Fortunately for Italy they have another young star on the horizon and his name is Federico Macheda.Yesterday the 17 year old debuted for Manchester United against Aston Villa and unleashed this stunner.
Federico Macheda is currently in the Italian national team fold.
Claudio Lotito the President of Lazio was very upset at having lost him a two years ago fully aware of what he had in Macheda as a talent.
"Lotito has called for a change in the system that allowed United to sign the Italian teenager at 16, having spotted him even earlier. Players from European Union countries are able to move to Britain on academy or scholarship contracts at 16, and to sign full professional contracts at 17, but Lotito believes that he should have been allowed to tie down Macheda earlier."
The full article on Federico Macheda and the effect he is having on Uefa can be read fully by clicking this UK Times online article. Currently the age allowed to recruit a foreigner is 16.Federico Macheda may inspire the change to 18.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/manchester_united/article6047959.ece Here is an idea of what Lazio may have lost in Federico Macheda.
Lazio's Claudio Lotito has had enough with what he feels has been Lazio lack of work ethic and pride.And has threatened to pull back the check book and deny payment to his players. Said Lotito of Lazio's third straight defeat.
"Siena haven't paid their players for four months? I have always been punctual, but now I will change because we cannot continue like this.From now on I want to see the team determined and with conviction. We have to concentrate and get the results. We have to show that we are attached to this shirt like the Siena players did with theirs."
This stories significance carries extra weight when contrasted with Lazio's loss over the weekend and the loss of Federico Machedo. Ouch.
