Verona 1-0 Milan Primavera: Winless run extended to five games for Abate’s boys

AC Milan Primavera suffered another tough defeat earlier today as Hellas Verona clinched all three points thanks to the odd goal. Ignazio Abate’s boys are now five games without a win in the league, which simply isn’t good enough. 

Following the heavy defeat against Fiorentina on Monday, Milan Primavera were hoping to bounce back with a necessary win against Verona today. Instead, however, they lost the game 1-0 and extended their winless run in the league to five games.

It was a rather bleak performance by the Rossoneri, with very few good chances, and they were punished by a free-kick goal on the edge of the box. The goal arrived after 52 minutes and Abate’s boys failed to recover from it, despite fielding a rather strong team.

As we saw last season, Abate has some work to do when it comes to consistency in the league. Witj Jan-Carlo Simic and Davide Bartesaghi back playing regularly with the side, one would expect a lot more and something has to be done in the coming weeks.

Real Madrid are up next in the UEFA Youth League quarter-finals, which will be en exciting one, but a better performance will certainly be needed then.
