Massimo Ambrosini expressed his opinion on the future of Francesco Camarda, Milan defender, during an interview broadcast by Dazn. According to the former player, Camarda should not remain at the Rossoneri club and should seek experience outside the club to recover his form and self-confidence.
Ambrosini compared Camarda's situation with that of other young defenders, such as the Italian Alessandro Tresoldi. “When I see Tresoldi, Camarda comes to mind,” said the former midfielder. "Tresoldi is not a champion, but he can be in a great team. He is much better than Camarda, who should go to a team like Bruges and play, have a different experience." The commentator underlined that Ruben Amorim's current regime at Milan favors midfielder Goncalo Ramos, who plays 80% of the matches. “If on the second occasion they make you play a role player, you understand everything,” he added.
For Ambrosini, Camarda has only played one match in the Europa League in the last two years and, if he were his friend, he would have advised him to look for a team in Belgium or the Netherlands, where the level of play is high and the possibility of gaining experience is greater. "He must gain confidence, grow, become familiar with 30 high-level matches: go and play. Then Milan, if they believe in you, keep you and you come back a different man," he explained.
The former midfielder also cited Valon Behrami, who expressed similar concerns regarding the management of youth at Milan. "Training doesn't give you anything. The real problem is that he has a high contract: in Belgium or Holland they struggle to pay him and want valorisation", said Behrami. "The problems of young people arise there: you play ten games at Milan and you immediately sign a contract of a certain type. Then, if you don't have certain channels, and we're talking about a club that doesn't have a sporting director, you struggle to find destinations."
Ambrosini concluded that, if Milan cannot offer Camarda a regular role, the best solution would be a performance at a foreign club where the youngster can play regularly and develop. If the club still believes in him, he could return to form and become a more mature player. The episode highlights the difficulties that young talents encounter when they are unable to find space in high-level teams and the need for an adequate growth path.
