The Cesena clubhouse yesterday afternoon was as packed as the Curva Mare in the decisive matches: the youth sector party attracted many of the young Juventus players and their parents.
Of course, the presence of Gianluca Di Marzio, Sky journalist and great transfer market expert, called to host the afternoon, also had its weight.
First of all, the victory of the Primavera team coached by Nicola Campedelli was celebrated, a victory that brings Cesena back to the Primavera 1 championship, but if the first team has amassed record numbers, the youth sector is no different.
The under 15/16 and 17 teams qualified for the final stages, the under 16 team also boasts the best scorer in the championship, Scapoli who scored 21 goals.
Cesena was also the most represented club in the Serie C youth selections with 18 players called up.
In short, the academy has been full of applause in recent months, also considering the many of its ‘products’ who were protagonists in the first team: Antonio David, Simone Pieraccini and Cristian Shpendi were also present at the event yesterday. Then we must add Tommaso Berti and Matteo Francesconi.
The dream, the goal to be achieved for all these kids, is to wear the Cesena shirt among the greats, an emotion that no one was able to explain better than Nicola Campedelli: “In my career I played in Serie A and in the national team, but I felt the strongest emotion on my debut against Cesena: I had won a corner kick under the curve and hearing that support was a great thing.”
Yesterday’s meeting was also an opportunity to present the first summer camp organized by Cesena, the person in charge will be Davide Succi, former Cavalluccio striker and more: it will be possible to opt between the day formula, therefore without overnight stay, and the night one which It also includes overnight accommodation.
