Francesco Camarda gave an interview to Milan TV where he talked about his season between the first team and Milan Futuro. Here are the words of the 2008-born forward.
"Throughout the season, it had never happened to win two consecutive games because there were always difficulties, more on a character level than a technical one on the field. Now we are more of a group, more of a team, we have important concepts, and the results are visible on the field. There is a good atmosphere among us in the group; we are all united, all friends with each other, we help each other. Everything is easier."
Camarda continues:
"The thing I always noticed is that, despite the defeats, there were days when we were really down, also because the standings were what they were. Maybe after two days, we would have team talks, and the mood would lift, it would improve. Then, since Serie C is a tough league, personally, I feel improved in many things thanks to this league. Being a harder, tougher, and more aggressive league, you have to improve your decision-making speed. Certain things that maybe, if Milan Futuro hadn't existed, you wouldn't have learned. It helped me a lot."
On his mentality:
"I am the type of player who lives for the goal. Every game, of course, the important thing is always to win, and the team, but on a personal level, I look for the goal. I’m a forward, I’m a number 9, it’s my bread," as relayed via MilanPress.it.
On the first team, Camarda commented:
"They went through many difficult moments this season, and I can say I lived through them with them. I spent three-quarters of the season with them. The first-team training sessions are on another level of speed. The players always want the best from everyone. Being younger, it’s normal that when I make a mistake, they make sure I understand it, and they make their voices heard. But this is something that just helps. I also had some great moments, like the Supercoppa, the disallowed goal (against Club Brugge, ed.), there were also some bad moments, and we tried to bounce back on the field."
On his teammates, Camarda said:
"I talk a bit with everyone. If I have to name one, I’d say Mike (Maignan, ed.). We had two conversations, I say two because they are the ones that really stuck in my mind. Besides the fact that when he speaks, to me, he’s number one. I respect him as a person above all. There was a time at the table when it was just me and him, and we talked for about 40 minutes. We also talked today. Then, Leao often talks to me, gives me lots of advice. Tomori, Gabbia, Florenzi, Thiaw. There are many players who help me. The goal is to win as much as possible, and then, personally, it’s obvious that every minute they give me, I want to make the most of it and score."
