"Young players are part and parcel of football, and with AC Milan's academy, this is only cemented further. So, a few have been invited to the Supercoppa Italiana to learn. Last season, Davide Bartesaghi was invited to Saudi Arabia, amongst others, to experience what the Supercoppa was like. Of course, he was on the edge of the senior team, so it would be a chance for him to see what the big moments were like."
"As Calciomercato.com write, Maximilian Ibrahimovic, Pittarella, Vladimirov, Dutu, Sala, and Borsani have all been called up for the game against Napoli, making it many of their first chances to sit amongst the senior team. Whilst it is unlikely that they will be thrown into the deep end, their participation is not the reason for them travelling. Instead, it is a chance for them to take in the process and learn from elite players in a tense environment."
Several AC Milan academy players have been included in the Supercoppa Italiana trip to gain firsthand exposure to senior-team environments and match-day processes. Davide Bartesaghi previously joined a Supercoppa trip to Saudi Arabia as an on-the-edge senior prospect. This season, multiple Futuro players—Maximilian Ibrahimovic, Pittarella, Vladimirov, Dutu, Sala, and Borsani—were called up for the Napoli fixture, many experiencing senior-team surroundings for the first time. The selection focuses on observation and learning rather than immediate playing time, offering invaluable experience, motivation to rejoin the senior dressing room, and a pathway for youth development.
