So I saw Italy's first game in the U20s on replay ( a 0-0 draw with Paraguay, who are quite strong). Albertazzi was fielded as a centerback and I thought he was very good. Gazzetta also gave him full marks for his coverage and for his general play (he and the other cb, whose name escapes my sleep-deprived mind, were referred to in Gazzetta as 'centerbacks in the old Italian style' which was intended as a pretty significant compliment). The U20s beat Trinidad today, 2-1 and Albertazzi scored the first goal.
Fishdoll is liking the kid.

and with that it's time for me to go to bed. based on the fact i found that to be ambiguously sexual, I too must be tired, goodnight. Edit: sorry i was greatly wrong in thinking you were a male poster (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) scuzi (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Fishdoll is liking the kid. Damn I forgot about that game. I'm very glad he's doing well but I'd prefer it if he was doing it as a LB. Forza Michelangelo!

He's being compared to a young Baresi by Gazzetta. I think that may be pushign things a bit but he does look awfully good, or did in the game i saw.

I'm judging from the little that I've seen from his games with the senior team.
The fact that he's our most played youngster is telling.

Fishdoll is liking the kid. We could have won that game - atleast walked away away with a draw. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) No big deal as I was wearing an Italy jersey anyway! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) But I was happy atleast it was a Milan player that busted our net! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
