Giacomo Beretta (born March 14, 1992 in Varese ) is an Italian football player on the position of a striker . He has been playing in the AC Milan youth team since 2009 and has been a sporadic member of the senior Italian squad since 2010, where he made his professional debut on May 1, 2011. For the 2013/14 season he plays on loan for US Lecce .

Club career

Career start at home

Beretta, who was born in the northern Italian municipality of Varese in the spring of 1992, began his active football career with his home club, AS Varese 1910 . He was active at the club near the Swiss border until 2008, before moving to the junior division of the nearby UC AlbinoLeffe . There he was finally used over an entire season before he headed for another club change. Although it was initially supposed to be given on loan, in the summer of 2009 the major club AC Milan secured the services of the young offensive player for a rumored transfer fee of 900,000 euros . As is often the case with transfers in Italy, his actual home club, UC AlbinoLeffe, retained joint ownership of Beretta's transfer rights and gave the trained striker to the Milanese . Once there, he helped his team, the club's U-20s, for whom he was mainly used, to win their first title in the Coppa Italia Primavera in 25 years. For the club's primary team, this was generally only the second title won in this competition after winning the 1984/85 season. Although he missed a few games due to an injury, he was a major contributor to the team's success. Before the start of the 2010/11 season , those in charge of AC Milan secured Beretta's complete transfer rights and made him a full member of the traditional Milan club. Nevertheless, almost three months later, CFC Genoa secured joint ownership of the young offensive player, who would therefore be eligible to play for both clubs. However, the Milanese Giacomo Beretta decided to allow match practice, and from then on he was increasingly used in the offspring.

Professional debut at AC Milan

Although he continued to play in the club's U-20 team, after being called up in 2010, Beretta was repeatedly brought into the professional squad with play in Serie A , the top division in Italian football , in the following year 2011 , where he finally did should make his professional debut in the current season 2010/11 . He was substituted on May 1, 2011 in a 1-0 win over Bologna FC in the 86th minute of play for the Italian international Antonio Cassano . After the professional team finished first with four laps to go, eight points ahead of their closest rivals, local rivals Inter Milan , the team secured the final title two laps to go and the associated participation in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League 2011/12 . As already mentioned, Beretta was also brought into the professional squad on other occasions. Among other things, during the winter break of the 2010/11 season in the friendly against Al-Ahli Dubai . In this encounter, in which Antonio Cassano played his first game for AC Milan, Beretta scored his team's 2-0 opening goal in the 73rd minute of the game, which ultimately led to a 2-1 final score.

National team career

Strong appearances in the U-17 national team

Giacomo Beretta had his first appearance for an Italian national team in early 2009 when he first appeared for the Italian U-17 national team. He made his debut on January 11, 2009 when he was substituted on at half-time in a 2-1 defeat against his colleagues from Russia . By January 17, he made three more international appearances, scoring a flawless hat trick in the game against Latvia and scoring a double in the subsequent game against Belarus. After the U-17 team had successfully qualified for the U-17 European Football Championship in 2009 in late autumn 2008 , Beretta and the team took part in the subsequent elite round. There, the Italians were able to prevail against their colleagues from Austria, Scotland and Georgia and thus secured their participation in the final round in May 2009. Beretta was able to enter the goalscorer list in each of the three games played in the elite round, and he was in each of the scored a goal in three games. At the European Championships in Germany , the Italians made it to the final round, where they finally lost 2-0 to the later European champions, the German U-17 selection . Up until then, the Italians had played four games, of which the trained striker was in action and even scored his team's only goal in the game against Switzerland (1: 3). After the European Championship appearances in May, the next appearances for the U-17 national team followed in October when he took part in the U-17 World Cup in Nigeria with the team . There he was able to establish himself again as a regular player and was able to play four of the five possible games of his team. He scored a goal in the game against his peers from the United States , a 2-1 win. Giacomo Beretta's commitment to the Italian national football team, for which he had played 15 international matches up to this point and was there, ended with his last outing, which also meant the Italians were eliminated from the current tournament, a 2-1 defeat against Switzerland scored ten goals.

Assignments in the U-20 and U-19 teams

After a generally quite successful time in the U-17 national team of his home country, the player, who was often used as a center forward, was brought into the Italian junior squad for the first time in March 2010, where he immediately made his team debut. He was used on March 3, 2010 in a four-country tournament against the U-20 national team of Austria and completed a total of two missions in this tournament. So far (as of May 17, 2011) there have been no further missions for the U-20 team in Italy . Instead, Beretta was appointed to the Italian U-19 squad in the same year. He made his debut on September 22, 2010 in a 3-1 friendly win over his senior colleagues from Serbia and was then used in two other, for him personally goalless friendlies in his home country until 2011.
