Official, Milan U23 in Serie C
We were just waiting for the official announcement, which arrived today, Thursday 27 June, with the note from Federal Council which ratified what has been known for weeks: Milan U23 will play in the next Serie C. With the exclusion of Ancona, the Rossoneri team coached by Daniele Bonera thus joins the “club” of the second teams of the big Serie A teams in Lega Pro, which until now had seen the Juventus’ Next Gen and theUnder 23 dell’Atalanta as the only ones represented.
The group draw
Tomorrow, Friday 28 Junethe young Rossoneri will also know their destiny, with the draws for the composition of the groups who will be able to say a lot about this first season among the “big boys”. First of all, because it will be necessary to find out where they will have to go and play. Atalanta, Juventus and the Rossoneri will not be able to return to the same group and one of the three will necessarily have to prepare for a season characterized by long transfers.
A daughter of Spring
Secondly, this first Milan U23 among the professionals it will be largely composed of young people and very young people “caught” mainly from the Primavera who did so well last season with Ignazio Abatealso becoming the first Italian team to play in a Youth League final, the Champions League for young people, then losing 3-0 in 6′ against the U19s of the GreeksOlympiakos.
Certainties, opportunities and first market hits
There will be, therefore, Francesco Camarda and Kevin Zeroli, maybe also Mattia Liberali, certainly Chaka Traore, Alex Jimenez, Hugo Cuenca and, unless they are permanently added to the first team, Davide Bartesaghi and Jan-Carlo Simić, without forgetting a certain IbrahimovicMaximilian, born in 2006, who is spoken highly of, the firstborn of the Zlatan who was just targeted by Antonio Conte.
To these, as underlined by Tuttosportthree new faces could soon join: the defender Gabriele Minotti and the attacker Mbarick Fall by Giana Erminio ed Emmanuel Salinesfull-back born in 2000 with 7 goals and one assist in 35 appearances with Foggia in the last season of Serie C.
Debut on August 25th
The U23 should have in the “Felice Chinetti” by Solbiate Arnoa stone’s throw from Milanello, their own stadium, even if the modernization works of the facility should postpone the first seasonal matches at the “Speroni” in Busto Arsizio. Almost certainly, during the week Bonera’s U23 will work closely with Paulo Fonseca’s first team. The first kick-off of Serie C will be fought next August 25th.
