Striker Mosconi from Internazionale's Primavera team was interviewed by Vivo Azzurro TV, discussing his Serie A debut, his upbringing, and his experience training with the senior squad.

Mosconi said: "I'm turning 19 this year. I have many areas to improve, but also many strengths. Speaking of weaknesses, I have to admit that I still need to work a lot on my personality, because sometimes I can be very impulsive and instinctive. I enjoy having fun, joking around with others, and I'm also happy to help people. I'm the type of player who can brighten up the dressing room atmosphere."

Talking about his upbringing, Mosconi said: "I grew up in Grosio, in Valtellina, and started playing football at the local pitch when I was 4 years old. After the team coached by my father disbanded, I went for a trial at Legnano, where I scored 29 goals in 5 games. This caught the attention of scouts from both Internazionale and AC Milan. I decided to choose Internazionale, so I went for a trial and was accepted.

"At first, commuting back and forth was very difficult, so after talking with my parents, I moved to Monza. But a week later, I didn't want to stay anymore because I wasn't ready for such a big leap and such a big change. So I decided to go back home. Three or four days a week, my father, mother, uncle, and grandparents took turns driving me to training, and the whole family supported me. I'd leave school early after class, pick up food from my grandmother's house for the trip, and then drive to the training ground. After about two hours of training, my mother would pick me up, and we'd usually get home around 11 p.m. It was the same routine every day."

Speaking about his first call-up to the Italian youth national team, Mosconi said: "My first call-up was for the U-15, to play in the Gradisca tournament. I wasn't on the list for the first training camp, which was a bit disappointing at the time, but I didn't get discouraged. I kept training hard, wanting to convince coach Fuvo to include me in the squad, and eventually I made it. Wearing the national team shirt is an honor that nobody simply hands to you. I know I have to give my best and not lose my focus and intensity, because there are many other boys who want to wear it."

Talking about winning the U-17 European Championship in Cyprus as captain, Mosconi said: "It was an enormous feeling, especially winning the European Championship as captain. An opportunity like that doesn't come around every day. It was a beautiful journey, both on and off the pitch. For me, that European Championship was won by the entire team."

Speaking about his Serie A debut, Mosconi said: "It was a very strong feeling and a matter of great pride. To be honest, I didn't expect it to happen. I want to thank my teammates and coach Chivu, who always supported me and believed in me. I trained with the senior squad after the Primavera playoff, sat on the bench 5 or 6 times, and then made my debut against Lazio. I could have scored then, but unfortunately the ball didn't go in. Later, I was also very fortunate to participate in the championship celebration against Verona and ride an open-top bus to the Duomo in Milan."

Speaking about training with the senior squad, Mosconi said: "I train with many top players, and Internazionale is a very strong team that can compete with any opponent in Europe. My idol is Lautaro, and I try to imitate him and learn from him. He's a very good captain and always knows the right thing to say to each teammate. I'm also learning from Pio Esposito, who really has the potential to become very strong because his technical and physical qualities are excellent."

Regarding his future, Mosconi said: "I'll tell myself to keep working hard, to give my best every day, and to seek continuous improvement. Don't get carried away just because you think you're great. To achieve this kind of success, you have to work hard. Most importantly, I hope to make my parents proud of me."
