Next Monday the devil starts the season. Max’s requests, the role of the Albanian DS, sales and objectives: this is how the Rossoneri start again
Open construction site, work in progress. Only missing are missing Umarell. For the rest, this year too, the tradition of the first day of work will be respected: in Milanello there is a discreet chaos between returning from loans, boxes to be filled and players in pink but destined to greet. Indeed, this year the fluidity of the situation is even more evident since the club is putting the team hand quite heavily. With all due respect to Allegri who, like all his colleagues, dreams of the unattainable utopia of finding himself a likely group when the summer work begins. An exact week is missing from the Rossoneri meeting (it will start on Monday 7 July): what is the situation? What environment do you perceive? What are the main news?
the coach
–
The coach, in fact. For Max it is a return to a happy place – adventure ended with the exemption, in agreement, but started with the Scudetto conquered to the first attempt and the first adventure with a big -, even if in eleven years in Milan and Casa Milan has changed practically everything. Eleven years, however, also mean so much more experience and in fact Allegri is considered by the club, as well as by the fans, one of the most suitable figures to put the devil back to the center of the village. Practical example: a technician with whom distortions could never happen as penalties stuffed between companions and Cooling break solitary. Allegri knows perfectly to have to start from a remarkable pile of rubble, which imposes a stiffness and fierce approach: that’s why, for example, he decided to anticipate the date of the rally by a few days, making Milan become the first team of to find himself. That’s why, apart from rare exceptions, the working days will be marked by double training. And that’s why breakfasts and dinners in Milan will be mandatory: the players will spend the whole day at the sports center, with the faculty to return home to sleep.
the DS
–
Tare is a man of sailed football and has already clarified that he has identified the critical issues inherited from last season to work on. The relationship between DS and coach is already very close and this will be one of the crucial keys of the new Milan, since after the farewell of Maldini and Massara in Milan, a managerial void had objectively created.
rose
–
Work in progresswe said. The starting base is a rose of 22, 23 players at most (including goalkeepers). Last season there were 26, but the management contemplated the contribution of the second team: this year, with the future in D, a smaller exchange is imaginable. Until now, the club has mainly subsided between sales (Reijnders, Zeroli and Pellegrino officers, theo and Camarda will soon be, loans sent back to the sender (Abraham, Joao Felix, Walker, Sottil) and missed renewals (Jovic, Florenzi). Among the return loans, on the other hand, Saelemaekers will be the only one who will be in Milan. There are still no official purchases, but Modric will sign as soon as he has concluded the Club and Ricci World Cup, the other new face should be the other in one midfield that the devil intends to change radically. If Xhaka seems to move away, in fact the courtship with Jashari and Javi Guerra continues. The appeal is also missing both full -backs, another center forward and an exterior in the event that one between Okafor and Chukwueze starts.
The game system
–
We will pass, at least initially, from 4-2-3-1 to 4-3-3, and it is the reason why the management intends to strengthen the median, numerically and structurally. Tare and Allegri want a kick -off and dominant in a context where therefore the farewell to the midfielder is recorded, at least in terms of a fixed position. However, Pulisic is able to vary between the band and the heart of the trocar.
dates
–
Between 2nd July 3, the arrival of Allegri’s staff is expected, who will take possession of the structure, while the 4 will arrive the coach and the players for the usual physical tests. All present except Modric and Gimenez, who lasted the season with Real and Mexico. Next Monday the official start of training, one in the morning behind closed doors and the afternoon visible to the public. In terms of matches, there should be even a friendly friend with a low -ranking opponent at stake, then on July 19 the departure to the East. Stages of prestige first against Arsenal (23 July in Singapore), then against Liverpool (26 July in Hong Kong), with further transfer to Australia for the test against Perth Glory. On 9 and 10 August here is the two -day British first in Dublin against Leeds United, a newly promoted in the Premier League, and twenty -four after Stamford Bridge against Chelsea. There will also be space for the third edition of the Silvio Berlusconi Trophy, in Monza, with date still to be made official. We dance between 19 and 20 August, or shortly after the first official commitment of the Devil, against Bari at Meazza for the thirty -seconds of the Italian Cup: on the field on August 17th at 9.15 pm. The championship will start on 23: the Rossoneri host the Cremonese (20.45).
the environment
–
The Rossoneri people are trying to decipher the fold that can take the market, and with it the season, but at the moment everything is too much on the high seas. Certainly on Monday in Milan, no oceanic, on the contrary. Last season it was sporty bankruptcy and the waste are still very alive. There would be no wonder in taking a twelve months ago an encore, when no more than 300 fans showed up in Carnago (the normality would be 3,000) and the “desertion” of the Curva Sud and the Milan Club association occurred.
