"The full preparations for the derby begin at Milanello today, with the last of the international players returning to training. As Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews) write this morning, the derby operation can officially begin today. It's only round 12 of the season, so it can't be deemed a 'decisive' game, but for Milan it is still a match that represents an important turning point."
"Allegri's return to the bench has transformed Milan compared to last season, though obviously the "allegrizzazione" process isn't yet complete. While the defence has become the Rossoneri's strong point - especially in the so-called 'direct' clashes against rivals for the European spot - the modest contribution from the attack is a bit of a concern. Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku are still on zero goals in the league, for example."
Milan begin full derby preparations at Milanello as the last internationals return to training. A win would move Milan above Inter; a draw preserves a two-point gap; a loss would extend it to five. Milan perform well against big teams but struggle versus lesser sides. Allegri's return has transformed the team though the "allegrizzazione" process is not complete. The defence has become the team's strong point, especially in direct clashes for European positions, while the attack's modest output is concerning: Gimenez and Nkunku remain goalless. Allegri plans an attacking pairing of Pulisic and Leao, disrupted earlier by injuries, with high expectations.
