Milan, what the players do before the Scudetto match against Atalanta

The Rossoneri’s day towards the 6pm match that could give him the 19th Scudetto, Atalanta and Inter permitting. The night, perhaps for many sleepless, spent in a hotel 15 ‘from the stadium

One of the most important days in recent Rossoneri history begins with some fruit for breakfast, followed by pasta with tomato sauce and sea bass for lunch. At 18 there is Milan-Atalanta, Pioli plays a nice big piece of the Scudetto. A victory – combined with a defeat or a draw for the Nerazzurri against Cagliari in the evening – would mean only one thing: Milan Champion of Italy. The nineteenth title in Rossoneri history, the first after eleven years of abstinence. High tension, a thousand adrenaline, as it should be, from Ibra who has won everything, to Calabria and Kessie, up to Stefano Pioli. For him it would be the first title.

The program of the day is as follows: the alarm clock rang early, the obligatory breakfast was made before 9.30 and lunch at 12. In the past few days, before pick-up at the Radisson Blu hotel in via Villapizzone, about a quarter of a day away. hour by car from San Siro, breakfast was by 10.30. Then training and lunch all together in the sports center around 13.30. Yesterday the players went to sleep at 10pm after dinner at 8pm (chicken breast and potatoes). Who knows how many really slept. Perhaps someone will have stayed awake looking at the ceiling thinking about the 70,000 at San Siro. 4 points are enough for Milan to become Italian Champion. Close goal.

Today lunch at 12, then rest and finally the technical meeting at 14.30. Pioli has practically already decided the formation: Giroud in front, Ibra on the bench, Saelemeaekers and Bennacer favorites over Krunic and Messias, the usual Kalulu-Tomori tandem in defense. At 3 pm, a quarter of an hour snack and then departure for San Siro at 3.15 pm. At 18 the match that is worth the season. Atalanta is a tough team, still in the running for Europe, a sort of taboo that has been going on for some time: Milan have not won at home against the Goddess since 2014 (3-0). The day of Kakà’s 100th goal for the Rossoneri. They were other times. Today there is a Scudetto up for grabs.
