CHARLOTTE – The Milan players continued with their pre-season preparations in the United States yesterday. Out on the pitches of the Davidson College, on a particularly warm day, the rossoneri started training at around 11.30 local time (17.30 CET). 
The first phase of the training session saw the players warm-up which consisted of a jog and a passing drill in groups of three. Following that, the session and hard work truly got underway. 
Initially, coach Inzaghi’s players worked on technical aspects with a series of passing exercises with the use of the templates followed by a 4 v 4 drill with 2 floating players. 
This paved the way for the tactical phase of the training session. The group worked in 10 v 9 over half a pitch and with one goalkeeper, attack versus defence. 
The session came to a close with everyone heading back inside to train in the gym. 
Individuals: both Menez and Zapata took part in the entire training session with the rest of their team-mates.

Just when fear could understandably take the upper hand in these terrible days of conflict, the families, instructors and children of Inter Campus Israel and Palestine are taking to the pitch to meet up, communicate and continue playing, using the only common language possible: that of sport. 

The message from our local coordinators: 

“Everyone has their own history and that of their people. All people have their own language, food, habits, culture and religion. Diversity is often something fascinating, but at times the unknown can frighten and cause us to look only within our own secure world, causing greater distances between us and feeding distrust and prejudice. Sadly, this attitude can also be passed down to future generations.

“Our objective in Israel and Palestine is to provide children with a tool capable of breaking down barriers and prejudices, giving each side the chance to encounter the “other”. We believe there’s only one language capable of speaking to everyone, and that language is sport. As our Palestinian friend wrote: “The only thing we can do to stop this vicious circle is to mutually get to know each other. We need to connect, speak, and see each other for who we really are […] The only thing needed to stop this conflict is to understand each other. To become friends. There is no other way.”
