I spoke with Klopp and Mancini/ Eye-catching and brilliant: all eyes on Bruges diamond!

Niccolo Tresoldi has become the shining star of European football these days.

"It was a crazy night, it was a dream," Tresoldi was emotional after his hat-trick at the San Siro, according to "Sports Three". He then spoke about his future while holding the award for the best player of the match: "For now I have to win the European Championship with Germany, then we'll see..."

Sunflowers have named his path and today they are turning towards him with pride. Tresoldi, the sun of Brugge, had imagined such a night dozens of times, perhaps wearing a Milan shirt and alongside his legend, Pippo Inzaghi, one with the number seven and the other with the number 9. It was a dream and now it has become a reality: a hat-trick against the Nerazzurri is one of those events that you never forget, especially when you are 22 years old and playing for the first time at the San Siro, the stadium where his father, Emanuele, a former defender of Atalanta, Ravena, Gubio and... played three times as a left-back.

Tresoldi did this while being a Milan fan and his phone was constantly receiving messages: "Milan fans sent me messages. From the beginning, we applied the press from above and did not let them breathe. For me, this game was like a derby. A real derby. It was a crazy night, it was a dream. "Everything happened in front of my family and friends and I still can't believe it." At the end of the match, he lay down on the San Siro grass and looked at the stands with tears in his eyes. Tresoldi is like that: honest, sincere, clean and always smiling. Those who know him always start from these characteristics.

Interestingly, the only time he played as an Italian player in the country was 10 years ago: in the 2016-17 season, he scored 12 goals for Fontanelle in the Gubbio youth regional competition, the team from the city where the Don Matteo series was filmed. He played next to a field full of sunflowers and close to a small sports complex that no one has yet forgotten there.

Marco Badini, his coach at the time, told us that even at that age, the young Nicolo would stay an extra hour after training to practice his moves as a striker: "I used to send him on as a striker, even though he wasn't physically ready. It was part of a project we had agreed upon with his father and the then head of the academy. Niccolo had never played football at such a level before."

Tennis should be blamed; A sport that he enjoys for a while. If you google his name, you can still find his rating updated as of 2017: 3.3. He trained with Luca Nardi: "I was among the best in Italy and I was a member of the U12 national team." He once said this with pride, because he always had a competitive spirit.

Tresoldi grabbed all the attention, even sending the ball into the top corner and celebrating like a true striker at the La Scala Stadium: a penalty kick that went straight into the top corner with confidence and responsibility, a steal and another goal from inside the penalty area. He has scored 9 goals in 11 games this season, he is the champion of Belgium last season and also holds the title of Mr. Goal of the last season of the Belgian league.

His Champions League goals have always come against the big teams: Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Monaco and Inter. As a child, he was rejected by Milan, Juventus, Bologna, Fiorentina, Atalanta and many other clubs. "We already have players at that level," they said. or "He also plays tennis..." In 2017, he moved to Hannover because of his mother's job. In Germany, where he scored 16 goals in 26 games for the under-21 team, he grew both in character and football. The doors of Germany were opened for him; The doors that were closed to him in Italy. As far as the sword of Damocles hanging over his football career: Italy or Germany?

"I have already spoken to Jurgen Klopp and Roberto Mancini," he said while holding the man of the match award. I explained to them how I look at this issue. For now, I'm enjoying being in the base teams and we'll see. We must win the European Championship; The same competition that my father won with Italy..." After a night like this, Italy and Mancini's hope is that he turns his attention to this team.
