I thank Fair Play Messina who has become a point of reference at a respectable Sicilian level. A society that has shown that he has professionalism, great passion in following the boys and an important methodology. It is essential to follow young people on their path from the basic activity to the youth sector. From this point of view Fair Play is carrying out an important path and the Strait tournament proves to be of absolute level ».
On this wavelength, Sbravati wanted to highlight how important it is to work at high levels in the area of youth sectors: “The responsibility to represent an important and historical society such as Juventus cannot be underestimated. We are talking about a brand with an extraordinary value that must be preserved when you cross the borders of Piedmont both nationally and internationally. Participating in important tournaments in Italy and abroad allows children to live extraordinary experiences but, at the same time, it is an opportunity for staff and managers to represent society in the best way both technically and at an ethical and behavioral level “.

I have been working in this world for 25 years and I have heard these appeals numerous times and cyclically they return to fashion. You have to have balance in the assessments. For my experience, it is not true that in Italy we work badly with the youth sectors. Times have changed, football is evolving and this must push technicians, instructors and managers to have skills always in step with the times ».
