Stefano- The U21 team has me all kinds of excited for the future. We really have quite the youth setup. We’ve got a very strong defense spearheaded by guys like Motta, De Ceglie, and Criscito; a tactical and technical midfield in the hands of Abate, Marchisio, and Dessena; and finally, what might be the best up and coming strike force in all of national team play.

If 2010 doesn’t work out for us I think 2014 is easily within grasp in the hands of the right coach.
