For some making it to the Italian national team is a destination but for Manuel Locatelli it's just a new beginning. The 18 year old Milan midfielder was asked about joining Ventura's group at Coverciano:"I'm very happy, it was a very important experience and for that I can only thank the coach- he told Sky Sport- this is a special moment for me, I never thought that at this stage of my career I would be here. However I know I have yet to accomplish anything, I just need to work"
Locatelli was also asked about his role models:"I have always admired the way Pirlo plays and the serene way in which he goes onto the pitch. Another player I really like is Francesco Totti. The compliments I received? They all made me happy, but the most meaningful for me where the ones from my family"
