for them!

Did they concede?

No

1-0 win

Then we can celebrate. Even if they only scored once.

It was a defender who scored, by the way. Morfeo.

Another cause for celebration is the performance of the Berretti this year (this is the team under the Primavera). They're in the Scudetto finals for their age group where they will face the Berretti from Juve.

The Giovanissimi C won the Torneo di Porto Cervo


3-2 on penalties

Penalties? Wankers!!

Berretti(the class of 1991) won the Scudetto against Juve 2-1 in the final.


Here are some pics

Angelili, Our Hero. He scored the decisive goal


All the guys


Rodney Strasser

Both Abate and Paloschi made the U21 final call up list.

Nice, good for them - Hope they keep improving!

Fishdoll cringe. Darmian's got a stress fracture of a bone in his left foot. Had surgery an dwill be out 2 months.

ouch Poor Darmian

Where is Darmian now? I think i read something a while back that he is with Mantova, is this true? And what of little Albertazzi, is he still with the Primavera?

darmain was loaned out while zlbertazzi is with milan squad not announced but he wil be in senior i guess

Darmian's at Padova -- but he broke his foot and will be out a month.

Albertazzi is still with the squad.

FYI, both DiGennaro and Paloschi have been called up for the U21s, who play today.

EDIT: And the Primavera beat the Ajax primavera yesterday, 3-1.

Padova are in Serie B right? Darmian should get some decent action with them i hope. The Primavera are looking to be quite good, i hope the players develop into world beaters. Have the new boys (Beretta is it, and Zigoni) been put with the Primavera?

Padova were just promoted into B, so yeah. Once healed, Darmian should get a lot of time.

Not sure where Zigoni and Berretta will be. Zigoni played a good bit during the summer tour with the grownups but he also played for the primavera in the recent tournament and scored against the Ajax kids yesterday.

I think Zigoni and Beretta will both train with the senior squad this season.

The U21's are tied 1-1 with Russia after 56'. Paloschi has scored for Italy.

We really need to get him back after this season, infact we shouldn't have let him stay at Parma, surely he's more useful then Boriello

I think it was a good move to loan Paloschi. He learned much more than he would have had he stayed especially since our coach was Ancelotti and his playing time would have been limited to 3 minutes per 38 games.

I believe in Borriello, he would have offered a lot if he was not out injured for so long... let's hope he can stat healthy this season.

FT Russia U21 3 - 2 Italy U21.

From the match report in Gazzetta, it seems that Albertino did rather well. They also praised the cb pairing. DiGennaro was fielded in the Pirlo position just in front of the defense (he's normally a trequartista) and according to Gazzetta, it didn't quite work. Also of note, De Silvestri was subbed out early in the first half due to injury.

Seriously, we should let Bori go and bring back Palo. he looks far more promising!

Also of note inter's Mario Balotelli was scored Italy's 2nd.

So, lots of the kids busy this August.
(from the ticker on acmilan.com's italian page)
Mitja Novinic has been called up for the Slovenia Under 19
Gianmarco Conti and Marco Gaeta have been called up for the Azzurini Under 18
Alexander Merkel has been called up for the Germany Under 19
Harmony Ikande and Neamadi Ouduamadi have been called up by the Nigerian U20 for the U20 world cup in Egypt.

Wait, We got a slovenian player in the youth

The primavera won a preseason tournament (the 'Memorial Mattia Del Ballo' tournament) by beating the Udinese primavera in the final by a score of 3-0. Zigoni got 2 of the goals and Strasser got the third.

Zigoniiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! GO ZIGOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

...

Ahem... well done lads!

According to the ticker on acmilan.com's italian page, Zigoni's just gotten a call up to the U19s.

I'm actually more impressed with Strasser. He's been making quiet but steady progress. Even when he played for us he didn't look as out of place as Zigoni did. It's about time maybe that he got loaned.

Yay Zigoni, for the two goals too!

i've been saying that for a year now, i felt he only needs Serie A experience at this point

In which game did Zigoni look out of place?

So, acmilan.com finally updated the player lists of the youth squads for this year.

http://www.acmilan.com/infopage.aspx?id=44552

Christian Maldini plays for the Giovanissimi A (along with Valerio Fiori's twins) and is listed as a defender.

Daniel Maldini plays for the Pulcini 2001 and is listed as a midfielder.

Cool so we're that much closer to seeing them both with the First Team one day.

But Daniel's tackle is perfection! Oh well, he can be the Gattuso of the team

No he'll just learn to control the ball better in midfield and will later become a classy perfectly tackling defender. The next generation of Maldini's ARE COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You think Arsenal will sign them up soon?

Haha you think you can make me lose it YOU PIECE OF **** DON'T EVER SAY THINGS LIKE THAT AGAIN!

I mean think of it.

Galliani: "The management has declared that Pato is unselleable. But we still need to balance the books. Hence in order to meet the financial regulations as well as satisfy the fans by keeping their hero, we shall sell Christian and Daniel to Arsenal for 40 million Euros. In any case we have Nesta and Gattuso who can cover us in that position for many more years. I repeat this team is strong and built to win, and we shall challenge on all fronts this season. Milan shall always be a protagonist!"

What surprises more is not your efforts to piss me off but the countless hours you have spent studying gallianology.

Impressive ainnit? I could replace him and you wouldn't know the difference.

Impressive ainnit? I could replace him and you wouldn't know the difference.

Oh god...that does sound like something that he would say

Not that we've seen him yet or anything but, well, it'll be a bit longer before Michelangelo Albertazzi plays for Milan. He's been called up to the Italy U20s for the U20 world cup in Egypt.

So the primavera won away at Cesena today, 3-2.

Primavera goals by Romagnoli, Albertazzi, and Verdi.

Albeeertaaaaazziiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!

Where are the Maldinis!???????????????????? Still where they were two weeks ago?? We need you lads!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why isn't he getting a chance while we have Janku starting every week?? From what I've seen of him he's very good, and solid defensively. And really nothing can be worse then what we already have in that LB area

Because in a couple of weeks he's going to the U20 world cup?

Even so he's never gotten the chance under Leo, not even in the friendlies, even Carlo let him play a full friendly against Napoli last season...
