Without Europe what are the #Lists criteria for Italian competitions only?

I believe Max has said he wants a 23 man Serie A squad...

This is a terrifying statement for me, he's confirming that terror ball is coming.
He played terror ball, when? With Juve - remind me the team he had at his disposal when he played this? I've genuinely forgot but my point would be, I doubt he had players like Leao and Pulisic in attack.
If you have shit attacking options - you might as well reduce the risk, rely on being strong defensively and reduce the opponent having chances - and hope you get 1.
I seem to remember his Juve finishing higher than they should've.
That is always a sign of a good manager, regardless of the style.
Give him good players and I'm sure he'll play good football, when possible. We were scoring a lot when we had Cassano,Ibra,Robinho and Pato!

Closer to Milan or just closer????
Tare today said that we want Jashiri and made what he believes is a good offer, now waiting for Brugge to respond.
The fact that he acknowledged our interest I think means we're close to getting him. Usually they'll say that they can't discuss players from other clubs.

You literally mentioned me in that post so it was not out of nowhere and I bantered back at you.
We also both interacted with one-another quite a bit by that point.
With Sam I barely interacted at all and he came out of nowhere.

IIRC you didn't ask for an apology from me, the way I did from Sam.
If you want an apology, I'll gladly oblige.
i want you to apologize for being a virgin and blocking me

@AndreiX please quote this

I would never have thought that I would be hyped for the new season after last season. Never...

But somehow, I have a positive feeling about the upcomming season - also in light of the Allegri appointment and the Inter dissapointment.

I am actually so hyped that I just bought the away jersey - for the first time since 2020/21.

Maybe I'm just desperate for a Milan game again... It's addictive...

Can you plz keep updating us.
Specially the part where he will say how will we play boring outdated football.
He didn't say that, actually laughed when asked about it. Only mentioned that defenses win championships and he'll play based on the characteristics of his players and opponents.

Also mentioned the importance of technical skills, how he thinks that Leao is great player that is maturing, and teamwork is essential. Also said that if player 1 passes to player 2, he to play 3 and this last one misses the next pass it was all useless. So, he'll work on improving that.

At least get a decent defender :fp: The Cagliari game is still giving me nightmares
What's the point of trying to score goals when your backside is a sieve

everywhere and nowhere.
At close level with buyin royal

You know, he was not at all a transfer that should've been made... So boneheaded in fact, that it HAD to be Zlatan who wanted it...

But that said, did you know that with Royal starting in Serie A, we had a record of 7W / 5D / 3L ?

We lost only THREE of 15 matches in which Royal started. Insane, no?

@leaf the stage is yours
Nah he didn't mean anything. He's just saying that they're out of action for a while. That's not their fault really. Got no issues with both sides of that argument. Although I think it's worth it for an Osimhen for example.

I was extremely impressed with Allegri's conference today, he's really good at it, vastly superior to all the coaches we've had since he left. Great sense of humor explained things with clarity and talked about his passion for Milan, happy to be here, rejecting other offers. Talked about how he's changed as a coach and that every day he works to improve just like he expects the players to do.

Wants his players to enter Milanello with joy every day and think about how lucky they are in the profession they have chosen. Among the midfielders he praised, Modric, Ricci, Fofana, and RLC, no mention of Musah, Pobega, etc.
Spoke highly of Vlahovic, how he was practically a baby when he first had him but wouldn't talk of transfer market but said that he and Tare are in perfect syntony.

Happy with the CBs that he has, Gabbia for his character and passion, Pavlovic that has room to grow into a very good player, but giving up 40+goals doesn't take you to CL.

Laughed when asked if Thiago Silva had asked him for advice on beating Inter saying something like: "is that guy still playing?", but they still keep in touch via phone. Hasn't talked to Ibra since he's been hired, guess that means Zlatan isn't involved at all.

Also on playing young or older player related that much depends on life experiences if one is mature enough or not. On fullbacks said we have Jimenez and Bartesaghi, like Royal doesn't exist. On goals for the season, it's imperative to reach CL while scudetto thinks it's too early to talk about now, talk to him in March about it.

I don't remember the last time I've enjoyed a press conference like this one, if ever, not only for its contents but for the good mood he seemed to be in, the relaxed atmosphere with the journalists, how even when asked if he plays ugly didn't bother him one bit.
