The time of the test. After the two clues collected between Rome and Florence, the time has come for Milan to understand if it really makes sense to talk about growth. He will do it this evening (20.45 pm) at San Siro against Chievo, in anticipation of the 31st day of Serie A. “We have to take the three points by force – admitted Seedorf in the press conference. – Against Lazio and Fiorentina the group proved to be really strong, united. We are going through a moment of transition, of difficulty. It takes patience, but we must be ambitious. I am optimistic, we will commit ourselves”. In short, beating the Veronese is a must, at least to go back to cradling the European dream. At the moment a chimera (between Milan and fifth place, occupied by Inter, there are as many as 7 teams and 9 points behind), but in case of a positive winning streak, who knows…
“The club has given us that goal, we will try to achieve it – reiterated the Dutchman. – Then we will evaluate how things went, we have many teams ahead. However we are already talking about next season”. Dialogue rediscovered with the club therefore, in particular with Adriano Galliani and the results have been seen. “Since I've been at Milan there's always been closeness with the management – glossed over the coach. – Being united is important but I was already used to it”.
Maybe, but the drafts at Milanello say something else. Silvio Berlusconi himself sanctioned the truce between the CEO and the coach, once again in the guise of mediator. The president invited Galliani to stay closer to Seedorf, then asked the Dutchman to relate to the CEO, in full respect of the roles. Rules that have improved a difficult coexistence thus bringing two good results in the most difficult matches. Balotelli seems to have benefited the most, author of a match of great quality and quantity in Florence.
“I paid him so many compliments – revealed Seedorf. – Since I've been the coach of Milan, he has played his best game, playing well in both phases. He is growing, let's hope he can repeat that performance ”. Supermario will be there, in an attempt to win back the Rossoneri San Siro. The Dutchman's 4-2-3-1 will miss Mexes and Constant, both disqualified, as well as the injured Montolivo, Abate, De Sciglio, El Shaarawy and Pedagna. In defense, in front of Abbiati, Silvestre, Bonera, Rami and Zaccardo will act.
In midfield the De Jong – Muntari dam was confirmed, but not the return of Poli, who despite having served the disqualification should start from the bench. Barring surprises, therefore, the trocar should be entrusted to the Honda-Kakà-Taarabt trio, with the task of helping the midfielder and launching Mario Balotelli. Corini, back from the beautiful 3-0 against Bologna, will respond with the following 4-3-1-2: Agazzi in goal, Frey, Dainelli, Cesar, Dramè in defense, Radovanovic, Bentivoglio, Guarente in midfield, Hetemaj in the trocar, Paloschi and Obinna in attack.
