Seedorf's latest. Or maybe not, because at Milan the twists and turns are now the order of the day. Certainly the match against Sassuolo is relatively interesting for the Rossoneri, aware that only a miraculous combination of results would take the team to sixth place, the last place to access the next Europa League. And in fact the eve was not at all focused on the match but on Seedorf and his always shaky bench. “I have another two years on my contract, it seems to me that this is the future – replied the Dutchman. – I have been living in this world for 23 years and I always read many inventions. I am very attached to Italy but some communication mechanisms here are wrong, I think that in 4 months the Italian sports press has exaggerated with me”. The tension between Seedorf and the outside world therefore remains high, despite Silvio Berlusconi's words seeming at least soothing, if not downright auspicious. “I've already said that I'm not talking about the president in the press conference – however the coach glossed over. – I do not communicate with society through the media”. No trend reversal, after all this is Seedorf, take it or leave it. In any case, the difficult relationship between the Dutchman and the press is of little interest to the fans, very little indeed. They are interested in the results, which have definitely improved since his arrival even if not enough to grab a place in Europe.
“I had a lot of fun with this group – the coach thought. – I learned a lot and I am happy with what I did. The team reacted and this makes me proud." In short, almost time for balance sheets, also because the match against Sassuolo now seems useless for the purposes of the standings. There remains a chance to grab sixth place, but it is linked to the defeat of Torino in Florence and Parma's failure to win at home against Livorno. And given that Fiorentina no longer has goals and the amaranths are already mathematically relegated to Serie B, hopes are reduced to a flicker, assuming that someone really cares about not making the Europa League preliminaries. “Instead it will be an important match – explained Seedorf. – We want to end the season in the best possible way. It won't be easy because they play well and are in good shape." Milan will seek success in front of their fans relying on the 4-2-3-1, which will be dusted off after the 4-3-1-2 experiment that worked well in the derby and failed in Bergamo. In defence, in front of Abbiati, there will be Abate, Rami, Mexes and Constant, in midfield De Jong and Montolivo, in the trocar Taarabt, Kakà and El Shaarawy, in attack Balotelli. Eyes focused right on Supermario, despite himself fresh from a theft in his villa. "It's too early to say if he can be a point of reference for Milan" commented Seedorf coldly. That tonight's game risks being Mario's last for the Rossoneri as well as for the Dutchman?
