AC Milan youngster Davide Bartesaghi has revealed the emotions he went through when he was asked to make his senior debut for the club against Verona.
Speaking to Milan TV (via Milan News) after the 1-0 victory at San Siro in which the kick-off was delayed due to a wet pitch, the 17-year-old was very honest about what the day meant to him.
Bartesaghi was a feature for Milan during pre-season but had not made an appearance during the season until he replaced Alessandro Florenzi with 15 minutes left to play against Verona.
He held his own and helped Milan to secure the three points, but he says he is still speechless about being asked to come on.
“It was an indescribable emotion, I am still speechless. It was unexpected… as soon as the coach called me, my legs got a bit wobbly with emotion. But now I’m happy about the debut,” Bartesaghi said.
Going further back in time, he explained how he got a similar feeling when he got invited to be a part of Milan’s training camp during pre-season where he ended up impressing.
“When I got the call to go on the training camp, I got chills. When I walked through the gates of Milanello I said, ‘I’m here and I have the chance to do it. Let’s continue like this.'”
I guaranteed if this kid make a mistake and let Verona score an equalizer, the genius pundits in here gonna crap on Pioli.
But he didn’t and Pioli still sucks, so your point is moot.
dont worry you suck more, literally useless fan, doesnt support the team and just complains
Look who is it, the guy who argues with everyone and tells them they’re not a fan.
We lose 5-1 to Inter and criticize Pioli and all you say is support the team, Pioli is amazing.
You’re content with the last 3 games? We had maybe 3 shots all game against Verona. That’s good enough to you?
The real question is do you actually support the team or do you want us to suck?
You want Milan to suck so you can come here and complain all day, as soon as Milan start winning your commenting slows down
very convinient for you, SUCH A GOOD FAN, 10/10
Milan won and I’m still commenting.
Do you have any valid points or you just run your mouth?
Right on cue, saying someone isn’t a fan.
Don’t worry your Mom will be home soon to warm up your Hot Pockets, I know you’re hangry.
Don’t bother with @Boulden. Anyone who criticizes the team or coach according to this donkey “isn’t a fan” lol. I guess he loved the Mirabelli/Fassone/Li era LMAO.
BTW – @Boulden is the former @Pioli – same kid
@Juro 100% true. @Boulden and @Tkoje are both most probably Giancarlo and Poli. They treat Pioli like some cult leader; you can’t criticize them, even if you have valid reasons to do so.
While u don’t support the team but supports only pioli, hence your dumb insults that have become incessant
While you don’t support the team but only pioli, and incessantly insults anyone that says facts over your daft opinionated support for pioli, if the coach does well, he wouldn’t be bashed, that’s a fact, but you supporting him when he’s doing badly is the brainless one
This @Forzamilan guy talks trash. Stop smoking !!! Pioli is clueless QED !
Finally another debut from our Primavera. Props to Pioli as well for the trust.
Finally another Primavera on the debut. Props to Pioli as well for the trust.
Now Pioli 4-2-3-1 is very strong than the 3-5-2 of inter Milan the reason inter defeated us last season was because they use their tactics well now Dumfries blocked Theo Hernandez from attack then we don’t have strong attackers now saelermakers and messias were not perfect for the left wing to compare to our deadly left wing now chukwueze and Romero last season we lack kessie we now depend on Diaz which lead to fatigue no Geroud supporter now we have gotten jovic and Noah Okafor ok Stefano Pioli we have gotten kessie replacement as musah now Diaz replacement as pulisic give this 4-2-3-1 a trial against our next opponent use musah then second half sub musah for pulisic use Romero to replace chukwueze then Noah for leao you will that Acmilan is tougher than you expect they will win is sure now Sassuolo used 4-2-3-1 to defeat Juventus while Juventus play (3-5-2) so you can see it. Sometimes in some matches may be against intermilan you can start 4-4-2 then second half like 72 minutes you revert it to 4-2-3-1
He looked decent when he came on. Impressive given the quality of the opposition
I thought Bartesaghi looked the part.
He’s quicker than he appears. Okafor had the afterburners on during that first run and Bartesaghi wasn’t blown away. Ran with him for a bit.
He adapted to a dramatic jump in game speed quite well.
Suspect he ends up a ball playing CB who can play on the left. But for now LB looks fine.
Mạnh mẽ lên. Chúc mừng chàng trai.
We have a back up for Theo. Florenzi, Bartesaghi. No worry from now.
We have great young players. Just give them playtime. And now its time to give Simic some minites!
