Despite a pitiful series of five ranks in the championship (three defeats and a draw), the Genoa by Patrick Vieira assured its maintenance in the elite last weekend. From now on, the tricolor coach can blow and give a little playing time to men who have not yet had their chance. He also decided to summon a certain Roberto Scaglione, only fifteen years old, in his group.
The attacking midfielder born January 4, 2010 could well come into play this Saturday during the reception of the Atalanta Bergame (8:45 p.m., 37th day). If Patrick Vieira were to make the decision to make him play, Scaglione would enter neither more nor less in the history of Serie A as the youngest player to play at least a few minutes in the elite of transalpine football.
For the time being, this famous honorary record is held by the AC Milan player, Francesco Camarda. The latter came into play during a success of the Rossoneri against Fiorentina on November 25, 2023 (1-0). He was then fifteen, eight months and fifteen days.
Vieira will decide against Atalanta
If Roberto Scaglione appears this Saturday on the lawn of the Luigi Ferraris stadium, he will greatly improve the record since he is fifteen years, four months and thirteen days. This season, the Genoa has signed nine victories, thirteen draws and fourteen defeats in thirty-six games of Serie A.
Patrick Vieira arrived at the club last November. He managed his team twenty-four times for nine victories, nine draws and eight defeats.
