Youth and mistakes

A wonderful beginning of confidence for a boy who has shown character and, above all, strength to know how to rise from the last innocence. Mistakes happen, you need to learn from them and try not to repeat them again, but all this is part of the experience of a football player. Coach Andrea Pirlo defended him well. “In football, young people can make mistakes,” he said before the match against Venice, “and they have to make mistakes in order to learn and grow. They don’t need to put pressure on a young player.” The role of an excellent goalkeeper is very delicate, and the psychological aspect is always very important, especially when it comes to a person born in 2002.

Pirlo’s words

At the end of the match, the Doria coach celebrated his game in the press room. “We know his qualities – the former world champion midfielder made his debut as a goalkeeper in 2006 – it was important to stay close to him.” “Sometimes you make mistakes when you play in these categories in an important shirt,” he continued. “He showed his potential tonight. Mistakes happen, but it’s important to get back on your feet.” And now there will be a break, during which we will have to work on fine-tuning the last automatisms and, perhaps, insert some profiles received from the transfer market. But there is an awareness that he rediscovered the qualities of a valuable goalkeeper. Qualities of Philip Stankovich.
