Bonatti, former Juve, tells Miretti, De Winter, Soulé and the others

If you leave Juventus, as far as the youth sector is concerned, to go to Triestina, it means one thing, or rather two: that you want to test yourself with a new project, even if it’s just starting, and that you’re not afraid to make the leap. Andrea Bonatti is an experienced coach on the pitch and young off (he has yet to turn 34) and for this reason he knows how to balance the enthusiasm of the boys (“they need to play, always”) and the awareness that there is also a need for a little bit of maturity. For this reason, in addition to talking about Triestina (Serie C), and what awaits him next season, he also likes to talk about the young people he coached in the Juventus youth sector.

Here too, with balance: with so many big names arriving in Turin, is there still room for the kids?

“If they are valid, yes. It is clear that there is a lot of competition – she explains – but whoever is worth it sooner or later emerges “.

Let’s make the names: Fabio Miretti, almost 19 years old, fresh out of high school, already seven appearances in the first team.

“Excellent. I think there are steps, and he has already passed the first. He is talented but above all he has great emotional security. Whether it’s the pitch under his home, the Youth League or Serie A, he has his fixed points and he knows what to do with them. For me, if they trust him, he can reach the national team “.

Matias Soulè, Argentine.

“Promising striker, he has already made his debut too, he has an important technical talent. It is clear that he has to adapt to the Italian context, but he has a fantastic ability to adapt to training ”.

De Winter, from Belgium, went to Empoli.

“Right choice, we are talking about a boy of incredible elegance, he has gained experience in several positions, but has the maturity of a great central defender”.

Juve have the second team, but the project did not take off in Italian football.

“Unfortunately it is true, I realize that doing the same project as his Juve is complicated, in the Spring the over-quotas increase, the teams are getting older, it does not seem to me that there are highly formative projects”.

His adventure in Triestina has just begun. The cheering is hot, the square is expecting a lot.

“I’m happy, it’s a fascinating challenge. I expect the idea of ​​organization and competitiveness to turn into facts on the field. Objectively, I am happy and also curious to see where we will arrive ”.

President Simone Giacomini and CEO Giancarlo Romairone have an ambitious project.

“We found ourselves immediately. There is a desire to do well, to grow, to aim high. Even with a quality of play. We proceed step by step, but the ideas and investments are there “.

Among the various arrivals, from Rome there is the 2004 goalkeeper Mastrantonio, considered one of the best prospects in Italy.

“I like Davide very much, but he is 18 years old. Let’s let him grow, play, even make mistakes, because that’s the only way to learn. In Triestina there is the desire to invest in young people, here it is expected that there will be courageous people who bet on his talent. Being young brings freshness, enthusiasm, but also a lack of experience, it takes balance. Mastrantonio, however, seems to me a confident boy and very convinced of his qualities “.
