[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Over the past two weeks, the beautiful city of Viareggio has played host to the world’s biggest youth football tournament. The Coppa Carnevale, so called due to the fact that it is fought for during the city’s carnival season, has once again provided some unforgettable moments.
Renowned for unearthing some of the games most famous stars, the 62nd edition of this football extravaganza may have given fans of calcio an early view of some outstanding talents.
A total of 48 teams from 18 different countries took part with 29 of these coming from the peninsula. Juventus were strongly fancied to retain their title and they eased through to the knock-out phase thanks to the sublime talents of striker Ciro Immobile, who knocked in a brace on the opening day against Legia Warsaw from Poland.
Both Milan clubs safely negotiated their way into the last 16 as did Napoli, Palermo, Torino and Genoa.
Roma qualified as one of the four best runners up, with their young starlet Stefano Pettinari inspirational for the Giallorossi as they beat Cisco Roma 4-1 in their final group game to sneak into the knock-out phase. However, Pettinari’s second yellow card received in that game and his subsequent suspension would prove costly.
The biggest surprise of the last 16 was that of a Serie D representative side. Made entirely of amateur players from Italy’s fifth tier, they defied all logic by qualifying for the latter stages. The only overseas team to make it into the knock-out phase were Club Nacional from Uruguay.
The round of the last 16 signalled the end of the road for Roma, both Milan giants and Genoa, who succumbed to the Serie D boys. Juventus powered on, as did Fiorentina, Empoli Palermo, Atalanta, Torino and Sassuolo.
Immobile then propelled Juve into the last four, a brilliant free-kick from Atalanta’s Manolo Gabbiadini broke Palermo hearts, the amateurs beat Torino on penalties and Empoli edged out their Tuscan neighbours Fiorentina to complete the semi-final quartet.
Juventus beat Atalanta 2-0 in the first semi-final, an Immobile penalty finally breaking the Nerazzurri’s stubborn resistance and Empoli ended the amateurs’ dream after a tense penalty shoot-out.
The Final belonged to one man, Immobile, whose hat-trick helped his team to a 4-2 victory and their fifth Coppa Carnevale in eight years. He also collected the Golden Boy award for Player of the Tournament.
The talent scouts will now return to their respective clubs to give valuable feedback on what they have witnessed over the past 14 days. Viareggio has once again provided a signpost to the future. [/FONT]

To all the Swedes in here I just found a funny and relaxed interview with our new boy Carlos Garcia where he talks about life in the Primavera and that he wants to win the Champions League in 2012 on our new stadium.
