Adversaries at San Siro in a Milan-Roma match that was very important for the standings but Allegri and Gasperini, before diving onto the pitch, hugged each other as perhaps they had never done before. Today, on the day of their postponement of the tenth matchday of Serie A, Giovanni Galeone, teacher and father for both coaches, passed away. Rivals in the very humid evening at the Meazza but united by the emotion and the memory of those who marked the careers and lives of both of them. Protégés of Gale in another type of football, the one in which they were protagonists on the pitch. A few tears fell at the news of the death that struck this Sunday in Serie A, but the emotion was also palpable in the pre-match of a Milan-Roma match that brought Allegri and Gasp closer together. “Max is tried, even now we were talking about it – confessed Milan sporting director Tare before the kick-off -. He had a very particular relationship with him, he cared a lot about him, he felt that he was one of the family”. And during the minute of meditation: silence, eyes closed and looking at the sky. The greeting to Galeone before Milan-Roma was more heartfelt than ever.
