"In Italy there are many young people and they have the possibility and opportunity to play. In Under 21 many of us already play in A or B, we have presences both as owners and as substitutes. In my opinion it is a speech that has been made, perhaps if he talks too much but space is given to young people and it is up to us to prove our worth ".
So the Atalanta player Giorgio Scalvini, among the squads of the Under 21 national team, at a press conference in Castel di Sandro (L'Aquila).
The not yet 19-year-old from Brescia, who has already been called by the Italy coach, Roberto Mancini, is ready for the next two friendlies of the azzurrini, next Thursday in Pescara against England and on Monday 26 in Castel di Sangro with Japan, saying that he is available to play both in defense and in midfield, "according to the needs of the coach".
"I feel good in both positions, where he wants to put me I do my best - said Scalvini -. I feel more like a defender, I have been doing it for longer, but if there is a need to play in midfield I can do it. In Senior national team, the coach made me debut in midfield, and it went well. "
