This season, teams are on average one year younger than in 2018-19. Our championship is increasingly younger, although not yet like Ligue 1. Behind Pejicic’s Udinese (16 years old) there are Lecce, Bologna and Turin
The youngest footballer in Serie A was born the year the first iPhone was released: June 2007. His name is David Pejicic, he is Slovenian and in Udine he has fun on the attacking midfield. Andrea Sottil has always brought it on the bench. And he will probably also be there in mid-December, beating the cold and the wind, when the Friulians take on Sassuolo: on the other side there will be Gianluca Pegolo, the oldest player in the championship. The third black and green goalkeeper was born in 1981, the year in which Lady D married Charles of England and on the other side of the ocean, more or less in the same period, Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield christened their band as Metallica. Pegolo and Pejicic have a 26 year age difference. The first is 42, the second 16. They are the poster child for two opposing generations, but in a Serie A that is increasingly younger than in previous seasons.
