Want to start over. Maybe not from scratch (a magic wand would be needed), but perhaps this season can still be saved. As long as they beat Genoa, a sine qua non from which Milan just can't escape. They know it well around Via Aldo Rossi as well as in Milanello, where Massimiliano Allegri's screams echoed during the week. "If we don't also train mentally in physical work, it's no use for a c ...., here we have to be meaner" the coach from Livorno had yelled during an afternoon session.
Nothing strange, except that the Mediaset cameras (yes, exactly those!) have filmed everything and broadcast the outburst on television. “It's normal, there are training sessions in which the coach has to stimulate the team – explained Allegri in the press conference. – It's essential to keep your guard up, I pass for good but I'm not at all”. Max's metamorphosis (we've never seen him rant so against him or about him) is explained by the tension, inevitable in a moment like this. Milan struggles and only the break managed to dilute (at least in part) the disappointment of the environment. But now it's starting again and the fans are expecting the results promised a few weeks ago, when the coach had guaranteed a different classification by Christmas.
“This month will decide the season in the league and, above all, in the Champions League – he reiterated yesterday. – The boys must not be afraid of protests from the fans, we will have to drag them to our side". It will be a delicate evening at San Siro, because Liverani's stuttering Genoa has long ago given way to Gasperini's warrior version. The rossoblu come from three consecutive victories that have projected them to the top of the standings, +4 over Milan. “Intensity and sacrifice will be needed, as well as personality and character – Allegri's recipe. – They are good, Gasperini has restored play and enthusiasm. But we need points." In short, no calculations, tonight the Rossoneri will have to win by force. The coach will have to do without captain Montolivo (suspended), as well as the "usual" injured El Shaarawy (perhaps also for Glasgow), Silvestre, Pazzini, De Sciglio and Nocerino, to whom Amelia and Zaccardo have also been added. However, it will be 4-3-3, with Emanuelson favorite over Constant for the role of left-back, Poli in place of Montolivo and a trident with Kakà, Balotelli and Matri, who won the ballot with Robinho.
