Nicolo Fagioli is one of the most positive marks of this season for Juventus. The midfielder took advantage of the many injuries in the white and black and "forced" the coach Massimiliano Allegri to trust him with a starting shirt. And, in fact, the 21-year-old has fully rewarded the Livorno technician's trust by offering guarantees in a department that in recent seasons has resulted in "gangrene" for the Old Lady.
Thanks to the positive performances with the whites, Fagioli won his first call-up with the Italian national team as coach Roberto Mancini is expected to give him his debut on Wednesday, exactly in Air Albania's friendly against Albania. Recently, the midfielder spoke about the emotions of the first invitation from the Azurre, even though he said that he did not learn the news of the collection in real time, as he was sleeping.
"Gathering with the national team? I didn't even notice, I was sleeping because I was coming after a very tiring match against Verona. Then the messages immediately arrived, I was of course very happy and so was my whole family. It was a wonderful feeling. When he starts and plays football, he always thinks about the day he arrives at the national team. Role on the pitch? I started as a three-quarter artist, but looking at my characteristics, I was placed a few meters behind in the field. I still haven't decided where I feel best.
Idol? Of course Del Piero, for me the goal against Germany in the semi-final of the 2006 World Cup will remain forever. He complimented me on the game or the goals I scored. I am inspired by him and Dybala, I like talented players" , said Fagioli.
