The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 chief has stated that their investment in the youngsters have allowed them to rise to new heights; stressed Italy must alter their aversion to growing their local talent.
Aurelio De Laurentiis has voiced his support for nurturing their young talent, citing the example of several top stars in Napoli's ranks that they have raised over the years.
The neglected youngsters of Italian football are a matter of lively debate in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926, and the Azzurri patron has also expressed his opinion on the matter.
De Laurentiis stated the Partenopei have always allocated adequate time and resources towards fostering their young talent, and insisted that the fact has led them to discover stars like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Walter-Gargano-c36598.
The Azzurri patron added that the key is to work with patience towards advancing the abilities of the youngsters, and make them into pillars of their squad.
While talking to the press, the Italian film producer said:
“We are always focused on young people, it is why Lavezzi has become a part of Napoli, the same goes for Hamsik and Gargano. We have had the patience to raise them.”
De Laurentiis went on to voice his disapproval for the prevalent notion in the Italian football that to win you need to keep away from youngsters.
The Partenopei President cited the example of Spanish giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, who have grown to rule European football by developing their youngsters into dominant stars of today.
The Napoli chief stated that it is sad to see Italy’s lack of belief in its own teenagers, and stressed the need for the nation to grow and harvest its infant talent.
“I don’t believe in the cliché that you need ready players to get to the top. Barcelona, for example, did the opposite - they have sown and then harvested, but in Italy we have the opposite tendency.”
The Partenopei President went on to confirm that the Azzurri are nearing a final decision on the future of Ezequiel Lavezzi, and stated that the decision will be made by next week.
The Argentinian international is being closely linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
