Fabio Miretti experienced one of the most unforgettable moments of his career this afternoon when Max Allegri handed him a first start on the Juventus senior team.
He has been training with them for some time now and remains one of the finest young players in the club’s youth system.
With injuries mounting, Allegri has had to call up some youngsters to his senior team training, and he was one of them.
The midfielder knew he could be involved in today’s game after being named in the squad. However, he wouldn’t have expected to start the match.
That is exactly what happened, and he was delighted to have taken to the pitch for the Bianconeri.
Speaking after the game, he admitted that he had help from his other teammates.
He said, as quoted by Tuttomercatoweb: “Today’s match was an indescribable emotion, I will always keep it in my heart. Today I felt good, everyone helped me and therefore I felt like one of them, I was at ease.”

Miretti will hope he has impressed his manager enough to earn more minutes in the club’s first team heading into the future.
The youngster’s first start is more proof that Allegri gives chances to young players who show that they deserve it and it will certainly not be the last time he trusts a teenage player.
