About the youth point on the first page
We all know that Ancelotti was averse to youth, but not playing young players is unfortunately a very real and serious problem in Italy. Lots of the big teams with promising players do not play youngsters for right reasons as well as wrong ones.
Besides its possible that the Primavera wasnt that great anyway. We probably didnt have many outstanding players.

It's true Ancelotti was forced to play him, not because of his status but rather because he didn't have better options. I think Maldini should have retired after Athens. His last two years at Milan were a complete waste.
