Yahoo Sports Fonseca gives speech and does training session at Juvenile Correctional Institute
AC Milan coach Paulo Fonseca visited the Cesare Beccaria Juvenile Correctional Institute, on the outskirts of Milan, to meet with young people there.
After visiting the facility, the coach of the Milan first team took part in a discussion with the boys, where they discussed value issues and parallels between everyday life and the world of football.
“In everyday life as in football discipline and respect for the rules are fundamental values to be able to achieve the goals we set ourselves,” he told them.
“It is also very important to be aware that we are never alone, and that in times of need, asking for help is not a reason for shame but of great awareness. Whether it is people dear to us, friends, professionals or team-mates.”
Subsequently, Fonseca went to a five-a-side football pitch inside the Institute, where he guided and participated in a training session with the boys themselves.
