November 10th – 11.05am – MILAN

In the Milan which is reassembled by Parma a double advantage, guilty – according to Allegri’s thoughts – of not knowing how to descend into the different moments of the match, Rabiot’s experience was lacking and, at least from the beginning, that of Pulisic. Adrien, thirty years old, has 227 games behind him with PSG, 56 with the French national team and then the long Italian history: 212 games with Juventus and the first five with Milan. A midfielder of this maturity would hardly have shied away from the fight: Max, after the match at Tardini, had always seen his team as too passive when in fact there would have been “a fight to fight for”. Modric And Leao they were the last to give up, but there was no glue that kept them together: after the goal and the penalty won, Saelemaekers he dedicated himself more to style exercises; Fofana he opened too many gaps for the opposing runs; Pulisicas soon as he returned, he didn’t have the necessary composure to score the new lead and Nkunku it was disappointing from the start.

The results with Adrien

With Rabiot, Milan finds a great player again balancer: with him on the pitch in four championship matches, there were three wins, one draw and above all only one goal conceded (on a penalty) against Napoli. Before the injury suffered in the national team, Adrien had always been a starter and never replaced, including the Italian Cup match against Lecce (another success without conceding goals). A sum of 450 minutes played, the entire total available at least until the call from the French national team in mid-October and the calf injury confirmed only once the player returned to Milanello. Since then, five more matches have come, with much more mixed results: two wins, three draws and six goals conceded. Rabiot’s contribution is fundamental: Modric has a perfect assistant director, but that’s not all. The team finds in him a reasoner of midfield, a goal settera dynamic median who supports the defense and doesn’t give up on incursions into the area. A skilled one all-rounder: beyond the technique and the role there is precisely the strong personality, decisive for a team that until last year lacked character. Rabiot he will return to the starting line-up in the derbythe game that most of all needs experienced professionals. Adrien will take advantage of the break to regain his condition and match rhythm: also to see him at work, the friendly match against Entella has been scheduled for Friday. France coach Deschamps obviously left him in the hands of Allegri.

the others

Same fate for Pulisicfor which the mediations between the club and the US federation were decisive: Christian was in fact available for Milan already in the last weekend, therefore theoretically callable. It will stay Instead Rossoneri during the breakin search of the best form. Even with him, Milan is growing in depth: Christian has the technical qualities to communicate with Leao in attack and the personality to manage the most delicate phases of a match. Tomori will return and, if necessary, Allegri will also have Jashari back (on the bench for two games, reserves a space in the derby) e Gimenez: he has physicality, lacks goals but has shown that pressure (and criticism) doesn’t affect him. And the derby thrives on tension.
