Zappa and Zanandrea will never reach top Serie A clubs, I am happy for them they found a club were they can become a starter.
Who the fuck are Gerbi and Stoppa? > Plusvalenza baby

Sad for Olivieri :( In my mind Kastanos is here for ages but he is still only 22 lol.

Frenchy Naouirou Ahamada got promoted to the u23 side. Just 18. Had some hype around him when he signed, I remember he chose Juve over PSG and Chelsea.
He did good last year at U19. Was expecting him to go to the U23 tbh. I’m wondering if Ahamada - Fagioli - Ranocchia will be the midfield this year.

Tomorrow the first match.

what’s your scouting report on ahamada? I’ve literally never seen him play
I said this a few months ago in Primavera thread:

Ive tried to follow the U19 as much as possible. Missed some bad games at the start of the season, but afterwards they’ve been doing fine imo. Sometimes it’s a bit hard to follow as some players go back and forward to U23 (I don’t have enough free time to follow the U23 matches aswell) and I think that in general there are a lot of players available so often you’ll notice some changes in the line-up. Usually we start in a 4-3-1-2 or a 4-3-3 formation.

I think it’s a mature group, tactically we are pretty smart and strong and I didn’t notice a lot of positional mistakes. We lack a bit in terms of creativity.

I strongly agree on Fagioli. For some time I’ve been hoping to see him starting on the bench when the Juventus Facebook account posts the players available for the next match. Allegri was a fan of him, google it up and you’ll find some articles about Allegri talking about Fagioli. As far as I know he started as a attacker at younger age, after became a trequartista and this season they’ve been trying him out as a regista. He is very good on the ball, has nice passing skills and is good under pressure. Scored some nice goals aswell. Saw some matches where he couldn’t maintain a high level for 90 minutes, perhaps this is why we didn’t see him in the first squad yet.

Ranocchia and Ahamada are two players I like to mention. Both DM/B2B kinda players, I think they have a lot of potential.

Moreno I think is a bit hyped. If he didn’t came from Barcelona a lot of Juventini probably didn’t talked about him. He has to grow a lot before reaching the Serie A. Tongya usually plays as trequartista behind Moreno, perhaps he’ll do better as a 10.

Dragusin is very strong, Gozzi feels a bit stressed on the ball. Not so good under pressure yet.

Generally speaking about our youth systems I think we are doing a fine job.
So probably all of them will play at U23 this year I guess. Even though Ahamada and Dragusin are 18.

so far, it's complete domination in the 2nd half, huge difference in quality. let's hope the scoreline will reflect it soon

Pro Sesto are just promoted so will probably be one of the weaker teams to face but I did enjoy some of the stuff we played. Saw about 25 mins of each half.

Should have won by more really.

Observations

Dragusin is a physical freak, not only his size, but the way he moves. He’s also much better on the ball than I would’ve figured. Was playing the Danilo role today and pinging passes all over the field. Wasn’t really tested defensively but didn’t give up anything. You could throw him into Serie A right now and physically he wouldn’t look out of place. Can’t believe he’s only 18.

The goal they scored was 100% a goalie brain fart.

Felix Correia is a real talent. Had an assist and a goal.

I thought Hamza Rafia was the best player on the field

Peeters was underwhelming. He wasn’t bad, but nothing special. A classic DM with robotic like movements.
