In the culture of Italy, everyone is focused on the result, even the youth coaches want to win. So if they want to win, they also want to field players who are ready, but then the players with potential won't get any playing time. We have taken this out of Milan, changing the philosophy completely.

After the Futuro started well, Caratese struck against the run of play not long before the break. Capelli crossed for Biondini who found the corner well after a nice touch. Capelli then nearly doubled the lead two minutes later, missing narrowly.

In the 19th minute, Chaka Traorè doubled the lead with a penalty, which he himself won following a foul by the home goalkeeper. The winger was composed from 12 yards, doubling the advantage early in the game. In the 29th minute, Emanuele Sala scored the third, which was set up by Traorè. His first-time diagonal shot fooled Zouaghi, who was beaten for the third time in less than half an hour.

I've worked and played in many other countries: Germany, England, even the United States. Different cultures, different football. But we're in Italy and we have a strong culture: the important thing is that we change the process and mentality a little. We're here to help our players develop.

The visitors were on top in the first half, having a great chance in the 20th minute when Adenyo missed a header from close range. In the 38th minute, Eletu hit the post with a free kick from the edge of the box: his left-footed shot grazed the woodwork, but the ball went wide. Torriani made a good save to deny Marin, too.

Jovan Kirovski, sporting director of Milan Futuro, is planning to make direct contact with Kostic in the next few days, very soon. "The problem is that Milan is offering a fixed base offer of €2.5-€3 million. Partizan is asking for more. Then, with bonuses, all bonuses tied to performance in the first team, Milan would reach €7-€8 million. But right now, the gap between the clubs is wide.

"Winning is always important. I'm happy because the team played well in terms of play and spirit. We always make these mistakes, conceding avoidable goals to others," he said. " We lack focus and cunning, but the team responded, played a great game, and created goals. The new arrivals did well, three-quarters were the Primavera team. We're on the right path; what matters is growth, and today we saw good individual and team growth. "We only have two seniors, Magrassi and Branca. They're intelligent guys, they know where they are and what their job is, which is to help these guys, the team, and when they come in, they always do, they never fail to do so. " The spirit is right, and that's what these guys need, also because they need a bit of experience. The message Magrassi gave today, beyond the goal, is to come in with the right spirit to lend a hand to the team, as Branca himself did and always does. Because guys don't grow alone, but also through example."
