Yes I thought the same as players develop more at a higher level.
But there’s more, knowing our U23 team we would probably fight for relegation in Serie B, not creating much and conceding a lot. Moral would be very low especially because it are a bunch of kids with 3 veterans guiding them.
There’s a big difference between the Primavera competition and Serie C, mostly the physicality is different, games are more nasty and all those U23 kids suddenly face older guys who already have a professional career for years.
I think that youth football isn’t as performance based as we think it is. You really want to find the right environment where players can develop in a nice way. Guys like Correia and Ranocchia probably had a nightmare season if we were in Serie B this year. And Zauli would never think of using U19 kids like Tongya and Miretti if he had the fear of losing his job
Don’t get me wrong it would be cool to see the U23 in Serie B, but I don’t think it should be our priority and I believe we would struggle a lot
If we have to change one thing the board should talk with the Lega to change the rules, as things are right now U23 players are forbidden to play for the U23 after 5 senior games and that’s not much.

The kid has been hyped for at least 2 years now. Yesterday's cameo is good for Pirlo and for the team - with 3 healthy CMs, you need to give him more chances and he can only benefit from that. He looks like a perfect match to what we've been missing - good movement, head is always up and sees a lot, good timing with his passes. He can get out of pressure nicely and actually plays the ball forward.
The kid is a solution for Pirlo, not a problem. If he can field Frabotta vs inda in an away game, he can use Fagioli to rotate CMs, who carry some knocks or are simply tired anyway.

Played vs spal b in coppa, then came on as sub vs a relegation team. Next, needs to come on as sub vs other teams, then start vs a relegation contender, etc. If he passes all of the above, only then can he start vs a verona. Already better than benta lol.
I thought runners up from the 3 serie c divisions have a playoff for the 4th promotion spot. Or is that outdated?
