MILAN, IN CAGLIARI IT'S FORBIDDEN TO MISTAKE! THE ROSSONERI DREAM OF THE RECORD FOR CHRISTMAS. ALLEGRI CHALLENGES HIS PAST: "I'M EXCITED TO BE BACK HERE".
From Cagliari to… Cagliari! Milan's 2011 will end right where it began, ie at the Sant'Elia stadium. On 6 January, the Rossoneri began the new year in the Sardinian capital, winning 28-2011 with a late goal from Strasser. Now, both for the calendar but above all for fate (the match was scheduled for last August XNUMX, but the players' strike postponed the whole day), Milan will end its XNUMX in Cagliari. It won't be an easy match, even if the Sardinians' form is far from brilliant. Since Ballardini returned to the rossoblu bench, the results have not been what president Cellino expected, the same one who fired Allegri two years ago after a defeat against Juventus. Many things have changed since then: the Tuscan coach made the leap into a large square, and above all he was crowned champion of Italy. He could remove a few pebbles from the mild-mannered Allegri's shoe, but, at least in words, he doesn't seem to bear a grudge: “It's always nice for me to return to Cagliari – he said yesterday – it's the team that launched me as a coach. I remained very attached to Sardinia”.
Memories aside, the Rossoneri coach wants to win, also because Juventus will be engaged in the difficult away game in Udine tomorrow evening. Winning in Cagliari would allow Milan to take the lead again (even if only for one night), to then hope for a misstep from the "Old Lady". However, Allegri is not thinking of the black and whites, but only of the Sardinians: “We know it won't be an easy match, Cagliari leaves you little space at home. But we will have to try to do everything to avoid making mistakes, these are important points for the championship, we have to chase the top".
While waiting to sign the contract renewal (“Galiani and I are talking about the economic part, once the agreement is found the renewal will come”), Allegri would like to treat himself to a Christmas at the top of the standings. Which, we are sure, would further sweeten the Rossoneri CEO.
