Italy U21, Silvio Baldini: “Ekhator is very strong, Juventus will realise it. Camarda must get all the negative things out of his head”

Silvio Baldini, Italy Under-21 head coach, speaks the day before the friendly against France: his comments on Camarda, Lulli, Ekhator and Inacio.

Ahead of tomorrow's 6.30pm match in Laval, Baldini discusses some of the players called up for the fixture, as reported by Tuttosport.

On Camarda

"He needs to put all the negative things out of his mind. He needs to remember that he is a very young player who is already playing in Serie A and for the national team. He was born in 2008 and will be with us for our next two-year cycle too. He needs to play without worrying and enjoy training."

On Lulli

"I saw his development at Roma and called him up. I didn't know him and only knew that he had stood out in the Primavera. I didn't think he would break through so quickly. He came here with us and immediately settled into the group."

On Ekhator

"Ekhator is an exceptionally good player and I think Juventus will realise it. He wants to improve and is more mature than his years. He reads situations on the pitch with great clarity."

On Inacio

"Inacio is a very talented young player and will get his chance."
