Roma 08/02/2010

Second place for the National Under 16 team in the Algarve tournament. In the final against Portugal, the Italians lost 3-1 after a match dominated from the start and decided at the very end. After finishing the first half 1-1 (the Roma forward, Verre, scored the goal for Italy), the team coached by Antonio Rocca took in the second goal by Portugal, more energetic in the end of the match thanks to the numerous substitutions made, and then the third goal at the end of the match. A second place finish that rewards the new Under team presented by the coach on this occasion. A tie in the debut match against Eire (0-0), a good win (3-1) against The Netherlands and the loss today against Portugal are the results recorded by the Italian team.
