VENEZIA
«A few words, many emotions, a dream come true. A day I will never forget. Debut in Serie A ». It was written by Nicolas Galazzi, the 20-year-old from Sant’Alessio who made his Serie A debut at the “Maradona” stadium against Napoli on the 29 ‘of the second half. The Venezia midfielder has forged ahead in recent years.
A football career that began a stone’s throw from home in Sant’Alessio, where he lives with his parents and brother. From the first kicks in Sant’Alessio where he remained up to the regional Allievi of the club of president Ezio Panigati, which in the meantime became Accademia Pavese. As a pupil in the regional championship he was called by the then technician Patricio D’Amico who made him debut in Excellence. At the end of the season, the first big step was when he joined Inter in a season between Inter Berretti and Primavera. Then the D series at Fanfulla and from Lodi passed to Vigor Carpaneto, always in the same category.
In the meantime, his contract with Inter expired, he was signed by Piacenza, the club where he became a starter in Serie C last year. under contract leaving him until the end of the season in Piacenza.
In the meantime, the lagoons have risen from B to A and with the first team of Venezia has begun the retreat. A few market rumors in recent weeks for his move to B to find more space as a starter and continue his maturation and growth, but the Venetian coach Paolo Zanetti employed him on Sunday evening in Naples making him debut in A. What is the dream that so many children and teenagers have for Nicolas Galazzi has become reality. A sign of trust in him on the part of the current coach. The coach and the club will then decide in this last week whether Nicolas’s maturation will continue in Venice or whether they will prefer to try to give him more time in the lower category.
Satisfaction, as well as from his family, also from Sant’Alessio, the club where he grew up and which will also have an economic benefit. A few tens of thousands of euros, according to the preparation award for clubs that have “raised” and registered a young series player.
Calculated according to some Istat parameters and which obviously reach the highest levels for those who go from amateurs to Serie A.
“An immense satisfaction because we are talking about a non-drained boy who grew up in Sant’Alessio where he played for ten years in the youth sector before joining Inter for his first professional contract, but also because he lives in Sant’Alessio – underlines Ezio Panigati, patron of the Pavese Academy -. A boy with technical qualities that were visible, but also human. A special day for him and for us too. I want to thank his family and in particular his uncle Sereno and his wife ».Enrico Venni
