PRIMAVERA, CLOSER TO QUALIFICATION

The five minutes of fire in the thrilling final match with the Blues sent AC Milan into orbit and propelled them to top of Youth League Group E. The Rossoneri, thanks to Dinamo Zagreb's comeback success over Salzburg, take the lead over the Austrians who are on on five points and climb to eight points in the standings, taking them to just one win away from access to the round of 16 with two days to go in the group stage.

The victory over the Londoners leaves many positive notes in the Rossoneri camp. First of all, the pride of having come out undefeated from the double clash with Chelsea, a club at the forefront in the development of the youth sector that in recent years has been able to bring several talents to the first team such as, for example, Hudson-Odoi, Loftus-Cheek, Mount, James, our Tomori and, only recently, new young promises such as Musiala, Chalobah, Gallagher and Broja. 

Secondly, the knowledge of the quality and depth of the squad at Coach Abate's disposal. In a match that seemed to be deadlocked, the energy to go beyond the obstacle came from an in-form Alesi and from the bench with the entries of Bozzolan and Longhi, capable of gettinging an assist and a goal, respectively, to double the score on their first touch of the ball. In the starting eleven, the growth of 17-year-olds Zeroli and Paloschi continues, while Stalmach and 16-year-old Parmiggiani are on the starting blocks. 

The positive feelings gained at the end of the success against Chelsea must be transformed into new lifeblood for the continuation of the season, even in Primavera 1 where last weekend's defeat against Empoli produced, despite the encouraging performance of Marko Lazetić, the most efficient of his team in creating chances and trying to find the goal in the match against the Tuscans. On Saturday, the match against bottom-of-the-table Udinese where they need to learn how to be consistent and get going again in the championship.
