Blessed this morning with a good interview by Paolo. Heathens mad and grace us with their rettarded takes. Its a good day.



High janus talked about like clockwork. I reckon orange. Guffs full of yarbles.

Moretto: Athekame goes to Lyon on a dry 1 season loan

 

[Curupira]

Damn. I kind of liked him.

Maldini explains decision to resign from national team job: "There was no trust"

Paolo Maldini has opened up about his decision to resign as the technical director of the Italian national team, leaving the job after just two weeks.

sempremilan.com

Yeah, Maldini asked who choses the coach ? Malago replied it's you, then get back and betrayed his words.

 

[milanator]

I think that´s a good move for Athekame.

OL seemingly play 3-4-3 so he will be kept on the RWB trajectory hopefully





They lost 1-2 to Sparta Praha so they hopefully also need him and give him minutes.

I am 100% serious. I don't get how anyone could underrated Leao in that aspect.

A possession based team needs to be able to have the ball in the first place, good luck pressing with Leao

 

[Wild]

Thats idiotic, unless a good RWB is coming.

 

[bullard]

Good decision. Amorim wants a more attacking RWB, this is why the fixation on Chuk. To be honest, I see Athekame as a misfit - to me he is a traditional RB. Tare bought him for a 4-3-3, fooled by Allegri, only to be a misfit in a 3-5-2.

First outgoing done, in August 9th. Only 12 more players to go.

 

[Kmoney]

Hopefully this means we get a wingback in

 

[Wild]

I am 100% serious. I don't get how anyone could underrated Leao in that aspect.

Leao is a speedster, or used to be.
He is more suitable for a counter attack team than a possession team.

I was talking about his passing ability there mainly, pressing and also individualism are fair points. (and even individualistic point for now needs to keep in mind that Amorims approach so far isn´t exactly tiki taka (and can even look quite kick and rush like in parts)). Pressing wise he has showed more enthusiasm is pre season, but of course he is no pressing machine.

Italy is the only country in the major championships still playing 3-5-2 and guess what? They play like turtles and have not won anything in Europe for many years.

What are they considering? Not to change anything as usual. Why change a losing team?

At the same time Milan decided to hire the least inspired, least charismatic coach in Europe Amorim. He was coming out of a depression in Manchester and the managers said to themselves can we recruit a coach even more ridiculous than Allegri with a slow game as well? Bravo, you have succeeded, Milanese leaders.

But it's not over, to establish their losing mentality they said to themselves what if we overpaid a replacement striker in Europe to unlock our transfer window? Bingo here is Gonzalo 80 million we can buy the future Bondo behind and keep Musah

But as Amorim is a genius of idiocy he said to himself to make our game even more ridiculous than in Manchester I'm going to look for the slowest, least technical midfielder that no one cares about even Marseille a club in crisis Hojberg the tractor

We also see that Amorim continues to want players that no one knows except him who play in wooden teams

But where Amorim is very strong. He said to himself, “Is there still a promising young player who is progressing quickly and useful in this team that I can get rid of?” And he found this genius. "Ah yes let's sell Athekame he plays well and is progressing in a crucial position and let's leave Chukuweze who is not suitable for this position"

The season promises to be exciting, everything is going well. Let's continue with the 3-4-2-1 let's not change our football traditions and slow and laughable by trying to play dynamically in 4-3-3 like in the Premier League we risk winning matches and entertaining the supporters. Then what again? Do you want Wirtz? Not slow enough for our 90s football Hojberg the grandfather will do.

Signed the best championship in the world

Dodo would be nice but we have Alexis & Chukwu

I mentioned the other day that I'm not sure where he fits, so a loan actually makes a lot of sense... But yeah I like the kid.

Perhaps this solidifies Musah's chance at a redemption season on the right...

 

[nefremo]

Chuk

 

[milanator]

The question is also if that is a hint towards RWB attacking - LWB defensive being a permanent fixture, instead of adapting the WBs to the opponent, since Athekame is the most defensive RWB we have.

I miss Theo and Leao causing havoc down the left... The the crazy that Rebic added.

Good times.

We used to nag about having one active side.
Now we have none.
Talk about balance

@sheva but we can't sell with a capital loss

Saelemaekers, Chuk, Bartesaghi, Gimenez, Ricci, De Winter, Athekame, hello?

Athekame was loaned to Lyon, but why you didn't mention Musah ? do you think despite being not even a bench player at Atalanta he could become a WC player

 

[Merosso]

Everyone in the media is picking Inter to repeat because its players know each-other well and their formula has yielded great results. My fear is that they will become the Bayern of Italy or another version of Juve that won a ton of consecutive titles.

Most see Napoli as the closest to merda but these predictions are based on what the clubs look like on paper and there are always surprises like Como finishing 4th, one point ahead of us.

Allegri in an interview on DAZN regarding De Bruyne explained what his role wold be in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formations that he's been using in the friendlies, mainly the first one. At Milan he was inflexible with his terror ball but working for ADL makes a difference.

When he first got hired I was pretty sure that the two had spoken about tactics, and since Sarri had chosen Atalanta over Napoli they hired the complete opposite which wouldn't have happened unless had agreed on some kind of system.

ADL has made a few mistakes in hiring coaches, (Gattuso, Mazzarri), but is usualy spot on like Sarri, Conte, Spalletti, Benitez. When an owner knows the sport well and has weight and influence in the league it contributes a lot to the club's success. He brought Napoli from Serie C to two Serie A titles, including 2 of the last 4.

Not sure if he forced the change but I suspect they talked about it since Napoli has a ton of offensive weapons.

Unfortunatly with this new era of funds owning clubs that in large part eliminates the human element, the passion of Berlusconi, Moratti, Agnelli, Viola, and others franchises, are now run by faceless automatons.

Benitez ??? He completely fucked up.

@sheva but we can't sell with a capital loss

Gimenez's current book value is 23m

Do you have one take that is not moronic?

^^ @Deep Fried Pizza & Chips ?

Dortmund has 2 Italians starting against Arsenal today.

Gerry talked about Youth, what'd fuck Youth Scout are doing .

Not to nitpick, but Bennacer was the first outgoing player! But now they have the ball rolling..
