Milan Dominates Youth Squad 7-0 in First Pre-Season Friendly

July 20, 2026Carlos Mendoza3 мин

Ruben Amorim's inaugural friendly match of the season for Milan resulted in a decisive 7-0 triumph over the Milan Futuro youth team. The scoreline featured contributions from players such as Samuel Chukwueze, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Francesco Camarda.

The new coach, who succeeded Max Allegri, commenced pre-season training this week. His initial competitive outing was a full 90-minute encounter against the club's resident youth squad, which is slated to compete in Serie D this season following their relegation from Serie C.

Several players featured in today's match are currently on the transfer market but are still striving to impress Amorim. Among those who found the net were Camarda, Loftus-Cheek, and Youssouf Fofana.

Additionally, Andrej Kostic, Lorenzo Ossola, Samuel Chukwueze, and Strahinja Pavlovic also scored. While early in the season, the match served as an extended training exercise rather than a traditional friendly.

Notably, Chukwueze was again deployed on the right wing in a 3-4-2-1 formation, indicating Amorim's plans to utilize him in midfield rather than attack this season. Teenager Kostic, acquired for the youth team, has been training with the senior squad this summer and was also on target today.

The first half concluded with a 2-0 lead for Milan, with the youth squad introducing even younger players in the second half, during which five more goals were added.

Milan's first official friendly will be an away fixture against Celtic on Saturday.

Amorim's New Milan Secures 7-0 Victory in Friendly Test Against Youth Team

Ruben Amorim's first Milan friendly of the season was a resounding 7-0 victory against the Milan Futuro youth team, featuring goals from Samuel Chukwueze, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Francesco Camarda.

The new coach, who took over from Max Allegri, began pre-season training this week. His first run-out was a full 90-minute match against the club's resident youth team, which will be competing in Serie D this season after being relegated from Serie C.

A number of the players utilized today are on the transfer market, yet they are still hoping to impress Amorim. Camarda, Loftus-Cheek, and Youssouf Fofana all found the back of the net in this match.

Andrej Kostic, Lorenzo Ossola, Samuel Chukwueze, and Strahinja Pavlovic also scored. Given it's still early days, the game was more of an extended training session between internal squads than a genuine friendly.

Notably, Chukwueze was again deployed on the right wing in a 3-4-2-1 formation, suggesting this is where Amorim envisions him playing this season rather than in a forward role. Teenager Kostic, who was signed for the youth team, has been training with the senior squad this summer and was also on target today.

The score was only 2-0 at halftime, with another five goals scored in the second half after the youth squad introduced even younger players.

The first official Rossoneri friendly will be an away fixture against Celtic on Saturday.
