A beacon of the Rossoneri Under 17 team, the 2008-born player is the prototype of the universal footballer: attacking winger, attacking midfielder, central defender and full-back. Soon it’s time to decide
He has the pace and ability to jump the man as an attacking winger, the creativity and imagination of an attacking midfielder, and that habit of scoring goals that he has never given up on as a centre-forward. The central defender’s centimeters and broad shoulders, the full-back’s stride and speed. Combining everything even the midfield interior comes out. It is written Simon, pronounced “Saimon”. The surname is La Mantia, the team is Milan, the role… everyone. On May 20th he will turn 17, 8 of which spent with the Rossoneri colours, but woe betide anyone who classifies him.
