Nurturing Young Talent: The Rise of Milan’s Mattia Liberali

The young talent of Milan Mattia Liberalsafter aexcellent season with Spring Rossoneri, yes put on display with the shirt of U17 National Teamhaving been among the protagonists in the victory of theEuropean of category.

The site of Gianluca Di Marzio he then decided to go and discover of the class of 2007 right from the beginning, speaking with the sporting director of The Dominantthe team he grew up in, and his father. Here are some statements from the two:

Mauro Sala (ds La Dominante): “At the beginning he was a central defender. It was a good promise even as a child,” continues Sala. “We have been Milan’s technical center for 15 years now; Milan took him to Vismara, followed him; they always do it, when they see something in a player, to understand if he can explode. We have a structural bond that binds us to Milan, but when we obtain their authorization for any requests, we also dialogue with other professional clubs in the area. Mattia has always had the head of a professional, even as a child. Otherwise he wouldn’t have made his way.”

The father starts from the beginning: “Who would have thought. She was doing judo until recently,” recalls father Christian. “One day, practically out of nowhere, he says to me: ‘Dad, I’d like to try playing football.’ I was happy, I have always been passionate and I also trained for a period. But I have always and only said to my children: do a sport, I don’t care which one. I didn’t want to influence him, but who knows why, perhaps the example of his peers, Mattia made that decision. I took him to Muggiò, the town where my wife and I come from, where they included him in the 2006 year. He played with the older ones. And now we are here.”

And it continues with the European Championship and the current period: “He is in his third year of high school, a sports scientist, he has always done very well at school. And after high school he would like to continue studying. He would like to be a physiotherapist or osteopath. But he doesn’t mind sports journalism either. Now he is increasingly busy. Especially in the last few weeks. European? We had thought about going after the first two games. But we are superstitious, we had won the first two… We preferred to stay at home, also because of the flights and the times.” After that peak of fame, something changed: “But when they stop me on the street to compliment me, I honestly get embarrassed. And the same thing also happens to Mattia, he is really a very shy boy.”

The father finally concludes with a thought about the future: “Mattia still doesn’t see being a footballer as a profession, and I hope that will never happen. It would be the beginning of the end. For him it is not yet a job, and who knows if one day it will become one; For now it’s a passion, I hope it will be forever. On the pitch he just has to remain himself. He knows it, we tell him.”
