Rimini v Milan Futuro, Serie C 2024/2025: the Match Preview | AC Milan

Bonera's Rossoneri: Prepping For Emilia-Romagna Clash

Mister Bonera's Rossoneri are quickly moving through their Serie C season. Following their away game against Torres, they'll now face another match away from home, this time in Rimini on Monday night at 20:45 CEST for the fifth matchday of the league. This is an opportunity to assess our development, gain insights, and put forth our best effort. Let's review what's ahead with our regular Match Preview:

LATEST FROM MILAN FUTURO Progress continues as we search for our first victory. Each match is an opportunity for growth, allowing us to gain valuable experience and navigate this competitive and often perplexing league. Bonera's team can leave their game in Sardinia feeling proud, thanks to the strong attitude they displayed and their overall performance, which stood firm against a team positioned near the top of the table. The defense held strong, absorbing significant pressure and maintaining a clean sheet. However, there is certainly room for improvement in our attack, given that we've only scored once so far. While the team's overall play has been commendable, we need to focus on achieving greater precision and consistency.

**LATEST FROM RIMINI** Rimini is currently on par with the Rossoneri in terms of their league position and points. The team has had a tough start to the season and faces a challenging lineup ahead, including matches against Carpi (2-2), Virtus Entella (1-2), and league leaders Pescara (0-1), as well as a draw with Lucchese (2-2). The match in Tuscany highlighted a recurring issue for Buscè's squad: they tend to leave themselves vulnerable to late-game comebacks, allowing goals in the final moments. In Lucca, despite leading by two goals, they let the opponents equalize during stoppage time, a pattern also seen in their matches against Pescara and Carpi where they conceded late. The Romagnoli secured promotion via the playoffs, faced elimination in the round of 32, and are now competing in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia. Key players to watch are Cernigoi, Garetto, and Ubaldi.

"We haven't quite grasped the importance of maintaining our focus throughout the game," Buscè remarked. "I need to help the team realize that there's no room for lapses in concentration. Sadly, our performance reflects our struggle to secure a victory. It's frustrating because we don't deserve to be in this position in the standings."
