Luongo, Cereser and more: the stars of the Toro champion of Italy Under 17

Born in Naples, raised in the Gioventù Partenope, at Torino since the summer of 2023. Mezzala or trequartista, he is one of the most promising talents at national level. He was twice captain of the Italy Under 17 in the recent European Championship of the category, in blue he already has two goals. This season he has scored 8 goals in 23 games played with the granata shirt up to the final in Frosinone. Against Udinese he came on in the second half and was glacial in converting the penalty for 2-1, sending the ball under the crossbar. Last year he signed his first professional contract, expiring in 2028.

A Granata since 2018, when he joined the Esordienti B, David Bonacina is a winger who loves to vary on the attacking front: he starts from the left, but also looks for spaces elsewhere. Great technique, present and capable of reading situations on the pitch, he was the one who suffered the foul that led to the winning penalty against Udinese, on a splendid play by Bianchi. He has played 26 games in the U17 championship with seven goals scored and 4 assists.

Gabriele Falasca is the first striker of Rebuffi's team. Among his main characteristics there is certainly opportunism, the ability to read the game, the opponents he faces and to adapt to be able to exploit the situation. Twenty-six appearances this season with the Under 17, he has scored 16 goals - double the amount compared to last season, when he was in the Under 16 -, managing to be decisive even when he started from the bench. He has already made his debut with the Torino Under 18.

Central defender, born in 2008, who arrived last summer from Lascaris - but had already worn the Granata when he was younger - Luca Cantarella combines technique with a notable physicality. The timing and manner of the header that led to the goal of the lead against Udinese in the semifinal on Wednesday in Latina explain how dangerous he can be in attack too. A silent leader, he combines technique with character. With his left-footed partner Manuel Carrascosa, he forms a very solid pair.

The surname evokes sweet memories for the most long-time Granata fans. However, no relation to Angelo, “il Trincea”, free from 311 appearances in Granata between 1962 and 1975. Francesco lived the last years in Granata and reached the final with 20 games played as a starter, six of which ended without conceding goals. Decisive against Udinese thanks to a couple of providential interventions, he is among the elements who have grown the most this season.
