AC Milan 0-1 Trento

A team that featured ikes of Simon Kjaer, Yunus Musah, Tommaso Pobega, Yacine Adli, and Samuel Chukwueze was unable to score against their opposition from the two divisions below.

Trento got their winner in the 69th minute as Sipos scored, so they will head back east with a positive result under their belts, and Stefano Pioli can make some reflections on the players he saw.

AC Milan XI (4-3-3): Sportiello; Florenzi, Kjaer, Simic (78′ Nsiala), Bartesaghi (88′ Jimenez); Musah (56′ Zeroli), Adli, (78′ Eletu) Pobega; Chukwueze (56′ Traore), Colombo (78′ Camarda), Romero.

Unused substitutes: Mirante, Nava; Paloschi; Cuenca.

Game Highlights

The game was not televised, so only those at Milanello had the chance to watch. The likes of Alexis Saelemarkers, Marko Lazetic, Divock Origi, and Junior Messias were missing for multiple reasons.

Stefano Pioli played a 4-3-3, with Yunus Musah, Yacine Adli, Tommaso Pobega in midfield, Samuel Chukwueze, Lorenzo Colombo, and Luka Romero in attack. Trento ended up winning the match, with Leon Šipoš scoring the match’s only goal in 66′.

Milan have now failed to keep a clean-up in every pre-season game so far. The next game is on Saturday against Étoile Sportive du Sahel at Milanello and another Sunday match against Novara.
