Three points and then the Super cup. Milan, thanks to the match in Doha next Friday, is preparing to close its 2016 championship and would obviously like to do so with a victory, also to greet the San Siro crowd. Between saying and doing, however, Gasperini's Atalanta is in the middle, perhaps downsized by the defeats against Juve and Udinese, all right, but still the author of a great championship. But the Rossoneri really can't give anyone discounts, otherwise the Champions League dream would risk vanishing and even the Europa League, the club's minimum objective, would become a lot more complicated. “It's a high-ranking match, it arrives at the right time and will give important answers – thought Montella. – Both we and they come from undeserved defeats, we have shown that we know how to keep up with Roma, they could have won against Udinese. We face a healthy opponent, who even manages to run very little thanks to his great tactical organization". Lots of respect and no fear: the Rossoneri coach once again chooses this approach to present the match. On the other hand, if it is true that until a few weeks ago the Bergamo players were among the best in form in the championship, it is equally true that Milan were able to convince against Roma and this despite the defeat. In addition to Nainggolan's goal, Niang took care of that, whose mistake from the penalty spot really weighed a lot.
“If Bacca plays, he will be the penalty taker – explained Montella. – Conversely, should the Colombian not be there, I still believe that he would not pull Mbaye ”. A nice way to solve the problem, although the former Sevilla's prices are far from on the rise. The Rossoneri 4-3-3, in fact, does not seem to predict it even today, unlike Donnarumma in goal, Abate, Paletta, Romagnoli and De Sciglio in defence, Kucka, Bertolacci (Locatelli is cautioned and at risk of the Super Cup) and Pasalic in midfield, Bonaventura, Lapadula and Suso in attack. “We want to get results and forget the match against Udinese – Gasperini's speech. – We are aware of the value of Milan but we have to play to the best of our possibilities, I'm happy with my group and I want them to continue to have a free head". The Nerazzurri coach wants to end the mini-negative streak and return to scoring points with the classic 3-4-1-2, with Sportiello between the posts, Toloi, Caldara and Masiello in the back, Conti, Gagliardini, Kessie and Spinazzola in the midfield , Kurtic on the trocar behind the Gomez-Petagna attack duo.
