^^ for real...especially the signings of Sissoko and Cigarini...those will really impact the growth of our other MFs like De Ceglie Nocerino and Marchisio...Giovinco unlike the other 3 has really thrust himself into the limelight, so I think Juve are quit aware of his abilities and looks like he is here to stay, if not as a starter but as a key attafcking option off the bench...i just want them to show that same belief for De Ceglie Marchisio and Nocerino...

Giovinco is and must be untouchable because he's the greatest talent in Europe.

As for our other youngsters, we mustn't be so possessive and i don't think they should have an advantage over some other youngsters, especially Italian youngsters, only because they play with us.

Why should Nocerino have an advantage over Cigarini ? Nocerino is an Italian who joined Juve at 22. Cigarini is also an Italian who's only 21.
If Cigarini is better than Nocerino then why shouldn't he take his place ?
Cigarini is young enough to grow up and become our legend one day.
Del Piero didn't grow up through Juve youth teams, we bought him from Padova. We bought 22 years old Zambrotta from Bari.
If we didn't buy these youngsters (DP and Zambro) and we gave chance to Juve grown youngsters, we would have lost a lot, right ?

The only way for Nocerino and Marchisio to have an advantage over Cigarini is if they are better midfielders than him.
The question is are they better than him ?
If they are then it's stupid to get rid of them and buy the Parma guy. If they aren't then i'm all for replacing them with him.

please be reminded that most of the clips were against under 21 oppositions faroes,azerbaijan,greece and albania

And huge part of the clips were against the French u21, Roma, Juventus.
Other players play against these u-21 teams but none of them owned the defenders the way Giovinco did.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

plus it's not only what he does against the defenders that's impressive. it's his first touch, his vision and his passing, his strength for his size is great too.

New Interview :

iovinco «Sì, sogno la mia Juve»
Dall’inviato Antonio Maglie per il corriere dello sport
EMPOLI - Piccoli Fenomeni Cresco*no. Da Messi a Pato passando per Se*bastian Giovinco, ventuno anni il prossimo ventisei gennaio. La con*ferma che le porte del paradiso del calcio a volte possono essere rag*giunte attraverso percorsi più tor*tuosi, ma non per questo meno pro*duttivi. Sarà l’aria, saranno le viti e gli ulivi che circondano il nuovo Cen*tro Sportivo, l’Abetone innevato stampato come in una cartolina sul fondo di un cielo terso, sarà l’espe*rienza di una piccola società che ha fatto crescere e nascere numerosi ot*timi calciatori ( molti dei quali appro*dati in Nazionale), saranno altre mo*tivazioni che sfuggono a noi umani, ma se c’è un posto in cui questo ra*gazzo sottile e sorridente può far sbocciare il suo talento, quel posto non può che essere Empoli.
« Gente che salta l’uomo nel calcio italiano ve ne è poca. Per le caretta*ristiche, può essere accostato a Zo*la » , dice Pino Vitale, il direttore ge*nerale che lo ha portato in Toscana grazie all’affare- Almiron. Ora il dg ha una speranza: « La conquista del posto in Champions potrebbe indurre la Juve a puntare su campioni col*laudati. E a quel punto potrebbero anche decidere di lasciarcelo per un altro anno » .

Nel frattempo, Sebastian « studia » perché il futuro non può attendere.
Il talento si confessa «Voglio una grande e poi le Olimpiadi»


Se per via dell’età e del talento la definiscono il Messi italia*no, lei come risponde? «Rispondo che io sono Giovinco e non mi paragono a nessu*no. E poi sono più centrocampista che attaccante tanto è ve*ro che non faccio molti gol».

Ma non lo invidia un po’ l’argentino? Lui è diventato tito*lare nella Liga giocando nel Barcellona lei, invece, dalla Ju*ve è stato dirottato a Empoli.
«Evidentemente era questo il mio percorso di vita e que*sto sorta di scalata è funzionale alla mia carriera di calciato*re professionista».

