MILAN - It was a winning Serie A debut for 18-year-old Marco Benassi and after the game the youngster was called up in front of the cameras to comment on what it meant to him. "It's a day I'll never forget, something I'll cherish forever," the midfielder beamed. "The other matches I played were good experience for me. I thank the coach, my team-mates and the club. What are my strengths and who was my idol as a kid? I like to play in front of the defence, building moves and breaking up play. I had a poster of David Trezeguet in my room. I'm not a Juventus fan but I loved him as a player, I don't know why."
What did Andrea Stramaccioni say to him before the game? "He just told me to stay calm and play my normal game, and he also gave me precise tactical instructions. Now I need to keep my feet on the ground and carry on training hard."
