[edit] Childhood and early career

Born in 1989, he's one of the best youngsters at Juventus, whom he joined since 2003 from the Veneto region. He comes to the Youth team after winning the Allievi title in 2006, ready to follow in Sebastian Giovinco's footsteps. He can play in any role up front; he hits the ball very well and scores often. That's way Claudio Ranieri called him several times to join senior team. Pasquato is a free kick specialist, he scored the one that won the Super Cup final against Inter Milan.[1]. He'd already scored the second during the match in August on Champions Youth Cup, and this time he opened the scoring with a fantastic free kick after 55 minutes; it was a Giovinco-style effort.[2]. But in that tournament Juventus lost the final against Manchester United by just one goal and had to "make do" with second place in the Champions Youth Cup in Malaysia.

[edit] International career

Pasquato has represented Italy at every youth level from under-15s upwards. On September 4, 2005, Pasquato with Italy U-17 win U17 Pepsi International Tournament by beat England 2-1.[3] England started the match knowing that a draw would be enough to hand them victory in this tournament, but looked intent on pushing for the win in the opening exchanges. With just five minutes on the clock West Ham's James Tomkins fired wide, and shortly after captain Joshua Walker clipped the bar from outside the area. However it was the Italians that took the lead as a well worked move saw Cristian Pasquato thread the ball through the English defence to Palumbo, who made no mistake with his finish, neatly chipping keeper David Button.
