Inter Youth Sector: never before

MILAN
– It had
never happened before. As the slogan on inter.it says,
but more important, as the history of the Italian youth sector from
1984 until today says: never before had any club managed to win three
out of the four national youth championships until F.C.
Internazionale did this season.

The
Scudetto Primavera, the Scudetto Juniores-Berretti and the Scudetto
Giovanissimi.
To these three titles we can add the first ever European
championship, which the Primavera team won: The
NextGen Series.
Not to be forgotten are at least three other tournaments in the
various categories: the Arco
di Trento for
the  Allievi (who
went on to reach the semi-finals of the championship), the Memorial
Gaetano Scirea and
the national stages of the Manchester
United Premier Cup once
again for the Giovanissimi.

To
sum it up this has been a record season for these great young
Nerazzurri stars.

If
you look back over the list of Italian Youth Sector trophy winners
which was published in the last issue of "Sprint
& Sport",
a weekly magazine dedicated to professional and amateur youth
football, you can see for yourself  that what Inter achieved
last season had never been done before. Torino is the only team, in
the 1988 season, who can claim they won three Italian titles (the
Scudetto with the Primavera and Juniores-Berretti teams), but one of
them was a Coppa Italia (Primavera): so the Granata won three titles
but by two teams, but all of Roberto Samaden‘s 
men won 4 with three different teams.

Congratulations
to all of those players who did their bit, whether it was big or
small, working to make the Inter Youth Sector as it stands today,
the best in Italy and the first in the history of the Champions of
Europe.
