ROSSONERI CHILDREN

From Carlo Cudicini to Daniel Maldini, the gallery is rich and prestigious. On Wednesday afternoon, in the match played by Milan Futuro in Grumello (in the Bergamo area) against Real Calepina, Clarence Seedorf's son, Denzel, made his debut for the Rossoneri. A midfielder like his father, Denzel played last season with AC Milan's Under-18 team. Born on 25 May 2007, just two days after AC Milan's last Champions League triumph in Athens against Liverpool, he was given his debut by Clarence's former teammate, who also played in that Athens match, Massimo Oddo. He is the second son of an artist to represent the AC Milan project on the pitch, after Maximilian Ibrahimović, who moved to Ajax during the season. Sons of great players, with glorious parents who hold AC Milan in their hearts.

The situations are not all the same. When his father George was a champion with AC Milan, Timothy Weah had a spell with the Rossoneri but failed to fall in love with the team's colours. Ruben van Bommel, the son of Mark who became a Scudetto winner in 2011 alongside Allegri and Ibra, is different. He often speaks about his love for AC Milan, dreaming of wearing his father's shirt one day. In recent years, it's also been a full Rossonero story for the young goalkeeper Lapo Nava and his father Stefano. Both rose through the ranks of the AC Milan Youth Sector and Nava senior, former defender, also played in the first-team for four seasons, as an understudy to the irreplaceable Franco Baresi and Alessandro Costacurta. Returning to today, Denzel has been part of the Rossoneri's youth sector since a young age, making his way up from the Under-13s.
