<p>Another important ‘lesson’ for the lads of Juventus Youth Sector: following yesterday’s meeting with Emanuele Giaccherini, today Stephan Lichsteiner was the special ‘teacher’ for Formazione Juventus, the educational path for the Bianconeri youngsters.</p>
<p>*</p>
<p>The Swiss defender met the Allievi Nazionali and, like Giaccherini did yesterday, he spoke about his first steps in the football world, about the hard work and determination required to shoot to fame, but also about the importance of considering and understanding one’s own mistakes: “I started playing football very soon, when I was four years old – told Stephan - *and I was fortunate because my first coach was my father. However, I left my parents and my house when I was 14, and I moved to Zurich. That experience was fundamental for my development, because I was alone, without my family and without my friends. However, the fact of being far from my affections wasn’t a real weight, because I wanted to play and get as high as possible.”</p>
<p>*</p>
<p>And actually, when he turned 19 years old, he became a professional footballer and clinched the title at Grassopher: “Up to 19, I was quite busy because I trained, studied and worked in a bank as well. Then football became my job and the title was a great success, but it wasn’t enough for me. I dreamt of playing in more important championships and my dream came true at last.” This achievement occurred with several sacrifices and a lot of hard work both on technique and character: “Today, I’m a bit tense on the pitch - explained Stephan to the lads - Sometimes, I protest too much and lack in self-control. However, I can assure that once I was even worse. This has always been my nature. I usually tell what I think in the others’ face, and this behaviour caused some problems. I also made several mistakes, and now I know that being capable of stopping is a fundamental aspect, like thinking over the errors in order to apologise and try not to repeat them again.”</p>
