Comi does not look adolescent.

And thank you, Ash.

Not really any stand out 'lookers' there though. Ferreira's eyes are nice though.

Fossati's eyebrows? Jesus christ... People can't moan at SES92's and then not say anything about his.

Before starting on the technical aspects and tactics, the players played a 10-minute warm-up on half of the pitch and then divided into two groups to carry out some stretching. The session continued with a match where the players could only score with headers.

There a full-sided match minus the goalkeepers who trained apart, to end the session. Mexes and Ambrosini did some bike on the track around the pitch.


The squad will be back training tomorrow morning at 9.30 am and tomorrow afternoon starting at 17.30.

MILANELLO – The first session this morning at Milanello. Things got underway at 09.30 when the team gathered on the covered astro turf pitch at the Carnago sports centre.
The first half hour was dedicated to stretching exercises with the players on the ground. The next ten minutes saw the team jumping over high obstacles.
The team was then divided in two groups. The first group went onto the track, doing 45 second repetitions, progressively getting faster and longer.
The second group took to the gym. At the end of this phase, the two groups swapped positions and to balance out the training session.

MILANELLO - Here are the declarations from Alberto Paloschi and Stephan El Sharaawy, the two young Rossoneri training with the team at Milanello.

STEPHAN EL SHARAAWY:
These first few days have been really exciting because I’m getting to know truly great players up close and personal, extraordinary people. Here at Milan, what strikes me most is the organization which is incredible and also the willingness of the staff. People’s approach is fantastic. It was the older players who came to me to give advice rather than the other way around. They told me to work hard all the time. The best joke yet about my haircut has been “I’ll tackle you so hard I’ll cut it off”.

ALBERTO PALOSCHI:
I’ve felt very welcome here at Milanello, I felt immediately at ease. My time at Genoa was a learning experience. I’m still young and I have a lot to learn.

OBJECTIVES
STEPHAN EL SHARAAWY:
The objectives for this season are to learn and to grow as much as possible because I’m still young and I have to mature. I’ll need to show a lot of commitment and I plan to. I hope to do well, that’s my objective.

ALBERTO PALOSCHI:
I hope to avoid injuries and to stay fit. Injuries can be small obstacles in the game and it’s happened to me a lot in the past but Milanello always helped me get back on my feet. Now hopefully that chapter in closed and forgotten. I hope to do well.


PLAYING CHANCES
STEPHAN EL SHARAAWY:
There are great players here, it won’t be easy to get a place on the starting line up. But I’ll be giving all I can to do just that and the friendly games coming up are a chance to impress the coach. I prefer playing as a playmaker, but I can also play as a second striker no problem. I’m pretty sure I have that option and the coach has already played me alongside Alberto.


ALBERTO PALOSCHI:
I’m just thinking about doing well in training, giving all I can and then whatever happens, happens.


ON HIS EGYPTIAN ORIGINS
STEPHAN EL SHARAAWY:
I’m very attached to the country, my father’s country, Egypt. But I feel Italian as I was born and raised here. Let’s say I feel a bit Egyptian and a bit Italian.

ON FILIPPO INZAGHI
ALBERTO PALOSCHI:
"Pippo is a friend as well as a team mate. He gives me advice, he has helped me grow and has always been close in the difficult moments. I hope to learn something from him. Maybe by watching I can get something from his repertoire.

ON KAKA' AND PATO
STEPHAN EL SHARAAWY:
He’s always been my idol. I love the way he plays. People have compared me to him often for how I can run with the ball. Also besides being a great player, he’s a great person. I like Pato a lot, his growth impressed me a lot. I hope to take the same path here at Milan.

ON PRE-SEASON
STEPHAN EL SHARAAWY:
We’re working hard these days and it’s tough. But it’s good to play with Albert nd I hope we can get some match time together this season.

ALBERTO PALOSCHI:
The training is tough, but that’s how it should be. To be rady for the matches, you have to prepare well. It helps to avoid injuries as well.

ON MILAN
STEPHAN EL SHARAAWY:
I’m a big fan. I used to go to the stadium as a kid, they’ve always been my team.

MILAN - After the morning working session, the team resumed again in the afternoon starting from 17.30 in a open session of one and a half hours in the presence of many fans.

The players started the second workout of the day warming up with a technical-tactical drill: a total of 30 minutes between exercises with the ball and ball possession.

The players wore bibs and were divided into two groups to play three themed training games of 20 minutes each. In the first, on half of the pitch, the players had to get beyond the line marked by cones, playing free touch. In the second match, however, they were allowed free touches and a larger portion of the pitch was used and in the third it was an open game.

The team will train twice tomorrow at 9.30 and 17.30.
