ROSSONERO HISTORY: MAY 10TH
MILAN – Below are three historic matches played by Milan on May 10th.
10th May 1953, Serie A. Milan-Torino 5-1, after the first goal scored by the Granata’s Buhtz, Milan scored three goals at the very end of the first half with Nordahl, Annovazzi and Burini to turn the game around.
10th May 1956, Serie A. Milan-Novara 4-2 and the first goal scored by Osvaldo Bagnoli in the league with Milan.
10th May 1969, Serie A. Milan-Napoli 0-0, the Milan president at the time Carraro had a heated debate with the then Napoli president Ferlaino about the tough tackling of the azzurri. Milan already had their minds on the European Cup final in Madrid against Ajax.
AC MILAN PRIMAVERA PRIMED FOR PLAY-OFF
If the Rossoneri beat the Neroverdi they will go through to the next round where they will face either Empoli or Lazio. Should Milan then win that round, they would go through to the final-8.
A reminder that each play-off match is a straight knock-out and that Inter, Juventus, Roma, Atalanta, Virtus Entella and Palermo are already through to the final-8 scheduled for May 27 to June 4.
The Allievi Nazionali Under 17 are also through to the playoffs and take on Bologna in a straight knock-out match on Sunday May 22.
To continue, the Milan Giovanissimi (U15) will be looking to bounce back after the first-leg of the last-32 Scudetto play-offs versus Fiorentina ended 2-0 in favour of the Viola over the weekend.
Omar Danesi’s boys can consider themselves unlucky however after hitting the post from the penalty spot and striking the cross-bar in the first-half. The return leg is on Sunday May 15.
Finally, well done to the Giovanissimi Regionali 2003 on winning the league championship and the Giovanissimi Regionali 2002 on a third place finish in the league.
PREPARATIONS FOR ROMA CONTINUE
MILANELLO – After a day-off on Sunday, the players held a training session on Monday at 16.00 at Milanello and started to set their sights on the final Serie A match of the season with Roma. CLICK HERE for our match-preview of Saturday’s clash.
The Rossoneri’s afternoon session got underway on the central pitch with a warm-up consisting of fitness drills and stretching. Following that, the squad was split into two groups. Those that started versus Bologna did running around the outside of the pitch and then headed indoors to work out in the gym.
The rest of the players meanwhile went through passing drills with the use of the metal mannequins. Training continued with possession drills and came to a close with a practice match on a reduced size pitch with goalkeepers.
Individuals: Abate, Bonaventura and Niang started the session with the rest of the squad. Abate then joined up with the starters from the Bologna game for running. Bonaventura and Niang took part in the passing drills with the other members of the squad.
