MILAN - It was a busy weekend for the Elite Academy and the women’s sides in particular. After beating Roma in the semi-finals, the Women’s Under-17s finished as runners-up after Juventus won on penalties. It was also a bitter weekend for the Under-15s who beat Sampdoria in the interregional finals but lost to AC Milan and Juventus and missed out on a spot in the Final Four. For the men’s team, Andrea Zanchetta’s side drew in the first leg of their quarter-final. They will now look to replicate the results of the Primavera and U-16 teams at home and book a place in the Final Four.
Elsewhere, there have been a lot of tournaments going on. Chivu’s Under-14 side went out in the quarter-finals of the Talents Cup after beating Bayern Munich among others. Sala’s U-13 side won at the Trofeo Enzo Gaggiotti as did Sacco’s U-11s at the Torneo Stefano Borgonovo and De Luca’s U-10s in the Torneo Internazionale Tau Calcio. Pedrinelli’s U-12s played abroad and finished fifth in the Tourbillon Challenge in Sion, Urganani’s U-11s came fifth at the Sportchain Cup in Rotterdam and Traina Melega’s U-10s finished eleventh at the Rood Wit Tornament in Sint Sportchain. Of note also was the second-place finish at the Torneo Borgonovo from VIvabene’s U-12s and Tumiatti’s U-13s made the semi-final of the Torneo Selis.
