Destined to become the new great Italian striker, like Totti or Del Piero, Francesco Camarda signed on loan with Lecce this summer after an explosive debut with the AC Milan reserve. The 17-year-old number 9 has already played 16 matches with the first team, but is still struggling to establish himself. He is still very young and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, special advisor to the owner, fully supports him, especially on social networks.
From the Italy U21 team training camp, the prodigy said: “I never thought I was destined for success. I still live day by day. In club and national team, I try to progress and do my best. I'm not the type to say that I'm destined for success: I try to isolate myself as much as possible. I'm nobody in football. I have to prove to myself, on the ground, that I still have a lot to do. I want to aim as high as possible and I have set big goals for myself and I want to achieve them all. This is just the beginning…I haven't accomplished anything. » Lucid remarks from Camarda who also returned to his first goal in Serie A: “as soon as we start playing, we dream and dream of experiencing moments like these. Scoring your first goal, making your debut, these are goals we have set for ourselves since we were little. Let’s say that achieving them gives me great satisfaction and motivation. It's a starting point, and I'm increasingly motivated to aim as high as possible. »
