If there is one player in form at Juventus at the moment, it is Federico Gatti, scorer against Monza then against Naples. Interviewed by Tuttosport, his father Ludovico returned to his son’s journey and other subjects.
His son’s goal against Naples:
« I was at the stadium, I saw the goal up close. And I filmed my son’s celebration, which my seatmate sent me. Besides, he marked his mother’s birthday and his girlfriend’s birthday: he did nothing wrong. »
Juventus squad this season:
« A team of workers? Yes I love it. This is a team trying to restart after years without a win. I like to think of the players who are coming on the scene: McKennie, who is in the process of redeeming himself, Rabiot who, until two years ago, was contested by everyone and finally Bremer, who, in his second year in Bianconero, is having an incredible championship. This year, Juventus is united: the club, the technical staff and the players are one. This can be seen on the pitch: Allegri has done an enormous job. »
Foreign clubs wanted to recruit Federico?
« During the summer, a few English clubs wanted him: I always thought the Premier League was football that suited him. But my son sees things differently: he only ever wanted Juventus. He did very well, he never liked transfers against his will, like when Toro gave him to Alessandria when he was 14 and Alessandria didn’t find him good enough. »
His career in football:
« I saw Camarda start at 15 in Serie A: at his age, my son was not really mature. He was born a striker, then the stages of his career took him back. However, he always had an extraordinary desire to get to the top, even when he was playing in the promotion division: he even considered moving to the United States or Malta to start from scratch. To make a living from football. “He was fed up with his life, he didn’t want to settle for being an amateur. So he worked, played and slept: nothing else. He never relaxed, he was constantly fighting against himself. He only knew that he had to change his life: he succeeded and I can only admire him. »
His power on the ground:
« Even someone like Scirea, who was a pillar of Italian football, had to use his strong hands on the pitch at times. But it all ended there. Today there are so many cameras, but I think Federico’s competitive ferocity is the result of his years in the amateurs: when you find someone stronger in front, you do everything you can to fight for them. ‘Stop. If someone accuses him, it doesn’t matter: my son continues. »
