Allegri experiences matches with maximum tension, whether it's a derby or a Saturday afternoon against the bottom-placed team. His mind is a whirlwind of numbers to be achieved and moments in the game where he demands a certain level of control from his teams. If not, his reaction is well-known: raging at whoever is in ear shot, kicking the ball, tearing his jacket off and throwing it to the ground.
A comeback is nearly impossible even with Sunday's result, but the Livorno-born coach knows full well that anything can happen in football. Milan, first and foremost, must not watch Inter's performance, but try to win all their games. Only then will they have any chance of coming back, otherwise the only thing they'll have left is the regret of not having capitalised on any missteps the Nerazzurri might continue to make in the final stretch.
According to TMW, Milan have been monitoring Fiorentina striker Moise Kean in recent months. The Italian was coached at Juventus by Massimiliano Allegri, and he is a name that seems to unite the manager and the management, so much so that he has been scouted in depth.
With Leao, he has always had flaws; he wouldn't be human without them. Yet, this season, it appears that his game has become more full. Moving centrally has been a calculated risk from Massimiliano Allegri, and so far, it has paid off.
Gabbia is out. He's still recovering from inflammation. We hope that he will return as soon as possible. Lofuts-Cheek had all his teeth fixed. Gimenez has completed all his pre-training. He's in good condition. He might start training with the team next week. It's a good sign, a good recovery.
The news from February doesn't carry the same weight as the news from March-April, because just one or two wins are enough for the world to change. However, we are at the lowest point in the relationship between the current Milan and the current Allegri. Allegri is unhappy with many things, with the management of the Rossoneri transfer market, with the confusion that still reigns at the corporate level, with the ownership, and with the interlocutors within the club.
I have already done it publicly. I am not proud of it. I have done something that is probably unsportsmanlike. It is true it was a little touch, you shouldn't do it, especially a coach. I understand that he [Saelemaekers] was angry. I apologise to the coach [Allegri], I have already done so to [Milan] players Luka [Modric], [Mike] Maignan and Saelemaekers. I will learn from this and I hope I don't do it again in my career.
Youssouf Fofana has been a key player under all three of his AC Milan head coaches so far, and it seems Massimiliano Allegri is trying to build the midfielder up. Milan tried desperately to bring Fofana to the club last summer; it seemed that they would have to wait until the summer just gone to land the midfielder initially. However, they eventually got a deal done, and it was worth it.
