AC Milan’s Youth Team Faces Uphill Battle in Serie C

AC Milan’s Under-23 team, known as Milan Futuro, ended 2024 on a sour note with another defeat. The young Rossoneri side lost 2-1 at home to league leaders Virtus Entella, despite a goal from captain Kevin Zeroli. This loss leaves Milan Futuro in a precarious position, second from bottom in the table and just three points above the relegation zone.

The match highlighted ongoing issues for the team. Coach Daniele Bonera’s defensive tactics provided stability but stifled creativity, leaving striker Francesco Camarda isolated. The introduction of Zeroli in the second half briefly energized the team, but a late Entella goal sealed Milan’s fate.

Bonera acknowledged the challenges facing his young squad in the post-match conference: “This league is difficult, and our journey is uphill. We’re discussing the possibility of adding some experienced players to the mix.” He emphasized the need for growth in areas like game management and competitiveness.

Looking ahead to 2025, avoiding relegation is crucial for Milan Futuro, given the club’s significant investment in the project. The path forward involves potential reinforcements to complement the existing young talent and boost the team’s competitiveness in Serie C.
