From Palmeiras to Bologna: here is D’Autilia, the goalkeeper who bewitched Italy

Snatched from Inter in the summer of 2022, Renato Widmer D’Autiliaborn in 2008, moved to Bologna and immediately began to impress everyone, gaining space in the rossoblu youth teams starting from the Under 15s and arriving, this year, to play from a younger age with the Under 17s coached by Denis Biavati. Last year he played in the quarter-finals of the Under 15 category, going out against his former team, which later won the championship.

Instead of moving to the Under 16s, the goalkeeper is added directly to the boys born in 2007 to play from under age. This turns out to be an excellent choice, both for him and for his team, which is having an excellent championship. With two days to go, Bologna is in third place behind only Juventus, now certain of first place, and Sassuolo, who are only one point away.

D’Autilia He has dual nationalityItalian-Brazilian, but has always been in the sights of our national team, as demonstrated by the “old” call-ups and those of the current season with Italy Under 16: he played two matches, one against the Czech Republic and one with Belgium .

A boy endowed with important physical qualities (being almost two meters tall), which make him a difficult wall for his opponents to overcome, in addition to his excellent command of the ball with both feet: an aspect not to be underestimated, considering that he is in the construction from below or in relaunches, D’Autilia can be a very valid card for your team.
