AC Milan identities amazed by Barcelona whizkid Riqui Puig

AC Milan identities have quickly been won over by Barcelona whizkid Riqui Puig.

The teenage midfielder only penned pro terms with Barca earlier this summer, but is shining for Barca in preseason.

Milan coach Rino Gattuso said, "I've been hearing about him for a long time and other kids, it's something that cannot be cut and pasted in another club, they do not play based on a tactical model but they keep a common idea, I have a bit of envy with respect to their school."

Former Milan striker Daniel Massaro also said, "I loved it. It was the first time I saw players from the second squad - the reserves - although I do not like to say second squad, because Barcelona has no second squad, but talented players, I loved Riqui Puig, I think we are in front of the new Iniesta."
