UNDER 16: PLENTY OF ENTHUSIASM

They showed what they were all about in their first three outings of the season, which saw them record comfortable victories over Hellas Verona, Brescia and SPAL. Against Atalanta, they continued their fine form. The Rossoneri's U16s are aiming to have a successful campaign, and they've made an excellent start in terms of results and performances. The group is a talented one and is largely composed of players who were crowned Champions of Italy with the U15s last season. They showcased their talents against an Orobici side who had won their first three league matches and kept three clean sheets in the process.

At the PUMA House of Football, AC Milan ran out resounding 4-1 winners following an excellent display where the team really showed what they’re capable of. Liberali opened the scoring early on with an excellent right-footed strike from the edge of the area, and then came a quick-fire double. First, Camarda made it 2-0 before the same player picked out captain Sala to score the Rossoneri's third after a lovely team move.

In the second half, after Atalanta had pulled one back, Dotta finished things off with a header inside the six-yard box following a well-worked corner routine. It was a game that saw Sala and Dotta bag for the first time this season, while Liberali and Camarda have now found the net five times. Overall, the Rossoneri have scored 17 goals during the first four matchdays. At the end of the regular season, the top two will directly qualify for the round of 16 of the national finals.

AC Milan currently sit five points ahead of third place and have the opportunity to further cement their position when they take on Cittadella on Sunday 30 October. "The lads interpreted the match in the best way possible, displaying focus and determination right from the get-go. They also showed intensity in both defence and attack," said Coach Baldo. "We managed to raise the bar again, even if there's still room for improvement in terms of our passing and tempo. We've certainly made a good start."
