3 days ago"Everyone gets game time" - Ibrahimovic explains Milan's new academy approach
AC Milan restructured its academy philosophy to prioritize player development through guaranteed playing time over competitive results.
In the culture of Italy, everyone is focused on the result, even the youth coaches want to win. So if they want to win, they also want to field players who are ready, but then the players with potential won't get any playing time. We have taken this out of Milan, changing the philosophy completely. First of all, we want to give our youngsters game time because when you are young, game time is so important.
