Bryan Cristante set for surprise AC Milan chance this week
AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri is ready to give 16 year-old midfielder Bryan Cristante a first team debut this week. Milan have a dead Champions League rubber with Viktoria Plzen and TMW says Allegri plans to give Italy U17 international Cristante his chance. Also in the frame to see action will be academy teammate Kingsley Boateng, another regarded highly inside Milan. Boateng, 17, scored in a preseason friendly against Malmo earlier this year.

Made his debut for us in the Champions League today. Only 16 years old!

Hugely disappointing appearance for teenager as his side conceded twice after his introduction in 81st minute, although the goals were nothing to do with him.

He bring bad omen. :o
whether is his fault or not, 2-0 lead become 2-2. :fp:
Passive Bonera.

Waiting for his Serie A debut now :o
pretty sure some of the older players who were ineligible for CL (like Carmona) will start before him. might mean that we won't see him in the first team again until next year.

They have a B team in second divison in spain. that why they can develop their talent while milan dont have any B team. Italy most change some rule and they must start a B team for every serie A team Just like in Germany,England and Spain.

And more soon than later.

The U21 national team in Serie B was a terrible idea...

There should be just Serie A Youth, Serie B Youth... and on and on.

Average age 17-21, and don't quit with the Primavera, just have that 14-17 or something.

Main Point, Italy fix it as soon as possible, talents will only get damaged...

Milan could easily build their own reserve team and register them to play in the last division of Italy and then move up and try to get to Seria C.

For kids that would be more then enough of quality football even if you play close to the last division. Definitely much better then just Primavera games.

Italy situation with no reserve league is horrible... but Milan on the other hand is also doing nothing.

An introduction to Bryan Cristante - AC Milan's 16-year-old Champions League wonderkid

157332hp2.jpg


AC Milan dropped two late points in their final Group H encounter against Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday night, but there was one reason for optimism to come from the final 10 minutes of their 2-2 Champions League draw in Prague.

Bryan Cristante's 81st-minute introduction in place of Robinho was the latest step on the footballing ladder for a 16-year-old who has made great strides already through the Rossoneri's youth system. In making a late appearance on Tuesday he became one of the youngest players ever to play in the Uefa Champions League.

Cristante was born in San Vito al Tagliamento but raised in San Giovanni di Casarsa, a province of Pordenone, and took his first real steps in Casarsa. He moved on to Liventina Gorghense, a club in the province of Treviso which forms part of Milan’s vast youth structure that has also helped to develop Kingsley Boateng. Cristante was the first player from an amateur club to be called up for the national under-15 youth team.

In 2009 came the call from the Rossoneri, and in his first year at Milan he won the Scudetto with the Giovanissimi Nazionali, scoring eight goals. The following season he made the step up to the Allievi Nazionali, with whom he won another league championship. Earlier this year, the club’s Primavera coach, Aldo Dolcetti, called him into the highest level of youth team football, where he quickly became one of the pillars in the midfield. Cristante is also currently a member of the Italy U-17 setup.
He is a midfielder who already has great physique for his age (at 186 cm tall and 78 kg in weight), and is excellent in both phases of the game, combining strength and technical qualities. He has also been used just in front of the defence before, but is at his best in either channel. In that respect he is similar to Alberto Aquilani, but he seems to have better physical endurance than the Milan first-teamer.

Cristante must obviously become tougher to withstand the impact of the first team arena, but he has impressed Massimiliano Allegri with his technical skills and personality, meaning that the first-team coach is willing to give him the chance to play despite his young age. Off the field, though, he is a very introverted boy, who does not yet seem to be too attracted to the bright lights of the media spotlight.

he really didnt get a chance to do anything.

ability is there if he is impressive enough to debut at 16. that is too young to expect him to truly be a world beater at this age, talent is there, hopefully we will actually be able to develop him

maybe we can see him in the Coppa

just having a reserve team league would be super valuable for Italian football, I cant even figure out why they havent done it yet

it would allow for our players that dont get a ton of time to play and would be extremely valuable for bringing young players along, and then if the first team has an injury crisis they can be called up

Cristante: "Ibrahimovic has given me security"

Cristante Bryan commented, the Gazzetta dello Sport, the European debut in the Rossoneri shirt: "It 'was a special night, it all happened so quickly that even hard to realize. On Saturday I played with the Spring, and shortly after I learned of the meeting in the Champions League. I did not think to debut, was a dream for me to go to the bench. Ibrahimovic told me to stay calm and just tried to follow his advice . " Future from the young mezzala Rossoneri: " I see myself in Aquilani even if I never had a precise reference model.

really Aquilani :head:
big and full of nervous = Il nuovo Ambrosini

They actually can't

I think I read somewhere that a owner can't own two clubs

Moreover, the point of a B team is that players can mover freely between them - which would be not possible with a completely separate team...

Screwed up part is that most of the lower league clubs in Italy are struggling financially. The FIGC could easily allow Serie A/Serie B clubs who can afford to, create partnerships between them and help them our financially and also loan out players (with free movement between the two clubs). This will help both sides, as it will help the big sides develop their youth while the small sides will remain financially solvent and may even progress up the league system....

Chelsea called and are interested in him... I think that says something about his talent level, hopefully we dont screw him up
