PRIMAVERA, NO STOPPING NOW
Focus
It's a two-sided coin: a schedule that from now until the end of March makes you play a lot and train a little also gives you a chance to make a big recovery and gain momentum. This is the case for the Primavera side, who were on a low after the Derby defeat at the Vismara. Three days after beating Empoli 4-0 they suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Inter, a step backwards which should serve as a wake-up call for them to make their comeback.
No drama, just a blip. It will be up to the team to prove that this truly is the case this Sunday at 10:30 CET (the eleventh Primavera 1 matchday) at Sampdoria's ground, a team in good form and higher up in the table. So far the young Rossoneri's league performance has been like a yoyo: victory, defeat, victory, defeat; consecutive wins have only come against SPAL and Sassuolo at home.
No half measures, no draws. It is exactly this lack of continuity that is one of the main issues that needs to be addressed as soon as possible, as Giunti emphasised. This is even more so the case because the gap from the playoff zone is a small one, regardless of the final knockout, at only two points away. Conviction and ambition, there's still everything to play for and the season is not over yet. No stopping now.
For now, the Derby that we've only just turned a new page on did nevertheless give Milos Kerkez his debut runout (class of 2003), a signing from the last Winter transfer window from ETO FC Gyor, a prospect with great talent who could be a star of the comeback. Another player worthy of mention who made his debut for Primavera 1 is Pietro Grassi (class of 2002), having already debuted in Coppa Italia.
