Atalanta For Special's joint training session in Zingonia
With our Under-15 side
It was an afternoon of fun and work for our Atalanta For Special side, who had a joint training session with the Nerazzurri Under-15s on Wednesday 6 November.
Under the watchful eye of coaches Gianmario Lesmo and Alfonso Esposito, the two teams played five 15-minute matches in a mixed line-up, which resulted in intense but balanced games on the pitch. For the occasion, the boys also had the pleasure of training under the supervision of a special guest: Gianpaolo Bellini, the legendary former Atalanta captain.
The Nerazzurri youngsters set a great example of inclusivity and team spirit, spurring on the For Special side throughout the training session and forging a strong bond with them. This meeting, like the previous ones, was fundamental in instilling in all the boys a strong sense of inclusion and commitment, and the realisation that differences can actually help rather than hinder.
