"Football is full of sliding doors moments, and one of them involves Jorgen Strand Larsen, who scored at San Siro after his brief past with AC Milan. La Gazzetta dello Sport look back at Strand Larsen's short stint in Italy, with the important premise that hindsight is a great benefit, one that turns logical decisions at the time into being great regrets. However, the Norwegian's goal against Italy at the Meazza was a seismic moment for him."
"He joined Milan Primavera team eight years ago and not necessarily just as a temporary move. He arrived on loan from Sarpsborg with a low option to buy set. In short, he spent a season with the youth team as a sort of trial. From Sarpsborg to San Siro The Sarpsborg sporting director said at the time of his move: "A great opportunity for Jorgen. Training in completely professional conditions at a big club like Milan is fantastic.""
Jorgen Strand Larsen joined Milan Primavera on loan from Sarpsborg eight years ago with a low €200,000 option to buy. He spent a season as a youth-team trial, training under Gattuso and later Lupi, and paraded at San Siro before Milan-Cagliari in August 2017. The Primavera side finished seventh and lost the Coppa Italia final to Torino. Strand Larsen scored five goals across 1,260 minutes: 20 league appearances, seven Coppa Italia games, and three Viareggio matches. He struggled to click with coach Lupi and failed to secure a permanent transfer despite the low fee. His later goal at the Meazza against Italy became a seismic, career-defining moment and cast the earlier loan as a missed opportunity.
