MilanNews: In addition to Olivier Giroud and Alessandro Florenzi, Marco Sportiello also trained regularly as a group this morning at Milanello. All three will therefore be part of the list of players called up for Saturday evening's match away to Udinese. Instead, their recovery process continues with their respective injured players Pierre Kalulu, Fikayo Tomori and Malick Thiaw, who carried out personalized work today, as did Mattia Caldara.

The French defender, who has been out for several weeks now due to a lesion of the left rectus femoris tendon, should return in March, while it will still take at least a month to see the Englishman and the German back on the pitch, who are struggling respectively with a lesion in my -tendon of the right biceps femoris and with a myo-tendon lesion of the biceps femoris of the left thigh.

A breakdown of Motta's managerial style if anyone is interested. Explains the 272, it surprised me.

There are far too many to name past & present
Would you guys have taken Henderson this window?

Seems like Saudi Arabia wasn't all that, he's going to Ajax.

No. I've disliked Henderson for his Rubbish Wannabe Steven Gerrard tribute act for the past 14 years.

Interesting.

Seems like his tactical approach is a good fit for our squad, and that he is almost a natural successor to Pioli's tactics(when they work). Getting him and Zirkzee in a package deal to start a new era would be very exciting.

Low wages being somewhere close to our best paid ..maybe even a little bit more than him.
Exactly. How much of a wage cut he has to take from this to be considered low enough for us :lol:

Suma said Buongiorno agents want to capitalize on him, they want to move him to a bigger club but Milan is just a spectator in this situation, he also said Tomori likely won't be back for second leg against Rennes and that we should remember that in 2022 we did not buy anyone in January and people were saying Milan won't finish in top 4 in 2022 after that mercato

Is 'Suma said' a game that was played in Italian high schools?

Considering Conte is available, replacing Pioli with Motta will be a crime in my eyes

There is already enough crime having witnessed 365 days of Pioliball in 2023.

Out for a walk.
Jeez, there are two legs to the Rennes game? I thought it was just a one-off. What a stupid fucking format. A CL group stage team has to play a play-off with an existing EL team for one to keep going, and for the CL team to even get into the tournament. Bollocks.

Are those analytical videos accurate ?
Seems like it can be done in any given game & make it look like its an approach.

You guys are hilarious. You're purely bashing on Buongiorno because he's Italian.
Dragusin - everyone would've went crazy - having seen just as little of him.

What's the difference?

This is an Italian club. Get that in your heads. This club belongs more to people from Milan than us. It belongs to Italians. It should have Italians in the squad.
You lot would rather have 7 out of 10 player who isn't Italian over an 8 who is. - Shameful.
Italian or not I don't really care as along as they're good.

And yeah, I like GM's highlight more than the Dragon's

I know right. I wasn't overly impressed with that approach even if there seems to be more emphasis on defensive solidity. Seems quite basic overall but maybe there's more.

There is a shortage of genuine Italian talent undoubtedly.

But I honestly don’t think Euro2020 was a fluke. As a setup Italian football still has the shrewdness to do well in tournaments at least half the time they’re in them. And when I say setup in that context I mean having Mancini and Vialli leading the way to offset the evident lack of quality (Immobile, Pessina) and to exploit the little they did have to the fullest (Barella, Chiesa).

I can’t accept outplaying England for large parts of the game at Wembley, making light work of their group, or sweeping aside a much vaunted Belgian side was fluke. I think the game against Spain was the only game in which Italy were outplayed overall.

It wasn’t a bad team. Italy Euro 20 was a good team and Mancini did a good job until that period.

Chiesa was playing out of his mind. Jorginho was at his peak. Verratii was still elite. Spinaziolla pre-injury was also very good.

Barella was also very good. That Italy midfield was very good and Bonucci/Chiellini had their last hooray.

Now all these players are retired, past it or get terrible injuries. Barella aside.

Italy has no decent replacements to this, hence they declined.

But everything aligned for Euro 20.
