Camarda gives a standing ovation: reverse goal ‘Cristiano Ronaldo style’ for the AC Milan striker against PSG
Milan-Fiorentina, Camarda close to being called up
Milan in an emergency up front: the absence of Giroud (disqualification), Leao and Okafor (muscle injuries) force Stefano Pioli to call up 15-year-old Francesco Camarda (there is an exemption from the FIGC), golden boy of the young Rossoneri, for the very delicate match of championship against Fiorentina, which sees the Rossoneri forced to look for a victory so as not to lose further ground from the top (and if possible shorten it in light of the direct clash between Inter and Juventus). The starting trident in the match between Diavolo and Viola will be made up of Chukwueze-Jovic-Pulisic, with Camarda dreaming of making his Serie A debut during the match at just 16 years of age (Romero and the young Traor are the other offensive options in the match course for the external lanes).
Camarda youngest debutant in Serie A? If Milan-Fiorentina played…
If Camarda took the field in Milan-Fiorentina, he would become the youngest debutant in the history of Serie A, beating Wisdom Amey’s record set with Bologna in 2021. The central defender took the field at 15 years, 9 months and one day. Camarda will be 15 years, 8 months and 15 days old on Saturday. By staying at home, Milan would beat the record of Paolo Maldini who made his debut in Udinese-Milan (1-1) on 20 January 1985 when he was 16 and a half years old (he was born on 26 June 1968).
Who is Francesco Camarda, AC Milan’s 15-year-old predestined striker. That overhead kick goal against PSG
Francesco Camarda is considered predestined. The striker born in 2008 (he will turn 16 on March 10), but for some time we have been talking about him for the bunches of goals he scored in youth teams (in 2022 he won the Under15 championship with 22 goals in 25 games, in the previous year he scored 22 in 18 with the Under17s), which led him to forge ahead, already winning the Primavera team’s shirt. And as if the start of the season wasn’t enough, he has already been superlative with a double against Newcastle in the Youth League (the Under-19 Champions League) first and then a spectacular overhead kick against PSG. A feat that reminded some of the famous one that Cristiano Ronaldo achieved at the Allianz Stadium in Turin wearing the Real Madrid shirt against Juventus amidst the applause of the Juventus public (who welcomed him as their new idol a few months later). Overall so far this season with Ignazio Abate’s Primavera he has scored 7 goals (and 2 assists) in 13 appearances in the championship, national cup and Youth League.
Camarda, the interest of the big names in Europe and Milan ready to lock him up (when he turns 16)
Francesco Camarda’s exploits have not escaped the attention of Europe’s top clubs: in recent weeks there has been talk of the interest of many European clubs, primarily Guardiola’s Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund. However, Milan has no intention of letting him slip away and on 10 March 2024, when the Rossoneri striker turns 16, they will have him sign his first professional contract: a three-year agreement is ready for him (the maximum allowed by federal regulations), with the awareness in the house of the Devil that Francesco’s great dream is to become a starter in the Milan of the future. Meanwhile, in the summer Stefano Pioli had already given him the joy of being called up to the first team in the pre-season friendly against Trento. And now this call for the match against Fiorentina in the championship.
Milan, Costacurta: “Camararda is better than Jovic”
Billy Costacurta, former Milan defender, spoke in the studios of Sky Sport 24 and spoke about Francesco Camarda who will be called up against Fiorentina: “Camarda is better than Jovic. I would definitely make him a starter. He’s 15 years old, he’s a player who scores goals like the overhead kick against PSG”, explained the former Rossoneri defender, who was fascinated by the young striker’s goal in the Youth League.
