Max Allegri handed England U19 international Samuel Iling-Junior his senior team debut last night against Empoli.
The 19-year-old has been on the Bianconeri’s books since 2020, when he arrived from Chelsea.
He is a prominent member of the Bianconeri Next Gen team and has developed well.
His hard work for the Junior team was rewarded with that cameo from the bench and he enjoyed every moment of it.
After the game, he gave an interview and spoke about his satisfaction at being one of the few players to make his Juve debut under Max Allegri.
The youngster told Juve TV through Tuttomercatoweb:
“I am very happy, a special moment for me, the family, the people I train with every day. Soccer Series A. is different from C, there are so many things to understand and learn”
Juve FC says
Iling-Junior has earned his debut with the team and will motivate other youngsters at the club to stay focused and work hard.
The youngster has a great future ahead of him and he will become a regular for the senior team if he does not lower his level of performance in the youth team.
If he doesn’t have room to play there regularly, he could be loaned out.
