Lucas Piazon’s Serie A debut eight years later

He could have tasted the Serie A fields as early as 2011, when Juventus had looked for him and brought him to Turin only to then sign for Chelsea and fly to England .
Tonight at the Bentegodi stadium in Verona against Roma, Lucas Piazon should make his Serie A debut with the Chievo shirt.

Borrowed from the Blues in the winter transfer window, the Brazilian born in 1994 will make his debut in the Italian championship 8 years afterto have come close if he had arrived in Turin .
Completely different destinies and situations compared to a few years ago. Juventus was growing after the dark years but was about to experience one of the best years with Antonio Conte as coach; the clivensi, on the other hand, are now last in the standings and need points to ward off the ever more present shadow of Serie B.

However Piazon has decided to accept the offer of the Venetians to get involved in a difficult championship like the Italian one and maybe it will be a way to demonstrate his quality for what many defined as the “new Kaka”.

Di lui Just like the former Rossoneri Ballon d’Or, Piazon arrived in Europe from San Paolo in January 2012 , to fly to London. The British bought the then 17-year-old for 7.5 million euros, offering him a contract of one million euros. One of the primary reasons for his failure to land in Turin was his engagement .
I am honored not to have taken Piazon under these conditions. It would not have been ethical to pay such a high salary to a minor!
the former Juventus CEO, Beppe Marotta , would have said a few years later .
The experience with the Blues, still, has not been the best.
After good appearances with the youth team with which he wins the FA Youth Cup and the “Best Young Chelsea” award , he makes his debut with the first team, but will only make three appearances . The Brazilian, in fact, over the seasons runs a bit in the various European championships: Malaga (Spain), Reading and Fulham (England), Vitesse (Holland) and Eintracht Frankfurt (Germany).
Among his best seasons, certainly the two he just spent in the Cottagers’ ranks in the Championship and the one in Eredivise with Vitesse in 2013/14 .

In Holland, the satellite club of the Blues , he made 31 appearances with 11 goals and 8 winning passes . With the London bianconeri , on the other hand, he played 58 games enriched with 12 goals and 9 assists that helped the team reach the playoffs and the subsequent promotion to the Premier League.
Back at Chelsea, he hoped Sarri would give him some chance. At the court of the former Napoli coach, however, he only managed to get a call-up on the bench against Tottenham, in the League Cup. From this situation the idea was born to try the Italian experience with Chievo , who got it on loan with the right of redemption.
The choice to come to Italy derives from my desire to return to being a protagonist on the pitch and fight for something.
The clivense environment could certainly benefit him and could be the right place to demonstrate the value that everyone was amazed at in 2011, when he managed to lead the U17 Brazil to triumph in the South American Championship of the category.
