Joseph DiChiara

[uno]

I don't know why i have this thought, but it seems to me, your U23 coach has no idea about Joseph's existance. It would be cool to remind the coach about such player, though i've no idea how.

As for pitch conditions - that's the worse pitch i've seen in Russian Youth competition in 10 years.

P.S.
President of our club said in his today interview, that because of poor performance of our starting Def Midfielder in 1st game, DiChiara could be given chance in next game to play in starting eleven

P.P.S.

video of Joseph's first game, he's №20

nice goal from him

Its nice that they have given him such a low number already! Taking into account the pitch it looks to be a good quality youth league, that would be unreal if he started for the senior team so soon already. Could you post a link to the match if he is starting?

[uno]

I don't think that number matters, cause players allowed to choose the number they want

of course, if he's in starting eleven i'll post a link

next game is on 21'st of march, 18-30 (GMT +3), by the way

thank you for the extensive coverage! As for the U-23 coach (or the CSA), I think they read the forum, don't they? If not they should, if only for info like this.

Those are some rough conditions.

Any idea on Joseph's thoughts about representing Canada?

If he gets a Canadian call up at any level, I'm pretty sure he'll take it.

Fantastic news. Here's hoping he hits the pitch on March 21. Looking forward to the update.

Joseph played 45 minutes (was subbed at half-time, when the game was done) in today's match against Cska Moscow - youth. Krylja Sovetov won 7-2. It looks like he's gonna be at least a sub for tomorrow match, cause coach gave him some rest today.

Some pics from the game, though none with Joseph

Maybe he was rested because they won 7-2!?

Good luck in your first team quest Joe!

We were winning 3-0 after half time, so definitely that's the reason he was subbed. good play by him, as I watched it myself. Good agression, tackling, marking, short pass from Joseph.

There were about 2 500 fans at the match, by the way. good for youth championship.

Match of First temas moved to 9th of April, due to bad pitch condition
