AC Milan’s first training session of the pre-season, also known as the Raduno, took place earlier today and there were many fans present at Milanello. Down below, we take a look at the key bits from the session.
Stefano Pioli spoke to the media prior to the training session and you can read his press conference in full here. At 5 pm, the players headed out on the pitch and in addition to the fans present, many were watching on from home as Milan streamed the training.
The Rossoneri played an in-house friendly, as they always do for the Raduno, and the game finished 2-2 after goals from Divock Origi (brace), Junior Messias and Ante Rebic. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, the new signing, got the assist for the first goal of the game (see highlights here).
Another interesting thing to highlight is the skills of Hugo Cuenca, the Primavera star who got to train with the first team today along with a few other Primavera players. As you can see in the video below, he almost toyed with Milan captain Davide Calabria.
Geoffrey Moncada also made a rare appearance at Milanello today, along with the newly-appointed sporting director Antonio D’Ottavio. The trio, including Giorgio Furlani, is committed to improving the Milan squad on the market as was made clear by the CEO.
Luka Romero, just like Loftus-Cheek, made his first training for Milan and scored a nice goal in the build-up to the friendly. You can see the strike in the video below, which certainly got the appreciation of the fans present.
