“Take it steady”: Giacinti on Valentino Catania's U15 call-up | OneFootball

The youth player from the eighth division (2011 age group) was called up to take part in a series of three weekly training sessions at the Lionel Andrés Messi Training Complex that the AFA has in Ezeiza. The one who stepped up to put this great moment into perspective and keep things grounded was Ariel Giacinti, the general coordinator of Tatengue’s youth divisions.

In a conversation with Darío Pignata on ADN Gol, the man in charge of the “little factory” explained how they found out the news and what kind of profile this prospect has, one who travels every day from Santo Tomé to train at the club. Giacinti explained that the call-up was no coincidence, but the result of constant back-and-forth with Enrique Cezana, coordinator of the youth national teams.

When it came to describing Catania, he did not hesitate to highlight his confidence on the ball, his efficiency (he has eight goals this year), and his power in one-on-one situations. However, the coordinator emphasized the physical care they have been giving him because of the normal growing pains he is experiencing due to his tall build. For Giacinti, the institution’s absolute priority is to support this maturation process without rushing things.
