When looking at the game between Milan and Como, attached to it are almost a year of questions and maybes. Of course, some maybes are strengthened by various agreements, with the FIGC and UEFA, for example. However, they are followed by a lack of answers from FIFA and protests from the players. So, just a few months away from the scheduled fixture, we are left without answers or solutions.
Milan have been sluggish in recent games, especially in their 1v1s, which was evident at the start of the season: two goals conceded against Torino, two against Sassuolo, and two against Napoli. Milan needs to fix something at the back.
No, I don't think so. The difference isn't that Gimenez was there the last month. And we scored even when Leao wasn't there. It's not about missing players. We need to regain the compactness and solidity that we have lost a bit in recent games. We were a bit light defensively tonight. We had chances and weren't able to score. We need to do better, and we have to stay calm. It's disappointing because we could have been fighting for a trophy, but we have to stay calm because we're doing well in the league and we have to get back to doing well.
We're very pleased with the success of this event. Having a full stadium is incredibly rewarding, demonstrating that this globalisation effort is bearing fruit. We even met locals wearing Napoli and Milan caps, which is proof that this initiative is bearing fruit.
there's a real possibility that Luka Modric will start on the bench, with Ardon Jashari likely replacing him in the starting eleven. It is nothing to worry about regarding the Croatian, and is simply to allow him to catch his breath given the minutes accumulated. Another possible change is on the left side with Pervis Estupinian coming in for Davide Bartesaghi. That would be a bolder call given that the Italian scored a brace and was the best player on the pitch against Sassuolo a few days ago.
AC Milan are not only thinking about strengthening the attack, with Mario Gila of Lazio also a target in view of January. As Calciomercato.com confirm, Milan are working to sign a new striker in the winter mercato and it appears increasingly likely that it will be Niclas Fullkrug from West Ham that arrives. Alongside the reinforcement up front, sporting director Igli Tare is also working on new signings for the defence.
I feel very, very good and the injury is a thing of the past. I've worked hard in training over the last two months and haven't had any problems. Not even in the friendly match during the international break [against Entella] or in the Coppa Italia against Lazio. My leg isn't bothering me anymore and I'm happy about that.
