GdS: Passion and empathy among Abate’s Primavera success secrets

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan’s Primavera side seem to be going from strength to strength under Ignazio Abate, and his methods have been praised.

As highlighted by Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan’s Primavera are looking down on everyone else from the top of the table like the first team are, despite being one of the youngest sides in the league.

The players know how much it means to Abate because of the passion he transmits, as we have seen many times through his celebrations after every goal. The fact that many players run over to the coach when the score says a lot about the bond.

Abate has built an excellent relationship with the youngsters and has understood how to bring the best out of them. There are players such as Scotti, Mancioppi, Sia, Bakoune and Parmiggiani who know him from when he was U16 coach.

This passion and intensity comes with empathy which makes him a good man manager, something crucial for the development of players at that age.

Those who have watched the Primavera in training can attest to a very high tempo, because Abate demands full effort and concentration. Abate’s assistant David Rodriguez has also played an important role in this sense.
