Cancelled a couple of days ago, all youth football. AFAIK they didn't give any final positions.
Juve U23 (Lega Pro) also cancelled, gone straight to final positions and play-offs to be played.
The Primavera started terribly this season but they went on a run of 9-5-2 before the season was suspended, including a win against Atalanta and draws with Cagliari and Inter. Finishing behind Atalanta, Cagliari and Inter is no shame because they always have very strong youth teams, but the team was coming together nicely. They finished 4th.
Moreover, Juve comfortably won their UEFA Youth League group (Atlético, Leverkusen, Lokomotiv) and were facing Real Madrid in the RO16 - this has been delayed until August, same as senior UEFA competitions.
Also, the U17 team were absolutely DESTROYING their division before the shutdown:
They won all but one game, a draw with Parma. +56 GD is all that needs to be said.
I was speaking with
@U Picciriddu about this the other day - there are a few
potentially special players in that group;
Fabio Miretti - new Italian golden boy, plays AM but gets likened to Marchisio, even though he scores a lot more
Ervin Omic - we've mentioned him before, Austrian CM/AM. impressed when he played but picked up some injuries
Angel Chibozo - Beninese inverted left winger, explosive and strong on the ball, unplayable in open field, a bit rough but exciting
Matias Soulé - personally haven't seen much but another 'next Messi', inverted RW, reminds me more of Robin van Persie
Hard to pick out an individual defender as they all look strong as a unit. The fullbacks do well, especially Turicchia, who is more of an attacking threat.
The giant Leonardo Cerri (almost 2 metres tall) more often starts as the CF. Physicality also makes a big difference at this level, that's for sure. He scores quite a few goals. And his alternative, Andrea Bonetti, who some people like more.
Valentino Salducco is the captain and definitely the maturity in midfield, nice left foot and technique, very modern midfielder who could play mezzala or trequartista with no problems.
Senkò
Mulazzi - Giorcelli - Fiumanò - Turicchia
Salducco (c) - Omic
Soulé - Miretti - Chibozo
Cerri
This would be the strongest team on paper.
It's the best U17 team I've seen, at least for Juve. But it's all relative, as at U17 level and below heads drop easily and players can enjoy some dominant performances. We'll see how well this team does when they play at Primavera level.
Of the current Primavera players, I'd still go for Fagioli ahead of all the others, I have hopes for him and I believe the club do too. There are a few 8/10 players for this level who I like (Gozzi, Tongya, Ranocchia and others), but I'm not willing to say they can be established Serie A players. As we all know, even if they do it will probably be for other teams. If we could have 3 players in the first team from the 2001 - 2003 category it would be an amazing achievement, that's the reality at top clubs.
