“I consider myself a lucky coach. Milan have bought 20 players in the last year and a half, many champions have arrived. And then the transfer market closes on 31 January…”. It was supposed to be the press conference to present Milan – Cagliari, but Allegri was forced to leave the transfer market. As it was logical, the Rossoneri coach didn't want to show his regret for Tevez's non-arrival, preferring to focus on an inconspicuous match, but for this reason no less important than the others.
“We will need to play an excellent match, as always. Cagliari play well, when they play with the big teams they get excited. From now on they will all be important” said Allegri, rather confident after the good performance of his against Lazio.
The Rossoneri have shown that they are physically in good shape, despite the number of injuries that have reached nine. The worrying thing is that six of these are midfielders, including Merkel and Strasser, who arrived to stop the emergency and ended up in the infirmary. "We continue to lose players and there's nothing we can do about it," said Allegri, who is appealing to luck in view of the terrible month of February. "It's going to be a tough month, let's hope we have some good luck with injuries and good physical condition".
Looking at the calendar, one certainly cannot blame the AC Milan manager: after Cagliari, the Rossoneri will face Lazio, Naples, Juventus (Italian Cup), Udinese, Arsenal (Champions League), Cesena and again Juve (this time in the league ). A real tour de force, which will almost certainly decide Milan's season. So against Cagliari you really can't go wrong, that's why Allegri has decided to immediately call up Maxi Lopez. The Rossoneri must win and forget about Tevez, who knows if the Argentine will be able to achieve the dual objective.