Per i giovani talenti in Italia è più dura...
«Sì, in Italia le difficoltà sono maggiori. Però mi sembra che negli ultimi tempi siano aumentate gli spazi per i giova*ni calciatori, siano aumentate le chances. Se un giovane ha talento, bisogna mandarlo in campo. All’estero forse hanno un po’ più di coraggio».

E lei è contento dell’opportunità che le ha offerto Empoli?
«L’Empoli ti aiuta a crescere. In poco tempo mi sono ritro*vato dalla Primavera alla serie A e qui un ragazzo della mia età viene aiutato».

Il problema più grave che ha dovuto risolvere passando dal calcio dei ragazzi, la Primavera, a quello degli adulti?
«Il ritmo: in serie A è tuta un’altra storia».

E le limitate potenzialità fisiche?
«No, quelle non sono state un problema perché col tempo ho imparato a sfruttare al massimo altre qualità».

L’aiuta il fatto che negli ultimi tempi il calcio dei funam*boli è stato riscoperto a svantaggio del calcio dei culturisti?
«In effetti, la qualità tecnica sembra essere stata rivaluta*ta: un fatto decisamente positivo per i giocatori con le mie ca*ratteristiche ».

Come si diventa Giovinco?
«Non si diventa. Le doti te le dà solo Dio, poi tu le puoi affinare, migliorare in allena*mento ».

E lei in cosa deve migliorare?
«In tutto».

Risposta generica: nel dettaglio, invece?
«Direi nella partecipazione alla fase di*fensiva: è lì che sono più carente».

E come si colma la lacuna?
«Lavorando, imparando. Credo che il miglioramento del*la fase difensiva dipenda anche dall’abitudine, dall’esperien*za ».

Il calciatore che ha amato di più?
«Non ho dubbi: Maradona. E poi tutti i grandi numeri Die*ci ».

La sua dote migliore?
«Indubbiamente la rapidità».

Quella che le consente di prevenire i maltrattamenti dei colossi...
«Esattamente. Quando sei piccolo come me devi cercare di
capire in anticipo quello che intende fare il difensore e spiaz*zarlo con la velocità».

Si dice che a fine stagione potrebbe rientrare alla Juve: si sente di passaggio a Empoli?
«A quel che potrà accadere a fine stagione non ci penso. Adesso devo fare bene qui. Il resto si vedrà. Il sogno di tutti i ragazzi che giocano a pallone è quello di indossare la ma*glia di una Grande. E’ evidentemente anche il mio sogno».

Il 2008 potrebbe essere l’anno perfetto: rientro alla Juve e Olimpiadi.
«La partecipazione alle Olimpiadi per me sarebbe un grande traguardo».

Casiraghi starebbe pen*sando ai fuori-quota. Lei chi chiamerebbe?
«L’importante è che ci sia io. In ogni caso, giocare in queste manifestazioni accanto a campioni affermati è sempre positivo: ti fa cresce*re, ti aiuta a fare esperienza».

Fra qualche giorno lei compirà ventuno anni, rispetto a Messi sembra in ritardo. C’è una età giusta per «sbocciare»? «No. Toni alla serie A è arrivato piuttosto tardi eppure ha segnato tanti gol. Altri, invece, riescono ad affermarsi giova*nissimi ».

Lei da che parte si colloca?
«In serie A a vent’anni credo che non sia male».

Quale deve essere l’obiettivo di un giovane calciatore?
«La continuità. Non bisogna sentirsi appagati per aver fat*to una gran cosa in campo, bisogna, invece, puntare a ripe*terla costantemente».

Pato dice di non avvertire la pressione dell’esordio in A. E lei l’avverte?
«La pressione c’è ma non mi condiziona. E’ normale che si parli di me, che intorno a me vi siano delle attese, ma non ci faccio caso».

