2nd team of Milano - Inter B team

[junior55]

Since we are mentioning this pretty much in every thread i think it is time for this very important topic for the future of Italian football to have it's own thread.

For all of those who like me are pretty excited about this possibility i am translating a short caption from an interview shared by Costacurta today along with some comments from me, which had some unexpected turnarounds such as the starting date of this initiative:

"Starting from next season we will introduce the 2nd teams in italian football. On this 1st trial the squad submission will be on request. Every year in italian 3rd league (Lega Pro) there are teams which during the summer fail to register due to not reaching the criteria's , mainly for financial reasons. These teams this year will be replaced by 2nd squads of those who will request such right.

The B teams will be composed by under 21 players plus two under 23 ones. In each squad it is mandatory to have a minimal amount of players which can be called up by the Italian NT. This minimal amount is still to be decided. These B teams will compete regularly with the other teams , which means that they will have the right to be promoted or relegated , but they can't play in the same league as the A team (same as Spanish league apparently)"

I liked everything i read here especially the italian part. I am not an Italy NT fan so couldn't care less for their future but i do believe that a strong italian core serves only for the better.

Finally. This has been called on for years, expecting players to be able make the jump from Primavera (U19 i think) to main squad is ridiculous. Hopefully they'll be in the new FM as well

Yep , and i am very excited to see how Samaden plans to handle things now. Since we have always asked for this i think we should be pretty much prepared.

For sure i think now we will stop playing in the Beretti league. Which for the ones who don't know is another u19/u18 league for Lega Pro clubs where clubs from Serie A and B could register if they want.
Inter and Atalanta are some of the only teams from the main clubs who used to register a team in Beretti league due to the high nr of primavera players. So we used to keep the most ready ones in Primavera and send the rest to Beretti. Now probably we will send the ready ones to B team and keep the rest in primavera level.

Finally less titles for us but more players

Man this is great, too bad this couldn’t happen sooner. Maybe we could have salvaged players like Crisetig, Dimarco, Bonazoli, etc.

So they may finally get their wish to see an Inter team in Serie B

projected Inter B

not bad

how would the transfer to and from the main squad work? free as they please?

Didnt realise Puscas has 7 goals in 8 appearances in Serie B for novara.

This has to be skewed seeing as our first time we put a team in it will be playing in serie C

I really wonder how well a team of all U21 players will do at this level. Even if they're talented they will be playing against some adults. Also, the first year when ALL the B teams are in Lega Pro together the fight for promotion is going to be very difficult. Imagine there are only 3 spots and you have Juve, Milan, Roma, Fiorentina, Lazio, etc. all with B times fighting to get into Serie B.

Can these B teams make transfers? Obviously Inter can sign and delegate them to the B team, but do they have the autonomy to do so? Sign different contracts etc?

As far as I know in Spain, all the transfers come from the main squad

 

[chipschups]

Put gabigol, lautaro and karaboy so they can promoted to Serie B.

Fantastic, now we can assemble a 100mil+ worth of B team consisting the likes of Kondogbia, Joao Mario, Gabigol, Dalbert, and Eder.

 

[.h.]

They'll still be shit tbh

It won't look so good. Players like Vanheusden , Bastoni , Odgaard, Colido , Zaniolo and Puscas who have already experienced Serie A/B football won't agree to play in Serie C , nor would it be beneficial.

This is more an opportunity for the likes of Tassi , Rivas , Bakayoko , Palazzi , who have gone on loan year after year in teams like Salernitana and co where they can't find the quality of training Inter staff and structures can offer nor the trust.

Only Gabigol would be eligible to play for the B team of those players you mentioned

 

[JJM]

Such uncharted waters for Italian football tbh

 

[Peppino]

I'm impressed by how they've come up with a broadly fair way to move those teams into Serie C. We were talking about it on The Inter Show yesterday and we couldn't see how they would come up with a system which wouldn't result in a team which has earned its place in Serie C losing it. It's a good idea and way overdue.

Now, who is up for suggesting to the club that our second team never goes for promotion so we can keep saying non siamo mai stati in B ?

 

[Besnik]

Gabigol will be so happy of this.

it is a good point, but it all depends on how the mobility between A-team and B-team is structured.

If it is very flexible, meaning they can be called up to the main team at any time, I am sure that they would prefer playing there instead of a serie B team, where their chances of making back to the main team would be very thin and only limited to the transfert window.
