From Bellanova to Zanoli, blue perspectives

 Big babies to whom?

The nouvelle vague of Italian football, the one recruited by Mancini by scoring all the Italian series, overturns some stereotypes about the new generations unable to take risks and commit, eternally on the shoulders of parents and grandparents.

The emblem can be Fabrizio

who made his debut yesterday with the English without a minute in Serie A, who worked as a bricklayer to help the house and at night at the general markets.

But in reality many young footballers seem more mature than previous generations: for example, they have learned the importance of gaining experiences abroad, a sort of Erasmus of the ball, even going into disarray from strangers.

Forerunner was a 16 / year old

in the Netherlands,

(outside Almelo) and

(Inter median of Volendam).

In Switzerland now the tightrope walker

, protagonist with Germany, there were the Inter fans

and

(brother of Salvatore).

In Ligue1 he is at Monaco

(when he is not around for loans), the promising Cagliari

played there .

Landing in Portugal and Austria for Italians of Ghanaian origin such as the striker

or of Ivorian origin such as the midfielder

.

The national team can benefit from this new mentality.

After the second world shock in a row, less than a year after the European triumph, Mancini quickly turns the page by recruiting the best Italian youth, and the Nations League is launching some positive signals.

To the hard core of

is added a handful of already tested elements that will have more space (from Scamacca to

from

to

from

to

).

Then there is the sowing of an extended internship that led to the debut of eight young people such as Gnonto,

,

,

,

, Gatti and

.

It seems to relive the ferment of the times of the hundred squads of Fulvio Bernardini, who paved the way for the 1982 World Cup, or that of the multiple stages of Arrigo Sacchi, who lost the world title only on penalties in 1994. To invest in young are the big names, but atalanta has always been at the forefront to reap great profits in recent years.

He has around a team of very promising young people, in line with his history: the goalkeeper

the defenders

and

the external

and

, the finishers

and

the attacker

.

The work of Juve is also excellent (in addition to Gatti the midfielders

and

) and of Milan (the goalkeeper

, the defender GABBIA

the midfielders Pobega, the finisher

the striker

).

It is too early to say whether all this will lead to concrete results by correcting the short-sightedness of those clubs which, unlike those of avant-garde countries, never focus on young people.

But the road has been undertaken.

This is an overview of the most interesting prospects of Italian football, role by role.
