Luciano Spalletti is preparing another Italian revolution and is paying ever greater attention to the young talents on the rise for his Italy. The latest news, complete with a pre-call-up announcement like Maldini from Monza, comes from the Giallorossi Roma and is called Niccolo PisilliCapitoline revelation.
Midfielder born in 2004 who had already widely highlighted himself in his militancy with the Roma Primavera, he seemed not to suffer at all from the leap to the older players. His official debut almost a year and a half ago, with his substitution at the end of the home championship match lost against Inter in May 2023. A minute plus injury time, too little time to really make himself known. If the first was short, the second was unforgettable for Pisilli: on 14 December he took over in the Europa League match against Sheriff, also finding the way to the goal in the spare time available to him.
This season, he seems to have taken the path of definitive affirmation. On tiptoe, always starting on the bench until the moment in which De Rossi, his great sponsor after having taken the first steps with Mourinho instead, decided to break the deadlock and start him for the complicated match on the Juventus pitch , then drawn 0-0. He never leaves there again, not even with Juric: the only time he started from the bench, last Sunday against Venezia, he still made a decisive impact. The coach’s eyes are also focusing on him, the opposite is impossible considering how Pisilli is letting people of the caliber of Paredes or the expensive summer purchase Manu Kone slide behind him in the hierarchies. We are talking about a player on whose altar, for example, Roma decided to sacrifice another of their own sons like Bove.
