Philip Galliguest of the columns of MilanNews.itspeaks about the derby won by the Rossoneri and decided by Matteo Gabbia: “I’m happy because one of the youth sector scored a goal and I hope it’s an example for many. Matteo is a serious, calm boy, who makes professionalism his strength. He is determined in everything he does”.
We often talk about the Milan soul that is missing and that is essential to transmit to others, especially in matches like the derby. A foreign footballer cannot fully grasp its importance.
“Matteo and Davide (Calabria) bring the Milan identity. My impression, however, is that there is not much attention on this issue. Personally, I am in favor of this identity, of the fact that we work in the territory to develop Italian players. However, it does not seem to me that Milan is going in this direction, I wrote it on my blog. But I hope that the work of the Primavera and the second team can in this sense prepare a future with players who have Milanism and come from the youth sector and here I want to make a clarification”.
Please.
“When I talk about the youth sector, I’m not talking about the market, where I buy the young player at 18. I’m talking about training the boy in the youth sector, as happened with Gabbia and Calabria. And it happened with other players who were sold, finding themselves in different contexts and where there wasn’t the patience to keep them”.
