Today’s edition of Tuttosport headlines the following words:
“Bartesaghi, the first product of Milan Futuro.”
In yesterday’s press conference, Max Allegri tried to keep the competition open between Davide Bartesaghi and Zachary Athekame for tonight’s match at Juventus’ home ground, but there seem to be few doubts that the Italian full-back will take the place on the left of the suspended Pervis Estupinan, who is serving a one-match ban after being sent off last Sunday against Napoli.
A product of Milan’s youth academy, Bartesaghi, who will turn 20 on December 29, sped up his development thanks to his experience in Serie C with Milan Futuro last season. He played 31 matches with the Rossoneri’s second team, which gave him some valuable minutes in senior football. Tonight against Juventus, Davide will have a big opportunity from the start.
