Vincenzo Vergine, new head of Milan's youth sector, spoke for the first time to the microphones of the club's official channels. These are his words on the youth sector: "The real results of the academy are the players who go to the first team and become economic and technical value. Obviously what is achieved on the pitch is an important tool for developing a winning attitude. The result an end in itself it is of no use, but in the broader context it is decisive: Milan can only play to win, the mentality is the dominion of the game and the desire to grow to overcome any opponent. This is how you create the model to present. The sense of belonging is very important, it helps you make the shirt feel sewn on you. If we recruit players who are already AC Milan fans we have an advantage, but it doesn't always happen: the task there is to quickly introduce them into that context, so that the player breathes the Rossoneri and understands the values of AC Milan."
"A great club must constantly invest in staff training. The kids are our raw material, the people who work must be trained by the club to be up to par. Giorgio Furlani is very sensitive to these issues, he wants Milan to be leaders absolute. I also spoke with Moncada and D'Ottavio, the vision is univocal: the feeling is important."
