In the last round of Serie A, Juventus defeated Bari at home, and the Torino Olimpico Stadium witnessed the Serie A debut of 19-year-old forward Gianetti. Yesterday, he, along with two other post-90s players from Juventus' first team, Camilleri and Giandonato, made it into Ferrara's newly formed Italian national youth team. The Turin Sports Daily also analyzed their prospects today.
Camilleri, who plays as a center-back, has not yet appeared in this season's Serie A, but his potential indicates an unlimited future. After all, the condition of veteran Lerrota has rapidly declined. Giorgio Chiellini, the Juventus defense leader, is his idol, but he admits that his characteristics are more like Bonucci's. Another Juventus midfield rookie, Giandonato, has appeared in both Serie A and Europa League matches this season. This time, he was not wearing the blue jersey of the national youth team for the first time like his other two club teammates. Last November, during the match against the Turkish youth national team, he had already made an appearance. He said that he always closely watched Aquilani in the Juventus lineup. This former Roma midfielder gave him great inspiration, but his real idol is the Argentine Redondo.
When talking about the last round of the league, Gianetti first admitted that his performance was not very good, but being able to play alongside legendary captain Del Piero made him very excited. "Before the game started, I asked Del Neri what I should do, and he told me my main task on the field was to create more movement space for Del Piero. When I first came on, I was extremely happy, thinking that as a young player, I could actually appear in such an important game. Del Piero is absolutely a champion player, and his ball control, positioning, and shooting on the field are our models. Even during regular training, he is always striving for the best performance," Gianetti said. Currently, the ownership of this young striker still belongs to Siena, known as Juventus' second team. Due to the successive injuries to Juventus' forwards this season, Marotta recruited him through a loan. Whether Gianetti can continue to stay in Juventus after this season depends on his upcoming performance.
In the past decade, due to factors such as the decline in youth training talent and excessive pursuit of short-term achievements, few young people in Juventus have been able to ultimately establish themselves in the first team. Now, these three young talents across the three lines may inject vitality into the Old Lady.
