Every year, football never ceases to surprise us and the correct formation of the minor divisions has been an important factor in the search for new talents in the world. Not long ago, in Barcelona the debut of Lamine Yamal16 years old, and who has already had the opportunity to debut in the Spain national team. If the situation seemed like a surprise, from Italy comes another new ‘jewel’ of the beautiful sport that is about to debut: Francesco Camarda, with 15 years of age. Actually in AC Milanthe athlete could be included in the squad for the Rossoneros’ match against Fiorentina in Serie A.
It seems that the minor categories were too small for Camarda’s talent and he would already be a consideration for coach Stefano Pioli in the main squad, waiting to take his first steps in the First Division. Born on March 10, 2008, the teenager trained at GSD Afforese in Milan and five seasons ago he made the jump to the Serie A team.
He is a center forward who from his first appearances gave a lot to talk about, although it was last December when he began to be recognized worldwide after his debut with the Primavera team.
“As a child he was already impressive, he looked like a miniature footballer. His case is unique. I have never met a boy with his qualities again. “He was three years younger than the rest and scored goals by the handful.”recalled one of his first coaches, Piero Colangelo, to ‘Sprint e Sport’.
The data corroborates the comments because in his debut with the Italian U-15 he scored a hat-trick in 23 minutes. Regarding Milan’s Under-17 team, he has scored 22 goals in 18 games. Furthermore, he became the youngest Italian (15 years, 6 months and 9 days) to mark the history of the UEFA Youth League. In his debut, against Newcastle (4-0), he scored two goals and gave an assist.
Despite his young age, Francesco has already obtained sponsorship from Adidas and among his great references are Kaká and Ibrahimovic. Curiously, like the veteran Swedish striker, the Italian prodigy has a weakness for martial arts, although football is the sport in which he wants to succeed.
Why would you debut in Serie A?
AC Milan’s reality is not bad in Serie A, for now they are in third place in the standings with 23 points, although they are far from the leader Inter (31). However, in recent times the contribution of Luka Jovic, the main striker, has become null. In addition to this, Giroud is sanctioned. For this reason, the coach could look for solutions in the ‘Primavera’ team, where Francesco Camarda scores a goal every 87 minutes.
From Italy it is almost certain that, at least, it will enter the list. If he manages to gain minutes with the main team, Camarda will unseat Wisdom Amey (Bologna, (15 years and 277 days) for 13 days as the youngest player to debut in Serie A.
