In today’s press conference in Milanello, Zlatan Ibrahimovic he spoke so also about Francesco Camarda:
Camarda asked van Basten for his blessing. How are you following it? What does it mean to have it? What does it mean to keep it? “Camarda is more talented than me at this age. Camarda is very important, he is the future of Milan but he doesn’t have all the responsibility on him yet. Our responsibility is to help him grow and protect him. He has a lot of hunger and desire to improve but we need to take it step by step. We are happy, he can be like many former Milan players who arrives in the first team after all the process.
For me, a club like Milan must have a strong youth sector and always create profiles of players who reach the first team: something must come out and for me too little comes out. This is why there is the under 23 project: from the Primavera there is the first team, the gap is too large. Camarda still has the body of a boy, which is why the under 23s are very important for us and we want to prepare the players for the adult game. We must accompany him step by step, not only him but also many others. We want to bring out more talent.”
