Paulo Dybala, Mario Mandzukic, Alvaro Morata, Simone Zaza and now Andrea Favilli. Eighteen years, from January 2015 to Juventus, 364 days after the debut of the same age also it came the first big jump. About the fate that between injuries and suspensions have decimated the Juventus forward line, and a continuous and exponential growth to such an extent as to lead Massimiliano Allegri (a Livorno that debuts a Pisan, fate sometimes plays incredible jokes) to grant him a moment of glory in the away match in Frosinone. Just a moment in place of Alvaro Morata, just after 2-0 Dybala, a minute of adrenaline, emotion, memories.
The first kicked – Frosinone and Livorno away as the crow flies about 400 kilometers. But it is in the Tuscan land the striker grew up in Polisportiva Zambra (Pisa) stands out, first with the Allievi Nazionali, then with the Primavera where he scored important goals (7 in the first part of the 2014/2015 season). A Vinovo notice of him and just in ulitmi days of the winter market led him to Turin, with a two-year loan and redemption set at 350,000 € in June 2016. Favilli immediately puts on show: both the physical qualities that for refinement his left-handed. Grosso appreciates him unconditionally, despite two goals in the first six months. After the normal period of acclimatization Favilli though turns and in the current season begins to recite the mantra of the goal. Ten in the league, including the one in the derby against Torino, two in Italy and one Cup, nine minutes after its debut in the UEFA Youth League match against Manchester City, then coached by Patrick Vieira. 13 overall networks, which reported the Juventus Primavera summit after some transitional season.

the youth revival – Just in the winter session of the year passed the” youth revolution “had been completed. Not only Favilli, but Zappa, Tello (today in Cagliari), Lirola, Filipovic (returned to Croatia but immediately hired by Spezia: 8 goals so far) and Cassata had gone to reinforce the Big Pink. A few months to understand the coach and then the team dictates started to get going. The Bianconeri lead the Group A with four points ahead of sull’Entella (overcome 2-1 in the last round), they have touched the passage to the knockout stages of the Youth League and are in the semifinals of the Italian Cup, strong 1-0 in the race round against Fiorentina (tomorrow return to Vinovo). A season that has yet to live its peak, but that can be reserved for Favilli great satisfaction, allowing the first team.

Dreaming Marchisio – Why Tuscan attacker this speaks of a future to be written in the spring, perhaps hoping to follow in the footsteps of Claudio Marchisio, who grew up on bread and Juventus since childhood. In the recent past the grand debut is also touched Mattia Vitale (from the last month on loan at Lanciano, along with Udoh bomber), who always Allegri were granted two race glimpses with Parma and Cagliari, last season. Before the midfielder had been rather Libertazzi, Giannetti (author of a goal against City in the Europa League) and Giandonato to carve out personal glory with the first team. Mixed results for its predecessors, but this today Favilli does not matter: if Juve could exceed Naples, stay on top of the league and win the championship, the minute instead of Morata in Frosinone would champion Italy he too . It would not hurt for someone who will make 19 years on May 17, two days after the end of the season.
