ROME YOUTH SECTOR – Vincenzo Vergine, responsible for the youth sector of the Rome, gave a long interview to Corriere dello Sport, where, among other things, he talked about the Giallorossi nursery and the Capitoline project in this sense. There was no lack of a comment on Mourinho, who in this period contributed to the launch of several Primavera players. An excerpt of his words:

The declarations of Virgo

How do you improve a youth sector that has extraordinary numbers?

“A young sector has several indicator sails to be evaluated. normally, however, team performances are used but the real big indicator are players who regularly appear on the first team. The youth sector of Roma
traditionally it is a huge reality. The owner wants to bring him within a few years to join the elite of youth sectors at an international level “.

An analysis of the starting point?

“Roma’s competitors in Italy today are Juve, Inter and Atalanta but I fear a gap compared to thirteen important clubs in which I include – in addition to those already mentioned – also Benfica, Liverpool, Arsenal. Roma has a great tradition, because it has the most important basin in Italy and has a great youth sector culture. Then there is the identity, many cheer for the team they play for and bring their children. Finally, property: the North Star can only be dared by property “

We have introduced the concept of Romanism, so dear to this property from many points of view …

“We want and must go and strengthen the territory. It is necessary to invest in professional and economic terms by establishing relationships with all the companies operating in the area. I have a complete picture, we’re going to forge stronger relationships, not top-down but horizontally, and they need to know that. We will respect their work because it will be our strength. We are working to identify the best tools “

We understand the relationship between Pinto, Mourinho and all this to be very strong, is it true?

“The coach came to see the Primavera games more than I have seen the coaches do in my career. Game after game, always sitting in the stands. You have to write the youth sector as a pyramid at the top of which there is a gate to Serie A. Tiago and Mou have opened that gate. And the message that Mourinho sends is that it is not only open to those who train with him, but to everyone “
