He could be the last player in chronological order to make the leap from the Juventus Next Gen to the first team Nikola Sekulovclose to the call against the Lazio given the many absences in the midfield of the Juventus. Self Cheer up decided to make his debut in A leagueperhaps already on Saturday afternoon, Sekulov would complete a real feat, entering his name on the scoreboard in all three professional categories of Italian football.
Who is Nikola Sekulov
The midfielder, born in Piacenza in 2002 but of Macedonian origin, began the season with the club shirt Cremonese, not finding space except for 18′ against Sudtirol: a loan that never blossomed, so much so that in the January transfer window he returned to Continassa, to replenish the squad of Brambilla’s team. Thus finding space and a way to show off, to the point that during the national team period the coach included him in the first team roster. Until he ponders his summons.
Sekulov and the relaunch in Next Gen
Having put the far from positive experience with Cremonese behind him, Sekulov made his fundamental contribution to Brambilla’s team. In the twelve appearances in group B of Lega Pro he collected 4 goals and 2 assists, demonstrating that he can immediately impact the fortunes of the second Juventus team. Having grown up in football in Piacenza, in 2012 he moved to Parma and then to Pro Piacenza, where he showed off by teasing Juventus who secured him in 2016. An exponential growth which guaranteed Sekulov’s call-up to the various youth national teams: first with the U17 of North Macedonia, then the move to the Italian team with U17, U18 and U20, with which he made 8 appearances, scoring one goal. A midfielder gifted with technique but also with remarkable physical qualities, especially running and running, he plays the role of midfielder with personality and with excellent time in insertions: qualities that attracted the attentive eye of Allegri who included him in his team. If he were to make his debut this year, he would become the first to play in the three pro categories of Italian football.
