The former bricklayer played for the Italian national team. In five years he rose from a minor league to the core of the European champions.

At the age of 17 Federico Gatti was on loan in the Italian lower divisions. His father was laid off at work, and Gatti took a job as a bricklayer. To make ends meet.

Federico quickly swapped bricks for a tape measure - he helped a familiar window man with measurements. In the evenings he practiced and slowly climbed up the alphabet of the Italian Series. It was only last summer that an option with Frosinone from the second division came up. Gatti forgot about moonlighting and had the best season of his career. So much so that Juve called him during the winter.

The whole family of the defender are Torino fans. But after the call even Gatti's grandfather cried from happiness. The grandson finished the season on loan and yesterday he put on the blue national team shirt. In his debut match, Federico stopped both Abraham and Kane and Sterling.

Hollywood storyline.
