An evening of first times in the Neroverde home: the defender born in 2004 has crowned the dream of being called with the “grown-ups”
The first time is never forgotten. At Sassuolo, the baby prodigy Adrian Cannavaro has crowned his dream of being called with the “grown-ups” for a Serie A match. A surname that is certainly not trivial in the Reggio Emilia area, given that the 2004-born is the son and grandson of art . In fact, his father is Paolo, a former black and green between 2014 and 2017, brother of Ballon d’Or Fabio. In the list of 25 drawn up by Dionisi for yesterday’s match against Turin (which ended 1-1), the number 55 corresponded precisely to this 18-year-old who until yesterday hadn’t even had a call-up for the Sassuolo first team. For the absolute debut we still have to wait, yesterday 90′ on the bench, but for Adrian it was certainly an unforgettable evening, topped off by the victory a few hours before the Under 18 in the Viareggio Cup, which he himself raised to the sky a year and a half ago .
Dionisi pampers him

In the post-match Dionisi spoke of a “serious, determined” boy, also underlining his merit in having earned the call. In short, in Sassuolo the CEO Carnevali knows he can pamper yet another talent.
From father to son
—
Close to turning 19, Adrian has been playing for Sassuolo since 2014, when his father left Naples after eight seasons. Paolo Cannavaro’s career in neroverde was full of satisfactions. When Paolo arrived in Emilia, President Squinzi first decided to include a prize for the Europa League in the contract. He had smiled, salvation already seemed like a feat to him. And instead the qualification in the Europa League arrived. And Paolo was also enchanted by the project, by the owned stadium and by the care of the young people. Berardi, Locatelli, Raspadori… What if the next jewel was his son?
