Ferrara: "The Debut Of Our Youths Is Our Prize For 2008"
The end of the year is a time of auditing even for the youth section. 2008 for the Juventus nursery can easily be defined as being positive. There were no important victories on the field but these were made up for by the debut of various youths with the first team. This summarizes the point made by the person responsible, Ciro Ferrara.
"Besides the positive results, which must not be considered fundamental even though they bring joy, the greatest success for 2008 is without doubt made up of the many debuts of our youths in professional competitions. Pasquato and Castiglia in Serie A, the same Castiglia and Esposito in the Champions League, Ariaudo in the Champions League preliminaries and of course Rossi who stayed with Ranieri’s team the whole Summer".
"This is the main scope of the youth nursery and when a youngster reaches these goals it is of great satisfaction to all those who contributed. It is also an important result for the club which knows that it can count on youngsters which are valid and interesting and which can leave their mark at Juventus – such as De Ceglie, Giovinco and Marchisio – or in other clubs".
"In the last 12 months there were changes, particularly at coaching level for some formations, but the philosophy remained the same. The philosophy of professionalism, motivation, of the stimuli and will to improve further".
"Everybody must remember that we must make them live a dream, but the expectations are often too heavy, sometimes even from the parents’ side. Not all those who begin this adventure are destined to become champions. Our job is to improve all of them and to see that even those of stop before will have matured and had an unforgettable experience".
"For this reason, we launched the informative and integrated project of which the club is a promoter. In today’s day and age not only the technical formation is important but also helping the boys outside the field. For this reason I would like to thank all those who helped us out in this project".
"2009 will begin with the usual proposals, the great want to improve further and obtain some satisfaction, besides the hope to see the definite instalment of our boys who are close to the first team".
"With the drawing close of the Christmas festivities, I would like to take the opportunity to send my best wishes to all those who, everyday, work to improve the youth nursery, to the boys and to their families".
