In recent days, the Italian football federation president Gabriele Gravina spoke critically about AC Milan and, in particular, the management of Francesco Camarda in an interview with Il Messaggero Veneto.
Gravina said:
"It won’t be long before Italy returns to being a reference point with the senior national team, and will once again be part of the elite group of World Cup giants. Because we have the talent, but it’s unfortunate to see that often they aren’t used by clubs. I’m thinking of Milan's Camarda. Talent needs opportunities, and abroad they provide them (with opportunities)."
Today, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that AC Milan, as a club, was very surprised by the federal president’s comments. First, because Camarda, who is 16, has been playing regularly in the Serie C championship. Between the league and the category's Coppa Italia, he has already made 6 appearances and scored 3 goals, despite being sidelined by an injury for a few matches.
Additionally, with the launch of the U23 project this year, the club demonstrates its commitment to developing young talent.
