#4 Blend of experience will be important
Trending
Most like to point to the now folkloric comments of BBC Sports pundit Alan Hansen that ‘you can’t win things as kids’ as to how underestimated young players are at being capable of achieving victory. But it’s also equally fair to point out that the average age of the Manchester United team he was referring to was actually around 26 years – so, not that young after all. The truth is, any team needs a blend of youth and experience to get them across the finishing line.
Looking at Milan’s squad now, they clearly have those strands of wisdom and ‘been there, done that’ know how to compliment the younger guys.
Carlos Bacca, Riccardo Montolivo, Ignazio Abate and Giacomo Bonaventura – there are plenty of mature guys on the roster who have seen it all before, and their guidance and assurance will be necessary to help the club achieve its fullest potential.
Once Bacca recovers from his thigh injury and Bonaventura gets back to full fitness, they will be a force again, one more than capable of catching up with the breakaway two.
