Beh come pararigori è OTTIMO, le mie critiche le ho sempre fatte sulla gestione del pallone tra i piedi, che per carità io sono uno di quelli che dice che il portiere deve saper parare però non deve regalare il pallone agli avversari.
The road to Wales passes through Tirrenia. From June 7 to 12, the Under-19 National Team will gather at the Olympic Preparation Center in the province of Pisa.

Ok inizia lo stage di preparazione per Euro U19 (quest 'anno vale come qualficazione alla coppa del Mondo U20 del 2027) mancano ovviamente Camarda, Samuele Inacio e Ahanor per ovvi motivi (però potrebbero rientrare tra i convocati finale Chissà....)ma anche senza loro la SQUADRA E' INTERESSANTE con giocatori come Liberali, Comotto, Cacciamani, Natali ecc... beh vedremo quando faranno le convocazioni finali
Camarda, Inacio, Ahanor, Reggiani, Cama, and Di Nunzio should all be there. They need to get the best team possible out there! This is what I was talking about.
Di Nunzio, Cama potrebbero esserci , gli altri dipenderà dai loro club (e li la vedo dura, ma non impossibile)
Just read this.... Following Christian Lupo's masterclass performance against Spain in the U17 European Championship semi-final, no concrete, official transfer bids from external clubs have been made public yet.
Madonna mia, già vuoi le voci di mercato per un 17enne ? aspetta tanto il tempo c'è e poi è meglio che il ragazzo stia senza pensieri che domenica c'è la FINALE
Infatti, se avessimo pensato ai giovani dodici anni fa, non ci saremmo persi tre mondiali di fila. Bisogna pensare alla gioventù di oggi perché presto saranno il nostro domani. Largo Ai Giovani, Sempre!
Pio, Palestra, and Pisilli need to be on this team too. They've won a few U17s and an U19 in recent times but havent gotten to the U21 semis in a while, now is the time to play our best U21 players and really go all out for it.

Love it Intresting enough i logged on to write that Gianluca Okon (given name: Gianluca Tommaso Okon-Engstler) is eligible to play for both Italy and Australia and has repped Australia in the past. So we have another dual-national situation on our hands. He's not in the top tier of 17 YO's but this tournament and him making the tournament team could go a long way. Club Brugge 2nd team recently extended his contract so they see something in him. A tall lanky Defensive Mid with some playmaker abalility can suit Italy well.

Knowing how lax or bad we can be handling dual eligible players, let's hope we lock up the ones who deserve it.
what a name! we had no defenders for so long it was concerning and then we only had Bastoni who was babysat by the Inter system and then suddenly now there are all these teenage defenders emerging. It is a great thing to see. is he the next Leoni for Parma?
