It is on the lips of the Italian press. He is considered the best technically trained footballer in his age group. We are talking about Nicola Zalewski - a 16-year-old Pole who is winning the hearts of Italians by playing for AS Roma.
Polish roots
Nicola is also a representative of Poland in the U-16 age category. The selector of the youth team - Przemysław Małecki - regularly appoints him to play. However, he was born in the Italian Pali. His parents immigrated to the Apennine Peninsula 30 years ago in order to find a better place to live. They live there until now.
AS Roma reached for it
He currently plays his home games at AS Roma as an attacking midfielder. It became famous after he led his team to victory against Lazio Rome. He made a big contribution to achieving the score of 7: 2. In the current season he played 20 games, scoring 5 goals.
Is Norway in the European Union?
Italian media are appealing to their soccer association to convince Nicola to represent their country's colors. In accordance with the regulations in force, there is nothing to prevent him from playing matches for the Italian national team in the future. So far it's all speculation - the most important task for him is to keep developing his football talent.
