The Rossoneri coach advances English on the attackers ‘line and launches the latest arrival from Marseille from 1’. Doubt de Winter-Pavlovic in defense
Max Allegri focuses everything on his super midfield. With Leao still outside, and destined to skip the match on Saturday in Udine and then returned the 28th to San Siro against Napoli, the Livornese coach will host four of his … tenors in the median. Including the newcomer Adrien Rabiot, who landed on Thursday morning in Milanello and immediately on the field from the first minute. In front there will be the Bologna who won the Italian Cup on 14 May against the Devil, so finished outside the European cups. In Milan and surroundings, in the historical group, there is great desire for revenge, while Allegri, more than at 2024-25, thinks about the defeat of the debut in the championship at the Meazza against Cremonese: “We must redeem that KO – said Max – and it will not be easy because we will have a team in front of a team that in recent years has done well: thanks to the work of Sartori and Italian, it is in the high areas of the ranking and will want to respect their intensity speed”. Compared to the races with Cremonese and Lecce, there will be the new purchases Rabiot, Nkunku and Udogu. “I am very happy with the squad that I have available. The club has done a good job and there is a mix of expert and young players. Everyone who arrived have raised the level of the team. Rabiot wants to make twelve goals? I am satisfied with eight … all we have in mind that the path will be difficult, but the goal is to go back to playing in the Champions League next year. The rose has the right number of footballers to face this season: there are 19 movement players. 23. We are in place like this. “

Leao as mentioned is still out (“Soleo is a dangerous muscle and with an elongation or stretching you have to pay attention”); Pulisic, on the other hand, is not 100% after the commitments plus ocean with the United States. The ex Juve coach wants to keep it for the recovery, as “Jolly” to change the course of the challenge in case of need. That’s why in the middle of the field on the sides of the director Modric there will be Fofana and Rabiot with Loftus-Cheek midfielder behind the Gimenez tip. That in the championship match last May against the rossoblù marked a brace and would have a great need for a goal to forget both a start of the season that is not easy and the market rumors that wanted him away from Milanello. “Saints will make a great season,” Allegri predicted that he explained on Nkunku instead: “He did two good weeks of work with us after in summer with Chelsea he has always worked separately. He has 25-30 minutes in his legs”. Few to hope to start the game.
Executives and withdrawal

Last night the team remained in retreat in Milanello where she had trained in the afternoon. Allegri at lunch received the visit of the AD Furlani and the DS Tare with which he took stock of the situation after the break of the national teams. Max expects a launched restart of the team that must make progress above all on the defensive phase: “The thing I like very much is that we work well and want to improve. I feel a sense of responsibility towards the shirt, the club and the fans from everyone. It will be necessary to maintain balance and find the right cohesion because we have changed ten players. On this, however, I am very confident because I see the right predisposition to sacrifice in the week. Sure among the top four? It is impossible to say “with that you win or lose”: in football there are too many variables.

Before Milan-Bologna, in the afternoon Allegri’s horse, Mr Darcy, will return to run on the first Sunday at the Capannelle Hippodrome. The Rossoneri coach will find out about Mr Darcy’s performance, but his thoughts are above all for his team. This morning the last session, with the tests on the inactive balls: the only doubt to be dissolved is the one in defense, with Pavlovic favored on De Winter however tried in the last few days. Max, however, wants all those who go on the bench are ready: “In football before three replacements were made, now five and changes are fundamental because in the last half hour they determine the result”.
