PHILIPPE MEXES TO MILAN CHANNEL: “WE MUST STAND UP”

MILAN – Here are the statements made exclusively to Milan Channel by Philippe Mexes at Milanello:

“We have to take the good things from the game with Fiorentina, unfortunately it went badly in the end and we dropped off too much despite the skill of the other team. We have seen a purposeful Milan who has tried to play the ball. We are Milan and we must continue on that road. We dropped off too much and we tried to defend, but then there was a lack of confidence and a bit of fear after the goal we conceded against Verona at the end of the game. We have to stand up, there are 33 points to play for and we have to take them. It is a difficult championship for everyone. We must try to win from Saturday onwards. Is Europe possible? Yes it is the main aim, Milan cannot stay out of Europe. Conceding four goals in two games may seem that we are in trouble, but it is not the feeling that we have in the pitch, in some situations we lack a bit of strength and determination and we are used to not conceding goals. We must not concede goals because we know we can score them. We are only interested in our own game but we need everyone, those coming off the bench, we are a team and we are all in this together, those who play and those who don’t.”

SINGAPORE MILAN SOCCER SCHOOL ‘”INTERNATIONAL YOUTH TOURNAMENT AT THE 7S PADANG”

MILAN – Last weekend in Singapore, the pitches in front of the historic Singapore City Hall and Singapore Cricket Club were awash with a rainbow of colours for the third edition of the international youth tournament, “International Youth 7s Tournament at The Padang”.

The Rossoneri colours were present with the Singapore Milan Soccer School, who participated in the Under9s – with nine players in the Little Friends category – and the Under-15s with 10 young players from the local Giovanissimi team.

The tournament saw the participation of about 2,000 boys and girls between 7 and 15 years over the course of two days of football and fun, with over 142 teams from 13 countries from Asia and Australia including Oman, Korea and Vietnam.

Milan Soccer School was the star with the victory in the Little Friends, who took home the trophy and also the Juniors were on the podium in their class, finishing in third place. Guiding the Singapore Milan Soccer School was coach Milan Academy Graziano Mannari, who has the delicate task of supervising and coordinating the technical and methodological work of the Soccer School, along with coaches Mattia Lorini and Nur Azuréen.
