Totino, from Kone and Garbett to the Horvath boom: baby talents for Juric

There is an agenda full of brilliant talents in Ivan Juric’s pocket. On this are written the names of fourteen players, fifteen if we add the goalkeeper Luca Gemello born in 2000. He the world of the greats and of Philadelphia has already known him well in the last season in which he was the third behind Berisha and Milinkovic, taking away the satisfaction of making his debut as a starter in Serie A in the 4-0 trimmed in January at Fiorentina. The other fourteen names represent, in practice, a formation of fresh forces: they were all born on January 1st 2000, there are those who are about to return to the base after a year or a semester to gain experience on loan. And who, on the other hand, has just finished the Primavera championship under the guidance of the good coach Coppitelli.

The technical area of ​​the company has, of course, followed the evolution during the season that has just ended. In a short time, some of them will receive a phone call from the company to participate in the summer retreat scheduled for July in two Austrian locations, at two different times. Dreaming of Taurus, let’s try to figure out who in this team of grenade talents has the best chance of receiving this call. So he can start working with Juric.

Golden generation

–

At the top of the list are some of the protagonists of the golden generation of Taurus, that of the 2000 class of which Singo and Gemello are in the first team today. Buongiorno is also part of it despite being a ’99. On 17 October Juric had no hesitation in throwing midfielder Ben Lhassine Kone into the fray at the Maradona in Naples. It was his Serie A debut to replace the injured Mandragora after eight minutes. Lukic’s explosion and Pobega’s growth then pushed him on loan to Crotone in B in January, where he found continuity. Kone has already retired with Juric, a year ago, and the coach likes his characteristics. Good chance he’ll see himself again. Millico and Rauti also went to Juric’s school a summer ago. Both attackers, but with different propensities: the first collected experience in Cosenza in B, the second took the stage in Pescara in Serie C. In retirement Juric could test the level of maturity reached. Another protagonist of that lever is the midfielder Adopo, who recently made himself appreciated at Viterbese in C: 35 appearances between league and cup, enriched by two goals and an assist. The defender Celesia (first Alessandria then Paganese) and the striker Vianni (from Trento) are about to return home: two 2001 to be evaluated.

Towards the World Cup

Two in their twenties began to shine. The first is the Hungarian attacking midfielder Horvath (2002): in the Hungarian Serie B with Szeged he literally exploded, dragging his teammates with a revelation of 19 goals and 12 assists. Numbers that now project him to Juric’s attention. The 2002 midfielder Garbett of the Primavera pursues the dream of playing the World Cup in Qatar: he is now permanently in the New Zealand national team A, the world pass will be played on June 14 against Costa Rica. The mezzala Kryeziu (2002) returns from Virton (B Belgian) and from Sezana (A Slovenian). Attention then to the Primavera: the defenders Anton and N’Guessan, the midfielder captain Savini and the center forward Akhalaia are the subject of reflections. Dreaming of Taurus, the countdown has already started for the 1 July rally.
