A twenty-one year long reign. Culminating in the victory of the under 18 title and in the final lost without demerit against Roma in the under 15 category. The discovery of many boys launched into professionalism that counts, from El Shaarawy to Sturaro, from Cambiaso to Pellegri, up to the last rough diamonds, Alessandro Marcandalli (22) and the twenty year old Federico Accornero.
Michele Sbravati he has just left Genoa’s youth sector to test himself in the Juventus reality, and the Villa Rostan club has moved in the name of continuity in choosing his historic collaborator as a replacement, Enrico Ascherihaving him assisted by Stefano Ghisleni arriving from La Spezia, although the overall picture could extend to two other figures yet to be defined.
The situation of the Genoan nursery is flourishing. Among the local alleys it is easy to find nuggets on the ground. If spring is illuminated by the star Roman Mark (18) and goals by Christos Papadopoulosthe under 18 was dragged by the bombers Jeff Ekhator (17) e Lorenzo Venturino (18), by the captain Stefano Arata (17) and the midfielder Filippo Dodde (18). Various elements of the team also stood out as they only gave in at the last step, coming within a whisker of the under 15 category title.
The goalkeeper Lorenzo Costolithe right back Gabriele Mandirola and the play Mattia Brizzolariboth nationals in the category, the left winger Joseph Savona (Nicolo’s cousin) and the attacker Carmine Cozzolino the brightest stars, without obviously leaving out 2010 Roberto Scaglione. The basis from which to start again to resume the growth path even after the farewell of those who shaped it for so long.
However, we must be careful, because the market does not remain indifferent and the assault by other clubs on the peninsula could soon begin. And next year the doors to foreign countries could open for some of them. It will be the task of Ascheri and his staff to lock down every single rossoblù jewel.
