Now this just pisses me off. This guy had Italy's biggest talent by far and he never played him. Giovinco dominated games and was productive as hell yet he never got the chance to start the game after, and now he's admiring Roma's youth?
Ranieri admires Roma youth
Claudio Ranieri hailed Roma’s youth academy after two youngsters scored in the 3-0 Europa League victory.
Alessio Cerci bagged a brace away to CSKA Sofia this evening, while 17-year-old substitute Filippo Maria Scardina marked his Euro debut with a late goal.
“It is not difficult for a Coach to find young talent at Roma, as this club has always raised some excellent players,” said Ranieri.
“This outfit has a wonderful youth sector, talent scouts, trainers and a football academy, so the Coach is spoilt for choice.
“That’s not to say the young players should get ahead of themselves, but I am keeping an eye on their progress.
“Cerci actually frightened me a bit, as he was so eager to prove himself that I needed to calm him down. I’m happy for him.”
