"Having been consistently deployed in recent weeks (partly due to Estupinan's ankle injury) Bartesaghi has shown solidity, personality and a surprisingly good balance between carrying out his defensive and attacking duties. His growth is convincing everyone at Milan, especially Massimiliano Allegri, who has never hidden his faith in the youngster. In a recent press conference, he said that Bartesaghi has the 'physique du role' to play for Milan, praising his maturity and tactical focus."
"Bartesaghi is just 19 years of age and yet he runs, tackles, provides width, support, energy and increasingly refined readings of game moments as if he were well beyond his years. The fact that all this comes from a product of the Milan youth academy makes his rise even more significant. The message is now clear: on the left, Milan no longer has just one option, and Allegri is starting to seriously consider him as more than just an alternative."
Davide Bartesaghi, a 19-year-old product of AC Milan's youth academy, has risen to prominence as a left wing-back. He has been consistently deployed recently, partly due to Pervis Estupinan's ankle injury, and has shown solidity, personality and a strong balance between defensive and attacking duties. Massimiliano Allegri praised his 'physique du role', maturity and tactical focus. Bartesaghi runs, tackles, provides width and energy while making increasingly refined reads of game moments. Milan signed Estupinan in summer, but Bartesaghi has forced consideration as more than an alternative. He committed his future to Milan with a long-term renewal despite interest from Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