Come fa a isolarsi?
«Semplice: vado in campo e gioco senza pensare a quel che dicono di me. E’ l’unica maniera per restare bene anco*rati con i piedi alla terra. Voglio essere il mi*gliore in campo ma il fatto di giocare bene a pallone non mi induce a sentirmi il migliore al mondo».

C’è una cosa che non sopporta?
«La solitudine. Mi piace stare con la gen*te ».
L’elogio che la inorgoglisce maggiormen*te?
«Quando mi dicono che sono umile».

Il suo sogno?
«Diventare campione del Mondo».

Prima di Natale ha chiesto alla società di partecipare al*la festa organizzata per i bambini della scuola calcio. Per*ché?
«Perché ero uno di loro, un bambino mingherlino che vo*leva dimostrare che nel calcio il fisico non è tutto. E’ stata la mia sfida: smentire nei fatti chi diceva che non sarei arriva*to »

Pensa di aver vinto la sfida?
«In parte sì. Ma continuare a zittire quelli che la pensano così resta la mia grande molla professionale».
«I nostri club devono avere più fiducia nei giovani. Messi?
Io amavo Maradona Punto sulla velocità» «A Empoli posso crescere e non mi sento in ritardo basta vedere il caso Toni Voglio sempre essere il migliore, ma sto cal

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Tension was sky high at the Castellani for this relegation six-pointer, but the Reggina camp took it too far when star striker Nicola Amoruso was frozen out of the squad after a row with Coach Renzo Ulivieri. The veteran tactician had been in charge of Empoli back in the 1970s and was boosted by a 3-1 win over Catania before the Christmas break. The Tuscans were confident too, though, after the arrival of new boss Alberto Malesani. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Reggina hadn't won any of their four top flight trips to Empoli, but the home side had Francesco Pratali and Davide Moro suspended.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Neutrals were hoping for a repeat of last season's spectacular 3-3 draw and it certainly got off to a blistering start!

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Empoli were shaken, but got straight back on level terms when Cirillo made a disastrous debut. He tripped Antonio Busce' and Luca Saudati converted the penalty to equalise.[/FONT]

[JCK]

So if Van der Vaart is not a midfielder that works in Serie A, how would Ranieri use Giovinco?

 

[BIG DADDY!!!]

I just hope this kid has what it takes to carry this team next season :xfinger:

 

[Red]

So if Van der Vaart is not a midfielder that works in Serie A, how would Ranieri use Giovinco?

Almost certainly as a left winger.

 

[Alen]

while Sebastian Giovinco was causing all sorts of problems down the left flank.[/SIZE][/FONT]

He was brilliant in the opening 20 minutes. It was like watching a youtube video of him.
And from then till the time he was substituted, he was probably the worst guy on the pitch.
In his defense though, the weather was awful and it was raining much more than in Catania. The ball always got stuck in the water and since the pitch was ruined after the opening quarter of an hour, Seba simply wasn't able to do the things he usually does with ease.

New Interview: iovinco "Yes, dream my Juve" From the envoy Antonio Meshes for the courier of sport EMPOLI - Small Cresco*no Phenomena. From Puttinges to Pato passing for Se*bastian Giovinco, ventuno years next the ventisei January.

