Allegri’s Milan won 1-0 in their first match of the year in Cagliari 15 years ago, with a goal from Rodney Strasser who kicked and fell, slipping on the grass. Everything the same as yesterday: 1-0 in Cagliari, Leao’s goal in the first match of the year and a dropped shot. The Milan fans put everything together, consider that Milan are unbeaten in 16 games (which hadn’t happened since Allegri’s Scudetto) and start to get strange ideas. The decisive test? In February, according to the Chinese calendar, the year of the Fire Horse will begin… and if this isn’t a sign of a short-faced destiny, find another one yourself.
