THIS WEEK’S MATCHOUTCOMES
PRIMAVERA: Matchday 7, AC Milan 2-3 Cremonese (29′ Comotto, 46′ Bonomi)
During this round, multiple reserve teams faced Cremonese, and the outcomes were largely unfavorable, with most ending in defeat.
WOMEN’S PRIMAVERA: Matchday 6, Roma 7-1 AC Milan (59′ pen. Longobardi)
UNDER-18: Matchday 7, AC Milan 2-6 Torino (3′ Dotta, 90′ Albè)
I have always believed that the U18 Milan should consider following Juventus’s lead in discontinuing their participation.
UNDER-17: Matchday 7, AC Milan 3-2 Inter (15′ and 68′ Pisati; 87′ Lontani)
Pisati scored two goals again, firmly establishing himself as the top player in Italy’s 2009 age group. Milan has lost several key players from the 2008 age group, yet they still performed well against Inter.
WOMEN’S UNDER-17: Matchday 5, AC Milan 10-0 Al 2 Sport (2′ Tomaselli; 25′, 59′ and 78′ Cortinovis; 50′ Montaperto; 51′ Peres; 62′ Di Falco; 65′ Reccagni; 66′ Di Lernia, 76′ Galluzzi)
UNDER-16: Matchday 5, AC Milan 0-3 Cremonese
The 2009 age group lost to Cremonese, highlighting the fact that Cremonese’s youth academy is truly impressive.
UNDER-15: Matchday 5, AC Milan 5-0 Cremonese (31′ De Nicola; 49′ Piazza; 57′ and 58′ Borsa; 79′ Carbone)
WOMEN’S UNDER-15: Matchday 4, Serenissima 4-2 AC Milan (Elshamy, Raso)

Previously, Milan was often praised for their ability to perform well with fewer players in the youth competitions. However, this year, they faced Brugge, a team primarily composed of players from the 07/08 and 09 age groups, including Al-Hassan Daniel Kamara. Brugge’s strong performance can be attributed to the fact that most of their players have experience in the Belgian Second Division. In contrast, Milan’s squad has limited experience in the Italian Third Division, with only a few players having such experience. Moreover, Milan’s biggest issue in the future lies in the fact that, aside from the young players, the older players are simply not strong enough to guide the younger ones. Essentially, Milan’s future will likely be a team consisting mainly of young players.
