Once again, Serie D proved to be much more formant of youth championships. Francesco Scafetta, in the years of Reggiana in B, he had tasted the air of professional football by playing the junior championship with the Emilians.
After a complicated summer, the choice to accept Serie D, in his Vasto, showing off, with assists and goals, at the court of the then coach Fulvio D’Adderio. Last season again Interregional, this time with Modica of coach Giacomo Modica, a total, between the two experiences of over 70 games, gaining so-called experience in the world of the “grown-ups”.
Last July, Bari decided to buy him by signing him for a two-year deal (with the option to renew for another two seasons) and deciding to loan him out in Group C of Serie C with Messina. There is a huge difference between D and professionalism, but the twenty-one year old from Vasto, he made it clear that he could do greatalso taking advantage of the presence on the bench of Modica who, having already had him under his employ, supported his arrival in Sicily.
The 2002 player from Vasto, on the Strait, placed himself completely at the disposal of the Mazarese coach who was initially supposed to field him as an attacking flank in 433. In modern football, however, the modules are often revised, Francesco was good at being ready, in all situations field areas. Making the best of all parts, becoming a precious joker as a midfielder, right back and, if necessary, also a “blocked” midfielder. The numbers speak in his favor, 1420 minutes on the pitch for a total of 30 appearances, of which 15 as a starter, he has always been there in the block of thirteen elements taken into consideration.

However, he is already looking to next season, at the moment Bari is busy fighting to avoid relegation from Serie B, once the season is over, the future of the Vastese joker will begin to take shape. Francesco Scafetta has shown that he can be a protagonist in Serie C but who knows, maybe the summer will accompany him towards Serie B.
