From Arcore to Verona, from Villa San Martino to Bentegodi, from Berlusconi to Chievo. Milan's Sunday lives on the double club-field track, inevitable given what has been happening for a few days now. The climax came yesterday, when Silvio Berlusconi received Adriano Galliani at his residence in Arcore. A highly anticipated meeting, in which the president and managing director discussed the many issues related to the Milan world, primarily Barbara Berlusconi. After almost three hours (Fedele Confalonieri also attended the meeting), Galliani left Villa San Martino with a more serene face. “I have a lifelong bond with President Berlusconi – he explained to the reporters present. – All the hypotheses I have read are science fiction, from PSG onwards. If I'm still involved in football, it will only be for Milan." The problem is precisely that "if", inevitably linked to the figure of Barbara and what will be her role in the AC Milan club. A coexistence between the two is practically impossible, also because Lady B would like to bring other management figures. In short, the case remains open, at least until the next episode.
In all of this, Milan are playing a very important match, not to mention fundamental. A shock is urgently needed and only a victory in Verona could bring it. And so the match against Chievo, bottom of the standings, really can't go wrong. “We are quite well – the thought of Massimiliano Allegri. – I think there is little to talk about and think about returning to victory. In the league we have to reverse the situation and get a good result in Verona. There will be a battle, we will find a healthy Chievo despite the negative results. We have to win, a good result would bring us greater serenity in view of the break". The coach knows he plays a lot, that's why he will present a short and compact Milan to Bentegodi. Barcelona's 4-4-1-1 will be revived, with some changes at the men's level. Abbiati will be in goal, Abate, Mexes, Zapata and Emanuelson in defense, Muntari, Montolivo, De Jong and Birsa (favorite over Poli) in midfield, Kakà and Matri in attack, who will thus replace the suspended Balotelli. Sannino is also desperately in need of points, both for the Chievo standings and for his bench. The clivensi will play with a 3-5-2 (but the defense will often be 5) with Puggioni in goal, Frey, Dainelli and Cesar in defense, Sardo, Hetemaj, Radovanovic, Rigoni and Dramè in midfield, Paloschi and Thereau in attack.
