Overview

• At their first Coverciano press conference, Niccolò Cambiaghi called the selection a dream, recalled returning from a serious injury last season, and credited coach Italiano for backing him.
• Hans Nicolussi Caviglia said he intends to convince the coach through his play, defining himself as a midfielder who likes to play vertically.
• They outlined their inspirations, with Nicolussi citing Johan Cruyff’s vision and studying Andrea Pirlo, and Cambiaghi naming Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Chiesa for his role.
• On the Oct. 14 match in Udine against Israel, Nicolussi referred to FIGC president Gabriele Gravina’s stance and said every war is a defeat for humanity.
• Both are 2000-born products of top academies—Cambiaghi at Atalanta and Nicolussi at Juventus—who advanced via loans, with Italian reports noting transfers that generated roughly €10 million and nearly €5 million in reported profits.
