Hungary coach Rossi: Iling-Junior the pick of Juventus whizkids

Hungary coach Marco Rossi has been impressed by Juventus whiz Samuel Iling-Junior this season.

Rossi admits he's a fan of Juve's young players.

He told Tuttosport: "I liked them all, Fagioli, Miretti, Soulé... But The one who gives me the feeling of having more room for improvement, due to the physical overwhelming power he has, is Iling. When he starts he releases his strength and in addition he is also very technical.

"He needs to improve a little in his choices in the last quarter of the pitch, where he can become more decisive, and he will certainly improve with the experience and with the continuity of employment it will have in the future.

"Juve has had a year that to define as very troubled is an understatement, Allegri has had to suffer an infinite number of criticisms and assaults even from those who are columnists with few or no titles. Many times I happened to think that he really has an incredible character, because he has been under pressure all season and the appreciation of all these young people has gone almost unnoticed compared to an exasperated criticism.

"He has certainly made mistakes like everyone else, but in a season of infinite difficulties from which he has been able to emerge head-on in many cases."
