Since March 2022, Fabio Miretti has been a member of the Juventus first team. The midfielder is a youth product of the club who took advantage of an injury crisis to get his breakthrough with the senior squad.
While has hasn’t always been a regular starter, the 20-year-old has been accumulating appearances for the last 18 months or so.
On Saturday, the Italian celebrated his 50th appearance with the first team. He started for Max Allegri’s side in the 3-1 win over Lazio.
According to Tuttosport via ilBianconero, Miretti made history by reaching this milestone at a younger age than Juventus icons Alessandro Del Piero and Claudio Marchisio.
As the source explains, no Bianconeri player in recent times has managed to make 50 appearances for the club at a younger age.
When Del Piero was at Miretti’s age (20 years and one month), he had 35 appearances to his name.
On the other hand, when Marchisio made his senior Juventus debut in Serie B, he had already celebrated his 20th birthday.
Last summer, Miretti was repeatedly tipped to leave the club in search of more playing time. Nevertheless, he ended up staying in Turin and has been showing signs of improvement as of late.
The 20-year-old is still searching for his first senior goal since he wasn’t able to pounce on a host of inviting chances to break his duck for the club.
Seriously, you’re trying to compare Miretti with Del Piero and Marchisio?? Miretti doesn’t even have one tenth of the talent of those two Juve icons. The kid plays like a headless chook and should have been loaned out because he is stopping Fagioli from developing. he only gets games because he has the same agent agent as Allegri.
When del piero making his debut, juve have many stars. same with marchisio. while miretti just fighting his spot against locatelli, mckennie, fagioli, rabiot, pogba, paredes etc and juve really poor right now, if he’s in marchisio or del piero era he must be played for empoli or lecce.
anyway hope he will become a good player for us
Not sure I agree with the comments. Miretti has a lot of room for development but the historical comparison is completely unfair for the same reasons described: times have changed and Miretti is the piece that Allegri currently has at his disposal. Respect to the comparison with Faggioli, they are suited to play different positions, in my opinion. The two things that Miretti would need to improve is accuracy both on passing and shooting and discipline, which at times, he lacks… Being younger than Fagioli, this is to be expected.
