Do they teach Italian youngsters to play like that? I mean, after the mockery the U20 squad made out of last year's World Cup by losing to Syria and getting qualified in the most ridiculous of ways, this team seems to wait till the last minute to finally score.

Yeah, he impressed me as well. With Zalayeta leaving he's ideal for the backup striker place (or to play if we get sent to Serie B).

Plus we will finally have a left footed player again :D

Chiellini goal fuels Italian belief



Fittingly for a player who has performed so impressively for ACF Fiorentina and Juventus in recent seasons, Giorgio Chiellini was the man to step forward when Italy were looking for inspiration against Ukraine. With their second Group B match going the same way as the first, a draw with Denmark, the left-back headed in Cesare Bovo's cross to fire the Azzurrini to a 1-0 victory and the Group B summit.

'Lucky'
"We were a bit lucky against Ukraine as a draw would perhaps have been a fair result - but this is our prize for not giving up," said Chiellini, who played 17 times as Juve won Serie A this season. "Ukraine are a good team who run all day. They played for a draw and didn't leave us any room to get in behind them. But in the end we can say we deserved the win because we created so many chances."

'Amazing goal'
Alessandro Rosina had passed by a hat-trick of such openings and Pasquale Foggia and Michele Canini other decent chances before Chiellini's late intervention. "It was possibly the most important goal of my career," said Chiellini. "I scored one two seasons ago against Juve for Fiorentina which was pretty important at the time but this one was amazing - not only because it arrived in injury time but because it can give us a push to go on and win the tournament."

Past glory
Chiellini knows all about tasting glory in the blue of his country after winning the 2003 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. At the time he was playing for his hometown club, AS Livorno Calcio, where his combative displays earned him a four-year contract at Juve, who immediately sold half of his playing licence to Fiorentina. Chielli wasted little time in making his mark with the Viola, prompting Juve to pay €4.3m to sign him outright 12 months ago.

Confident Chiellini
Seen as the natural heir to the excellent Gianluca Zambrotta for both club and country - he already has five senior caps - Chiellini is looking no further than 5 June when he will hope to be turning out in the final of these finals at the Estádio do Bessa Século XXI in Porto. Can Italy win it? "We certainly have the quality to do so," he said. "We've proved in our two matches that we never give up. With that type of spirit anything is possible."

We do have a lot of talent. Just wonder what happens to them all...
we have pericard, guzman, sculli, miccoli, blasi, maresca, mateo brighi, marco brighi, alex pederzoli, gasbarroni, frara.
we will have a great team
I know thread is very old but

Sculli,Matteo and Marco Brighi,Pederzoli,Pericard,Guzman,Blasi,Gasbarroni,Frara were known as future of Juventus and Azzurri.

none of them could make it.

Now,we have Giovinco,Marchisio,De Ceglie,Nocerino,Palladino,Criscito.

I am confident about them.I am sure they will not disappear like others.

what has changed about our youngster policy in 5 years?

should we thanks to Farsopoli for these youngsters?

what you think please discuss

I think it is due to the scandal and also due to a difference in board members because they have been less free spending and had restricted funds. Deschamps did a great job in bringing them into football last season with Giovinco making good appearences and Palladino just schooling opposition. Im really glad that we have players we can call our own product though, instead of being another team who buys when mature. I want these players to be ours next season and to slowly get into the first team but every time I remember about our past dealings with youths, it scares me into thinking we will do the same with our current batch.

With or without the scandal, these players would have shone for us/the team they are loaned out to.
