An eleven-goal victory over Real Calepina in Zingonia test
Friendly game at the Centro Bortolotti
Today's winter-friendly against Real Calepina, a team competing in the Serie D league, saw the Nerazzurri defeat the opposition with an eleven-goal margin at the Centro Bortolotti in Zingonia.
A 45-minute first half and a 35-minute second half saw coach Gasperini give space to those players who accrued less playing time in the Coppa Italia match against Milan. Doubles for Scamacca, Zappacosta, Adopo and Touré, one goal each for Zortea, Muriel and Bakker.
Come tomorrow, Friday 12 January, the squad will continue their preparations at the Centro Bortolotti in Zingonia as a behind-closed-doors training session will take place in the afternoon.
