MILAN – In a season like this, when Antonio is reaping the rewards for the seeds he’s sown in his career, it was just a matter of time before a week like this came along. Nocerino scored against Juventus on Saturday, starting what looked like a Rossoneri win and getting his goal number 8 so far this season, a new club record for a midfielder. Romeo Benetti got 7 back in the 197 season. This evening in Genoa against the USA, Antonio will start the match for Italy (“the six midfielders I have here in Genoa are all starters”, said Pradelli yesterday) at the Marassi stadium. It’ll be his 9th appearance for the national side and his third start. On Saturday, Nocerino will go back to Palermo, a city that he loves and can never stop talking about. The fans’ and the city’s love are never far from the thoughts of the Rossoneri midfielder, whether in public or in private.
