Young striker Destiny Elimoghale of Juventus shines at the Italian U19 team
Destiny Elimoghale, striker for Juventus and the Italian U19 team, spoke about the opportunity to debut for the team and her dreams, with influences from Neymar and Rafa Leao.
In an interview with Tuttosport, Juventus striker Destiny Elimoghale, born in 2009, shared about his feelings during the training camp of the Italian U19 Team. He began with thoughts about the European Championship: "We wanted to prove our worth. In the match against Croatia, we lacked a bit of determination in the penalty area. Making our debut for the national team was special. After our own efforts and the support from our families, our efforts paid off. I am very proud to wear the blue shirt, and will try to maintain that for many years to come, possibly to a bigger team."

Is there any special advice from coach Bollini that you take with you? "He wants me to have more freedom when I have the ball, without fear of making mistakes. Relationship with Padoin? We have a very good relationship, constantly in contact. Padoin always reminds me to be more realistic in scoring situations. I am very self-critical and always listen to advice from coaches."
Who do you admire? "I always admired Neymar, especially when he played at Santos. But people say I look like Rafa Leao and have similar movements to him. I also like Juventus player Yildiz."
