Fiorillo Vincenzo
Vincenzo Fiorillo is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper. Born in Genoa, Fiorillo started playing football in Nuova Oregina Calcio from the Oregina neighborhood of Genoa. In 2004, he was transferred to local Serie A side, U.C. Sampdoria. He remained within Sampdoria’s youth ranks for 5 years, and on 10 April 2008 he was part of the first ever Sampdoria Primavera squad to win the Coppa Italia Primavera. In the final he saved two of four penalties in the shootout against Atalanta, thus securing victory for Blucerchiati. He also won the first ever Campionato Nazionale Primavera for Sampdoria, after he finished as the runner-up with the club in the 2007 edition. Originally considered a rising star, being even compared to Gianluigi Buffon, Fiorillo made his Serie A debut on 13 April 2008, against Reggina. Fiorillo was a regular member of the national youth teams until his 20th birthday, after which he failed to play for a professional team regularly.
