#ACMILANTOGETHER: THE WEEKLY UPDATE

FONDAZIONE MILAN JOINS MILAN’S FOOD AID PROGRAM

This week, after the first fundraising intended for AREU (Agenzia Regionale per l'Emergenza e Urgenza), Fondazione Milan has joined "Milano Aiuta", Milan's Municipality's program whose goal is to support the families in need by distributing food packages.

"DEAR ITALY, TOGETHER, WE CAN DO IT!": FEDERICO MASTROIANNI'S WORDS AND HOPE, A YOUNG ROSSONERI FROM THE U11S

"Dear Italy". So begins the letter of hope to the country during this long and difficult time we shared across all the Club's platforms on 25 April. It provides a message of togetherness and support, of strength and courage, and above all, of hope. These are Federico Mastroianni's words, a player from the Rossoneri Youth Sector with the U11s, the words of us all, in particular those boys who can't wait to return to living and playing like before: "Italy, no virus can ever defeat you. I'm latching onto you and urging you that you're not alone. Together, we can do it!".

AC MILAN'S PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LITERACY PROJECT

The Physical Activity Literacy project for the 2019/20 season has now come to a successful conclusion. This year, the coaches from the AC Milan Academy football school assisted physical education teachers from 26 primary schools with 100 hours spent at each school conveying a series of principles to help teachers manage P.E. lessons autonomously and in the most effective way possible.

AC MILAN AND MASTERCLASS TEAM UP FOR #ACMILANTOGEHTER

The Club and MasterClass, the online education platform, have come together to offer the Rossoneri community new opportunities to engage in creative e-learning on a diverse range of topics including sports, cooking, film & television, photography just to name a few. Over the next twelve months the AC Milan community will benefit from free access to all 80+ classes through the "MasterClass All-Access Pass".

STEFANO PIOLI ONLINE WITH THE COACHING STAFFS OF THE YOUTH SECTOR

Despite the definitive suspension of the youth championships, with the exception of the campionato Primavera, the work of the Rossoneri youth sector continues. During last Wednesday's weekly coordination event chaired by Angelo Carbone, the coaching staffs of the various teams were involved in an online meeting with Stefano Pioli. It was a positive moment of discussion during which the coach of the men's first team showed how the weekly trainings and the preparation for the match are organised. Pioli shared a video entitled "The game model" and explained the models that the team tries to take to the pitch, highlighting the peculiarities that can be applied to each group: "We must make the players feel as if they were the leading actors, they must be key to the match, this is one of the features I try to convey to all of them. We are a team that wants to take a leading role in football."

TRAINING LIKE CHAMPIONS AND COOKING LIKE CHEFS

As we share the common passion for our colors, the Club and Puma launched a special collaboration featuring a series of video content that AC Milan is going to will publish on its platforms. In recent days, the trainer Stefano Brasetti presented a home training session just like our Rossoneri footballers do. Other training sessions will be available with different trainers. Tano Simonato, starred chef and great Rossoneri fan, explained how to cook easy but top quality recipes.

CLUB AND TECHNICAL AREA: UPDATE
