Francesco Camarda’s talent is blatant, and a shirt with his name and the number nine seems destined one day. However, that can only be the case with time.
Bringing youth players into the first team picture is ideal for all involved, especially when that player is a fan of the club, which Camarda is. The pinnacle of it all is when the youngster is clearly of the required level, which Camarda is.
You don’t make a Serie A debut at 16 if you’re not good enough. Three coaches do not speak the world of you and your future if you’re not good enough.
In many ways, it would be easy just to bring him into the first team and let him acclimatise now. However, is that the right thing to do? Well, the answer is not so simple, unfortunately.
Yes, we are currently seeing the bracket of players breaking through drop, and here is where we can reference Lamine Yamal with Barcelona, who has played 100 games for the club whilst only being 17 years old.
However, there is the debate of longevity to be had, and whilst Yamal is brilliant, there are already slight reservations from some about his ability to do this in years to come – we have already seen players burst onto the scene young and struggle later on, see Raheem Sterling, for example.
The flip side of that debate is that you want to have him roaring to go at the earliest convenience; it benefits everyone if Camarda turns up at Milanello in the summer ready to lead the Rossoneri’s team. Of course, though, this is rather unlikely.
So, how can or, better yet, should the Diavolo mould the striker’s future for both of their own benefits?
In the meantime, whilst a decision is made, you can find bonuses and betting at Sports Interaction, which is a good way to pass the time.
Whilst the Milan Futuro project remains an option, we would ideally look past this, given he has had a wavering experience in the division whilst looking more comfortable in Serie A – something which is not too much of a surprise considering the top flight is more technical, whilst Serie C is more physically demanding.
Senior football, then, is a must, and there has already been heavy interest in his services, but again, the move must be right.
For example, moving to a top European league away from Serie A may bring the same struggles as this year, whilst also taking him away from home, which is always a risk with younger talents.
Ideally, Monza would have stayed in the top flight, considering the location and roots of the club are ‘ideal’, if you will, for the Rossoneri to keep a close eye on Camarda, whilst having the trust of his future.
Of course, though, we do not live in an ideal world. That does not mean interest will be short in the star, and the Diavolo will be able to find a Serie A team suitable for being his next step because, realistically, it is not a case of if, but rather when for Francesco Camarda.
