Italy Under-21s, Bartesaghi: "Coach Baldini? Just like Allegri at Milan"

Davide Bartesaghi, Milan’s left-back, who attended a press conference alongside his manager Silvio Baldini, spoke from the Italian Under-21 national team’s training camp. The Azzurri’s youth side are vying for a place at the upcoming European Under-21 Championship and will face North Macedonia in Empoli at 6.15 pm on Thursday 26 March.

Below are his comments.

  • THE SEASON AT MILAN

    Speaking about his season at Milan, Bartesaghi said: "Wearing the Milan and Italy shirts is a huge responsibility. I try to make myself available to the team; I can play as a full-back in a back four, or as a wing-back in a back three, but I try to be as versatile as possible."

  • A COMPARISON BETWEEN ALLEGRI AND BALDINI

    He then drew a comparison between his national team coach Silvio Baldini and his AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri: "We’ve trained well over the last few days; I feel I have more confidence and experience than I did at the first training camp in September. We’re a strong team, full of confidence. Baldini, just like Allegri at Milan, always asks me to stay positive, even when things aren’t going well, and to give my all, especially in difficult moments, because it’s in those situations that your true character comes to the fore."
