The national team made 52 appearances.
Montolivo was born in 1985 65438+ 10/8. His father is Italian and his mother is German. Therefore, during the 20 12 European Cup, his sneakers and his left and right feet were printed with national flags symbolizing his parents' nationality. Montolivo's birthplace is Caravaggio, a northern Italian town, which is only 30 minutes' drive from Milan, but geographically belongs to Bergamo province.
Growing up, montolivo was not interested in other sports except football. This concentration made him successfully enter the Atlanta Youth Training Camp, one of the best Italian star production lines. "If you want to ask me what's so special about the youth training camp in Atlanta, I can't say it." Due to the lack of comparison with other clubs, montolivo's answer is honest. "Training in Atlanta is more like an education. They will pay attention to your grades in school, teach you how to arrange your life reasonably and tell you the meaning of life. " At the Atlanta Youth Training Camp, montolivo's technical ability has been fully developed. In tactical position, he is not completely stereotyped. Sometimes he plays the front waist, sometimes he plays one of the double front waists, and sometimes he plays the left midfield in the 4-3-3 formation. After being honed by the Youth League, montolivo entered the Atlanta first team for the first time in 2002-03, but he didn't even get 1 minute all season. In the summer of 2003, Atlanta was relegated to the second division, and the club once again used their usual lifestyle-selling some main players and then using the excellent products of the youth training camp to fight for the second division. Montolivo got the most important opportunity in his career. In the second division, he played 465,438+0 in 42 rounds and scored 4 goals to help Atlanta return to the first division.
On September 12, 2004, montolivo ushered in the first league match of his career: Atalanta coached by Zeman drew 2-2 with Lecce. "The easiest game in the first division is also the most difficult game in the second division. In the first game of that season, we were always in the lead, but a small mistake led to the equaliser of the other team. In the second game against Inter Milan, Adriano's goal was actually a foul first. If the results of the first two games were more favorable, maybe that season would be different … "In the summer of 2005, Atlanta was relegated to the second division again.
In the summer of 2005, Fiorentina made an offer to Atalanta, first buying half of the ownership of Montori Vaud, and then buying the remaining half in 2006. In August 2005, montolivo officially moved to Florence, avoiding the fate of playing in the second division with the club. Florence Sports Manager is a Covino who just jumped from Lecce and is an expert in tapping the potential of young people. The first thing he said to montolivo was very similar to what Fabini said. "We don't want everything to come too fast. You mean an important investment, and you must grow quietly. " Montolivo lived in the dream of praise and "No.10" since childhood. Some people regard him as the "Little Zidane" of Atlanta Youth Training Camp. His two favorite players, antonioni and roberto baggio, are both technical geniuses who played in Florence. He often takes Totti as an example and appreciates another former Florence 10 Rui Costa's skill of dribbling forward with his head held high. No one can tell which way this talented boy will go 10. This is due to the special training system of Italian football. In South America, technical players are often encouraged to exert their technical ability to the extreme, and talented players emerge one after another, but they also produce a large number of players with insufficient skills and obvious weaknesses. The cautious attitude of Atalanta and Florence towards montolivo is precisely the hope that he will gradually become more comprehensive. Coach Prandelli recalled, "He played mainly in the front waist at Atlanta Youth Training Camp, but he often encountered many difficulties when holding the ball with his back to the goal. Last year, in our 4-2-31formation, montolivo sometimes played behind Tony, around Joergensen and fiore. His skill is very good and the distribution of the ball is reasonable, but he often fails to grasp the timing of forward insertion, thus wasting his original shooting skills. " The Fiorentina coach said, "Therefore, we decided that the most suitable position for him is the left-back of the 433 midfield and tried to cultivate his relevant technical and tactical abilities. We let him learn to help defend, make up positions and organize a ball attack in training. At the same time, montolivo still has the potential to become a midfielder in front of the defense line. "
Montolivo also agrees with Prandelli's point of view, "I came to Florence in August 2005, and the whole team has completed the tactical preparation period, so I can only watch and blend in. When I played for the Atlanta youth team, I played in the position of 433 in the left midfield. This is the position that suits me best. " Prandelli's assistant Florence physical fitness coach Venturadi said, "His comprehensive quality is very good. We especially managed to increase his strength and muscle density, and significantly reduced his body fat rate. It is easy for montolivo to give his opponent a sense of slowness on the court. In fact, he is not slow at all. On the contrary, he combines flexibility, skill and flexibility very well. His innate lightness saved him a lot of physical exertion. "
Montolivo played in Florence for seven seasons. In the 20112 season, he decided not to renew his contract with Florence and was ready to join AC Milan on a free transfer.
On May 2012 17, AC Milan officially announced that montolivo had joined the club for four years. 2012165438+1October 25th, AC Milan played Juventus, and montolivo wore the captain's armband.
