UNDER 16's, HEADING TO THE FINAL STAGES | OneFootball

The Under 16's have ended the regular season with a high level campaign, securing second place in Group B with 54 points, just one point behind the top spot. The team led by Coach Parolo was able to showcase all of its quality with a run of 17 victories. Their attack is one of the most prolific in the league with 59 goals scored, and a solid defence that conceded just 22.

The final matchday confirmed the solidity of the group after two hard-fought losses against Udinese and Atalanta: a clear 3-0 away win at Cagliari, with goals from Keteete, Esposti and Ametrano, to get the team back on track. A performance that best sums up the Rossoneri season, built on intensity, organisation and the ability to take control of matches early, showing maturity in decisive moments.

Attention now turns to the final stages, with AC Milan ready to face Venezia over two legs in the round of 16. The knockout phase is an important test to assess the ambitions and mentality of the young Rossoneri, with the aim of continuing the team’s and individual growth, and confirming the progress built throughout the entire season.

Coach Parolo spoke about the final run of games: "I'm happy with the group and how they've all contributed during the regular season. The lads have always shown awareness of their growth in the matches and training sessions. I'm, really happy with the identity that we've built together and the current quality on show in the team. The lads are excited to play these finals, I'm expecting an injection of positive adrenaline"
