Between Genova e Torino there are 180 kilometers. They can be done in just over 2 hours by car: A7 to Tortona and then the entire E70 to Turin, passing through Alessandria, Asti, Moncalieri. It doesn’t take much, after all. Between Genoa and Juventus, however, the journey is longer. Many have done it, even in recent years. There are Stefano Sturaro e Mattia Perini bomber Alessandro Matri e Marco Borriello. However, only one, to follow that path, decided to take a run, go down to Serie D, move to Serie C, get a quick apprenticeship in the cadet team and then take everything: the black and white shirt, the blue one, the one as a starter. We are talking about Andrea Cambiaso.
The foot he places on the head of is his Gatti the winning ball against the Napoli. He is the foot of the future, of Juventus and also of the Italian national team.

The story of Cambiaso, a Genoan at heart
Born in 2000, Genoan in blood, Genoese in identity card, raised in the Grifone youth team from the age of 15, directed to RossoBlu by his grandfather. The debut in Serie A at 21 years old, the goal a few months later in the defeat against Napoli. “I couldn’t contain my joy, I had to throw myself on the ground. I really struggle to describe what I felt, it was incredible stuff”. Then the loan to Bologna, with the same colors on the shirt, before the interest from Juventus, which puts almost 10 million on the table. “If Juventus has shown interest in him, it says it all. He achieved super goals with extreme speed. He is a humble, very helpful boy”. Talk like this Fabio Fossati, the coach who first discovered Cambiaso. In Serie D.

The apprenticeship in the province
It’s 2017, Genoa sends Andrea Cambiaso to gain experience in the province. There is Albissola, a company that unites the municipalities of Albissola Superiore and Albissola Marina, in the province of Savona. Today play in First Category, but in those years he wrote fairytale pages: from Promotion to Serie C in three years. With the last step taken thanks to Cambiaso. “It was clear that he had an edge – continues his coach in an interview with Eurosport – he is a modern player, already at a very young age he knew how to best interpret the two phases. In my opinion he is a one-of-a-kind midfield fifth”.
A unique fifth, who from the ranks in the province took Juventus and, last month, also the first call-up Luciano Spalletti. The next objective, then, is easy to say: there is a championship to win. Hunger and desire are the same as in years ago Series D. Word of Andrea Cambiaso.
