The new season has also begun for the Under 18 team with the meeting at the Bortolotti Training Centre in Zingonia. The first day was dedicated to tests for Covid-19 provided for by the health protocol and athletic tests.
This year, the Nerazzurri team will be made up of the players born in 2004 and they will be under Giovanni Bosi, in his fifth year with Atalanta and his first season with the U18 team after coaching the U17 team. “It will be the continuation of the work we started last year with the 2004 squad – said the coach from Emilia Romagna – in a championship that will be a good test for these guys who have to prepare for the Primavera. The main objective is to try to improve them so that they can be ready for the move to the higher category. Surely knowing the boys well can help: the important thing is that they understand that this will be a very formative championship for them.”
The team will be made up of payers born in 2004: “Many have now joined the Primavera, then there are some guys who arrived last year when the season started who, for a thousand reasons, including injuries, played little and have to be judged this year. We have interesting players in various positions, we’ll try to do a good job.”
