"Very calm. I think he warmed up very calmly without pushing himself too hard. It was clear he was there to make an appearance, a bit early to even think about playing. I think he, too, is aware of his attitude and the fact that he's behind the rest of the team,"
"What happened at the end of the first half was interesting because, even though Milan could have even pulled away after the opening goal, Allegri saw a few players out of position and tried to correct them. De Winter was supposed to be 20-30 metres back but because he was too far forward, he couldn't hear him [Allegri], so Allegri went to a stadium employee nearby and told him to carry this message to the other side. So this worker went around the entire perimeter, going behind the advertising hoardings, to get to De Winter."
Ardon Jashari was named on the bench for the Roma game but did not play, suggesting he is not yet match-ready. Christian Pulisic returned to full training after his mid-October injury, improving Milan's fitness situation. Adrien Rabiot is pushing to return but medical staff are proceeding cautiously because of a delicate calf. Observers noted Jashari warmed up calmly without pushing himself and appeared aware he was behind the rest of the team. During the match Allegri identified players out of position and resorted to using a stadium employee to relay instructions to De Winter, who was too far forward to hear on-field directions.