"People that jump the man in Italian soccer ve of are little. For the caretta*ristiche, it can be approached to Zo*la ", says Vital Pine, the ge*nerale director who has carried it in Tuscany thanks to the Almiron transaction. Hour the dg hope has one: "the conquest of the place in Champions could induce the Juve to head at col*laudati champions. And to that point they could also decide to leave it us for an other year ". In the meantime, Sebastian "studies" because the future cannot attend. The talent is confessed "Wants one large then and the Olympic Games" If for via of the age and the talent it they define the Puttinges italia*no, she as it answers? "I Answer that I am Giovinco and I do not compare myself to nessu*no. And then they are centrocampista that forward a lot is ve*ro that I do not make many goals ". But it does not envy it po' an Argentine? It has become to tito*lare in the Liga playing in Barcelona she, instead, from the Ju*ve has been diverted to Empoli. "Evidently my distance of life was this and que*sto risen of scaling it is works them to my career of calciato*re professional". For the young talents in Italy it is harder... "Yes, in Italy the difficulties are greater. But it seems that recently the spaces for giova*ni the soccers player are increased to me, are increased the chances. If a young person has talent, must send it in field. Perhaps to the foreign country they have a po' more than courage ". And it is content of the opportunity that has offered Empoli to them? "the Empoli helps you to grow. In little time they are ritro*vato me from the Spring to the series To and here a boy of my age comes helped ". The more serious problem that has had to resolve passing from soccer of the boys, the Spring, to that one of the adults? "the rhythm: in series To an other history is coveralls ". And the limited physical potentialities? "Not, those have not been a problem because with the time I have learned to take advantage of to the maximum other qualities". Helps the fact that recently soccer of the funam*boli has been riscoperto to disadvantage of soccer of the culturisti? "In effects, the technical quality seems to have been rivaluta*ta: a decidedly positive fact for the players with my ca*ratteristiche ". How it is become Giovinco? "it is not become. The dowries you give alone God, you can affinare to them, then improve in allena*mento ". And it in what must improve? "In all". Generic answer: in the detail, instead? "They said in the participation to the di*fensiva phase: it is lì that they are more devoid ". And as the gap is overwhelmed? "Working, learning. Creed that the improvement del*la defensive phase depends also on the habit, from the esperien*za ". The soccer player whom he has loved more? "I do not have doubts: Maradona. And then all the great Die*ci numbers ". Its better dowry? "Undoubtedly the rapidity". That one that concurs them to prevent the ill-treatments of the colossus... "Exactly. When six small as me you must try to understand in advance payment what it means to make the defender and spiaz*zarlo with the speed ". One says that to fine season it could re-enter to the Juve: it is felt of passage to Empoli? "To that task will be able to happen to fine season not us. Now I must make here well. The rest will be looked at. The dream of all the boys who play to football is that one to wear the ma*glia of one Large. E' evidently also my dream ". 2008 could be the perfect year: I re-enter to the Juve and the Olympic Games. "the participation to the Olympic Games for me would be a great goal".

In any case, to play in these manifestations beside champions asserts to you is always positive: it makes you cresce*re, helps to make experience you ".

Tones to the series To have arrived rather late nevertheless it has marked many goals. Others, instead, succeed to assert themselves giova*nissimi ". It from that it leave places? "In series To to vent' years creed that is not badly". Which she must be the objective of a young soccer player? "the continuity. It does not have to feel itself satisfies to you in order to have fat*to a great thing in field, must, instead, head for ripe*terla constantly ". Pato says not to perceive the pressure of the debut in To. And it perceives it? "the pressure is but it does not condition to me. Normal E' that is spoken about me, than around to me is of the waits, but I do not make case us ". How ago to isolate itself? "Simple: I go in field and game without to think next to those that they say of me. E' the only way in order to remain well anco*rati with the feet to the earth. I want to be the mi*gliore in field but the fact to play well to football does not induce to feel to me the best one to me to the world ". Is one what that sopporta? "the solitudine. It appeals to to me to be with the gen*te ". The praise that the inorgoglisce maggiormen*te? "When they say to me that they are humble". Its dream? "To become champion of the World".

alta vista sucks ass. i tried to translate and this mess happened

 

[CORVETTE]

When i saw Pato yesterday with Milan , i just felt sorry for Giovinco .

It is just unfair . Italian talents like Giovinco have to waste years from thier careers in small clubs for " gaining experience " , while the Brazilians get the opportunity immediately for playing in the big clubs .

 

[Salvo]

very true but it worked foir him hes killing it.

 

[xkorpyon]
