Introduction to Italian Football
00:00:02
Speaker
Welcome to the Italian football podcast.
Lazar Samatic's Career Prospects
00:00:05
Speaker
A couple of other young players at Udenezer I want to ask you about. First of all, Lazar Samatic, who he was considered a wonder kid when he was in Germany. And he was wanted by teams like Barcelona, like Juve, Juventus a few years ago.
Unique Skills of Lazar Samatic
00:00:21
Speaker
And now he's obviously at Udenezer. And I really like him, what I've seen of him. And how much potential do you think Samatic has? We have a lot of potential.
00:00:32
Speaker
a lot of potential and for me, if you keep going like this, you'll be the one that everybody expects to be because it's amazing how we touch the ball is different. Sometimes I joke with these guys, I said, if you give me just 10% of your technique, I will be a big player. But this guy have a left foot there.
00:01:01
Speaker
surprised me a lot. Sometimes I do things on the training. The goals that he did in Serie A, you see, you see he's a different guy.
The Rise of Simone Pafundi
00:01:10
Speaker
I like him a lot. He has a lot to prove and to show you guys. Because for me, he shows me already in the training.
00:01:18
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Well, I think you've got lots of technique as well. I think you're being very modest. And another another player, even younger, Simone Pafundi, who's 16 years old. And last month, he became the youngest player in 100 years to play for Italy. And he's been called by some big tag. He's been called by some of the Italian Messi. I mean, tell us how exciting is Pafundi? He's very young, of course.
00:01:46
Speaker
No, he started to see Sipa Fundi grow up, to see Sipa Fundi improve. But he is a really calm guy, he don't let nothing go under his mind, so he's very calm, stabilized, and he plays like... He's a big, big... For me, he's a good, good player, nice, nice potential. So, when he grew up,
00:02:14
Speaker
We will see him. Yeah, we certainly will.
