683488333286688 ED ORA due 2013 che hanno giocato SOTT'ETA' e che mi hanno IMPRESSIONATO TANTISSIMO ecco a voi Lamine Ba della Juventus https://www.instagram.com/p/DMP2RQbtSqo/?img_index=1 e SOPRATTUTTO MATTEO BERNASCONI del MILAN https://www.instagram.com/p/DM7dPXcuEL_/?img_index=1 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOTAFUliDf4/ E con questo è tutto a fine novembre ci sarà il torneo di Natale degli U15 e poi a dicembre ci sarà un torneo UEFA di sviluppo in Inghilterra (speriamo che trasmettano le partite da qualche parte)
