He received the MVP of the match award after Italy vs Belarus U18

He seriously should get more playingtime. Muntari is injured all the time and Ambro is over the hill. Let Ambro assist him and give him playing time in the copa and subs in the scudetto.

You know, he's getting enough playing time as it is. No need to burden him with more in the senior team. Let the kid grow in peace.

Three of the biggest issues to why young talents never fulfill their potential is:

1: The pressure of becoming the next X- current star play in the same position. If he gets game time in Serie A with our senior team, he'll also get much more attention from media. I think very few people can handle that.

2: Which leads me to the next point, which is the mentality of a 16-17 year old. Kids doesn't always understand that the road to being a quality player is long. Early stardom can make it difficult for them to keep their feet on the ground and continue work hard and set goals.

3: They don't have fully developed bodies yet. To much playing time / to hard training regime can break their bodies.

The way DES and SES have been integrated into the team is really good, and look at them now. Cristante, Mastour, Petagna or whoever they are have enough things on their minds right now, they're playing in primavera and national teams, if they continue like this they'll get playing time in the first team soon enough (Petagna have already gotten a couple of minutes or more), no need to hurry. Besides, they probably can't make much difference for us now anyway, we have to play the best team possible as often as possible, and when we use subs, it got to be the replacements for the first team, to give them some playing time and match form so that they can be ready if the first team players get suspended / injured.

I'm not disregarding the fact that first team playing time and experience is important for youngsters. But there's no need to hurry and they have to get the playing time under the right circumstances. How old are these kids, 16? 17? And look at our situation, are we in Barcelona mode?

He should play more as a sub. That's not the same as saying hey lad, you're the new Ambro, go and be our capitano and crush evry opponent midfield.

He should get some sub-time, media wont jump on him for that or atleast not more than they do now, and he can learn from Ambro now he's still here.

He's physiqually not 100% grown yet but it's enough for 15-20min playing time evry once in a while, and his physique definetly isn't much worse than Ambro's current physique.

Well put.:thumbsup:

I imagine its really hard for a 17 year old to keep his feet on the ground if the biggest clubs in the world are prepared to splash money on you and coaches calling you the next messy, maradona or whatever. I really wonder how mastour reacted with that video of him collective over 2mil views.

Correct...you also need to judge the support system around the player and the player's background. I'm going to generalize here, so please don't call me on it. If a player is going to be motivated by getting a taste of first team action, then you give it to him [assuming he is worthy]; conversely, if a player is going to be burdened by expectations and allow them to crush him, you let him develop.

One of the most overlooked abilities of good managers is people management. Good mangers manage people...mediocre managers manage strategy. Some players have a great support system in place that helps keep a player grounded, such as SES, whereas a lot of the players who grew up poor and in a poor country don't. If a player gets 50K per week, that could be more than their family makes in 3 or 4 years, thus the pressure could be higher.

Great post - only calling you on one part of the generalization and adding some of my own;) - You can have poor kids that have all of that great basis and can be more humble and kids that have it all being entitled.

I think alot of it comes down to the pampering elite talents get from all aspects of society whether they are rich or poor. If they dont have the support as you said then they expect it will always come easy or the rules dont apply to them and never fully put in the work.

I kind of give the "Samba boys" a pass if they go to the top like Dinho and Fenomeno - when you have achieved that much and been on top since 18-21+ then its very difficult to maintain until 33.

There are far too many to name past & present
We may just have the new Luis Enrique on our hands.

Dont think the majority of people on here will remember his playin days tbh.
