Milan Futuro were always likely to have growing pains in their first season in Serie C, but there is some worry about the lack of results and above all the lack of goals.
As Calciomercato.com write, Daniele Bonera’s returned from the away game at the Stadio Romeo Neri in Rimini with an undeserved 1-0 defeat. They were on top throughout the game, they hit the crossbar through Mattia Liberali and yet the end result was zero goals and zero points.
Daniele Bonera fired a warning after the game that good performances must soon turn into wins otherwise there will be trouble in the table. The objective that the management set since the birth of the project is about growing young players, yet staying in the division is an obvious minimum.
The path foresaw initial difficulties that have promptly materialised with two draws and three defeats in the first five games. It would be wrong to press the panic button just yet but there is a sense of responsibility to start getting some wins.
However, having Francesco Camarda and Liberali available more (after a couple of senior call-ups) plus Hugo Cuenca and Chaka Traorè is good news, meaning Milan Futuro must do better in front of goal having scored zero times from open play.
And the experts in here are complaining about talents not being used in first team.
Honestly, Even if Bonera is twice the coach he was a player, this team won’t win until the end of the fixtures.
Haha man i hated Bonera when he played for Milan.. allright i give you this, you are probably correct.
Lol, I was about to say: 10-15 years ago Bonera was the “Calabria” of today for lots of fans. The comments were on Goal.com then, before it became EPL.com.
To be fair when Bonera arrived from Parma he wasn’t a bad player but as time went after his injuries even I wanted him to leave. If I should compare Calabria to anyone it would be to Abate and I always liked both of them when most didn’t 🙂
For about 30m we seem to be learning that Primavera is not well placed as _the final_ stepping stone to the first team.
Good info. But we already suspected as many make statements about the size of the jump.
Now we have Futoro and all these talented youngsters have a place to further develop so that more of them are more ready.
Thanks Gerry (bring it Rino)
maybe try Seedorf?
Amazing. Barca seem to have 17 year olds playing on their juggernaut in La Liga. Some of these kids looked great in the preseason. I know it’s the preseason but you play to the level. Would love to see camarda zeroli and Liberali some minutes on the first team.
Zeroli already got 11 minutes this season so that is one in the first 5 matches which isn’t too bad either.
