Zlatan Ibrahimovic takes the field for Milan Future

The words of Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Senior Advisor of the RedBird property, spoke at the presentation of the Milan Futuro project, the second Rossoneri Under 23 team that will participate in the Serie C Girone B championship for the first time.

"As you know, we officially announced the Milan Future. È an initiative we take because we want talents to have a chance to get into the First Team and with the Primavera system, in my experience, there'è too much distance. When you are young, you enter Primavera at 16-17-18 years old and you go too fast with the jump to the First Team: you are weak physically and without experience. With Milan Futuro they will have more time to grow, you play against adults and è another level in Serie C. There'è a big difference between Primavera and First Team".

"In Future Milan they will play against adults, which è much more difficult. For us è a new thing, we have to find a balance, but we are organized, prepared, we are doing everything and è everything under control. With this initiative we want to show that we believe in our talents by giving them a chance to enter the First Team. For me and for Milan, the young è important. Milan Futuro and First Team for us will be one team: everything that Fonseca will do in the First Team will also be done by Bonera. It will beà like a copy paste: the same philosophy between First Team and Futuro. There will also be individual training. We move the Primavera to the Vismara to train even more, staying away from the First Team because, at that age, you still have to grow. Milan Futuro è the intermediate step. There will be Milan profiles, those who are Milan players for us. The choice of Fonseca è becauseé he is not afraid to give opportunitiesà to young people, he believes".
