‘My golden boys’: Under-21 coach Silvio Baldini opens up about his Azzurrini and the relaunch of Italian football: “In football they have to look for the happiness they felt as children.

‘Palmisani calls Juve’: The Frosinone and Under-21 goalkeeper sees black and white. His agent Federico Pastorello says: “There was already an approach in the summer, and now he would be Vicario’s deputy.
