Former Italy U21 coach Paolo Nicolato has jumped to the support of Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli.
Fagioli has received a seven-month playing ban for placing illegal bets.
Nicolato, also discussing Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali and Aston Villa's Nicolo Zaniolo, told TMW: "When faced with children's mistakes, adults must ask themselves questions and reflect on the values they transmit.
"I am referring to coaches, teammates, managers, families and agents.
“I am sorry, I love all three of them, they have given me great satisfaction, they will always have my support."
