Ferrara takes out Quags (but not the one you were thinking of)

By: agiamba | September 6th, 2009

So I was reading an article about the Nazionale training at Vinovo this weekend, as the next qualifier is in Turin. Who would have thought Grosso would debut in Nazionale in Turin before Bianconero? Apparently Ferrara’s son, Paolo, took out Quagliarella in a training game. This was shocking: I had no idea Ferrara’s son was in our youth system.

I cruised over to the Juventus website and was looking through the various youth teams to see who else was there that I didn’t know about. I knew the great Boniperti’s grandson was there, and obvious Giuseppe Giovinco with the Primavera. I discovered Simone Esposito’s younger brother plays for the piccoli gobbi, and the last find, Federico Marchisio, also a midfielder.

Now obviously there is not a great chance that all these players will even become Serie A players, much less Juve…but how awesome would it be to see Federico Marchisio play alongside his brother? Or the Esposito brothers, or of course, the Giovincos? Our Primavera keeps churning out quality talent, that is one thing for certain.

Paolo Ferrara being consoled. Lippi probably told him Quags was already busted up.

Agreed on no Luis Fabiano.

I wouldn't be opposed to a move for Pandev, he wants to be at a big club and while he is nowhere at Trez's caliber or talent, he'd be there to be a 4th striker. He'd be cheap, it's just a question if he'd be willing to "fight for his place" aka sit on the bench a lot.
Jorid

I thought in the pic with Lippi he looked JUST LIKE CIRO lol. God no, anything BUT Luis Fabiano. Overrated, old, overpriced, scarse. All while being one ugly motherf*****. He might resemble the perfect player for Braida and Galliani but he's really far from what Juve needs I think.

nice photos. thanks roberto. couldnt find ferrara's look on his face. but hopefully he has his father talent.
roberto

Found some photos of Paolo Ferrara during the Nazionale subs vs our primavera team in Vinovo. From the looks of it, Fabio had his knee wrapped prior to Paolo's challenge. Still though, who forgot to tell these kids not to take that game seriously? I know playing against some of your idols can be incredibly motivating, but come on some guys weren't wearing shin gaurds...that's my international sign of playing for fun.

Id rather not go the milan route and start signing brazilians even though fabiano is class. Why not try to shoot for rossi who is young and exceptionally talented and is italian? We could practically have the entire national team wearing bianconeri jerseys.

corriere dello sport are reporting juve might be interested in luis fabiano as the replacement for trezeguet...playing amauri and luis fabiano up front with diego behind them....

about the casano interview,...
who the heck is that blond chick at the beginning?
I think I want to buy her a ring and make plenty of babies with her:)

ontopic: yuve is boosting a lot of talents but I don't agree the way we treat them all the time,...why the hell criscito isn't playing for us, the kid is ready, and worse,... I truley have my biggest concerns about giovinco. if he doesn't play much pretty sure he will leave(who'll blame him?)
alex

“He is the only real trequartista in the world, he is a model for how a player should move between the lines. It’s very difficult to take him down and his technical qualities are above average.
The way he interprets his role is top-notch. Is he better than Kaka? Yes, the ex-Milan player can’t dance between the lines like Diego does.
Diego must be called up, He is a potential Ballon d’Or winner. Only Messi is stronger than him. But the Argentine moves like a Playstation player!”

di canio is obviously a big fan! cant blame him at all diego is brilliant! giovinco is definitely not strong enough to play as trequartista, he can play as a second striker though, just off amauri/iaquinta

ive met a few lads who get trials for boro and even though they dont make it, they are unbelievable players. ive played against a couple of lads who play for york and they were outstanding, makes you appreciate just how good the top players are i think

Calisi, no not in the states, try ebay.it

I would say in a case of a player like Marchisio or Giovinco it's probably talent. I've heard very positive things about Giuseppe Giovinco. In the case of Kaka or Seedorf, that's different. Bettega and Boniperti, of course their name has important sway. I guess the overall gist is when you've got a footballing pool of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, recommendations are an evil but very natural. If a kid has talent enough, he should be able to get a trial but I'm sure there's some that slip through the cracks.

Bettega's son is in Serie C2. We'll never know if he was in the Juve youth team because of his dad's name or because he had talent. Not a pleasant thought, but plenty of these players that aren't offered professional deals are probably just Serie C grade in general.

Yo Mike, were you able to buy that book in the states or no?

interesting interview of Cassano on the youth system subject in Italy
mike

what happened to Bettega's son?
mike

one has to wonder how these players get a chance to play in Juve's (or other Lega Calcio teams) youth system, is it all talent or are other talented players left out and never given a chance because of some "raccomandati"? This is an issue Cassano had brought up in his book "Dico Tutto".
DJP

Talked about a stacked youth system. Juve just keep pumping the kids out.
Calisi

So they can score some goals, forse?

The Nazionale was playing against a team from the Allevi Nazionale, basically, 16+17 years olds, 2 steps below the Primavera. Why? I'm not sure.
bianconeri

How did Ferrara's son even play with Quagliarella?
