For the turning point serves a different Milan at least in spirit

Allegri had often invoked in recent weeks as if it were the remedy for all ills obscure (or perhaps too obvious) AC Milan and now it is time to show that he was right : the rest of the season for the demands of national had to be able to recover some injured , to fix problems and to share more strong and confident groped for another comeback in the standings, but for the moment it seems that the situation has not changed much. The coach has recovered three players , or rather two and a half ... ( Birsa , Silvestre and Kaka by the service , given that according to the Brazilian Allegri has more or less thirty minutes in the legs ), but has since lost Mexes ( four -match ban ) , De Jong (who was also suspended for the match against Udinese) and, above all , Balotelli, who had to return available after the disqualification , but suffered a hamstring injury and surely will miss the game against the Friuli region , very probably also the supersfida on Tuesday against Barcelona . For the moment remain unavailable Bonera , De Sciglio and Pazzini , then you can safely say that against Udinese , contrary to what everyone thought , Allegri first , we will not see a Milan very different from that of the last games before the break , at least for as for the men , while it is hoped that it is very different attitude and the spirit in which it takes the field and, above all , the result . If the stop was intended to bring a bit ' of serenity in the environment , the goal is resoundingly failed, because one gets the impression that the team is even more depressed than the post Juventus-Milan : in the meantime we have received two terrible defeats , the net 0-3 of Caen and the one against Spring Pippo Inzaghi , we are talking about a friendly and a midweek match at Milanello , ie challenges without points up for grabs and that they should not make the news , but for a fragile team from the psychological point of view and looking for courage , certainty and belief , the results are devastating in terms of self-esteem and who caused a sensation and perhaps for this company and technical staff have decided on an early withdrawal of a day to making group , look for the right reasons and find the determination to better face the future engagements .

The figures in this first part of the season the Rossoneri are merciless : it is true that Milan has a point higher than a year ago ( 8 instead of 7), but is already at 13 points from the top instead of 12 ( and c ' who was talking about the Scudetto ... ) and , above all, as many as 11 points to the third place that the company considers the seasonal minimum target to stay in the Champions League , while at this point last season the gap was "only "seven points. The twelfth place in the standings with two defeats and two draws away (plus acciuffati so raocambolesco and almost miraculous ) is not from Milan , but this is what the team has earned undergoing as many as 13 goals in seven games (only in Bologna Sassuolo have done worse and there were those who said that in defense we're cool like that ... ) , it is not that things are going on the attack much better, because it is true that 13 goals have been realized , but only five are signed by attackers ( 3 Balotelli and Robinho 2 ) and this should make us think , because a team that suffers so many goals would need a deadly attack to score points . Even from a disciplinary point of view there are problems to solve , since they have already arrived 8 -match ban in just 7 games and , above all, two maxisqualifiche for Balotelli and Mexes that should be experienced players and play the role of personality and sprockets the rest of the group , rather than being an example of hysteria and nervousness. In short, a depressing situation and must be overturned as soon as possible , given that Milan is expected to be another terrible cycle of 7 games in 23 days, with opponents who are called Barcelona (twice) , Lazio and Fiorentina and with the real possibility of meet, if things do not change , out of almost everything already before the middle of November.

Now AC Milan rediscover fresh forces but not players who make the difference , so there is a need to focus on quality , but on the desire for revenge and the ability to group and want to overcome at all costs the difficulties we will face . The long-awaited break is over and now we have to get serious , because maybe it is too late to reassemble detachments two-digit teams well equipped and more competitive as Roma , Napoli and Juventus , which for the moment seem favorites to contend for the three positions of podium of the season, but a team like Milan can not surrender as early as October and must contend with the utmost care to go back , waiting at the level of the market to reinforce really think and not just with operations at no cost or loans. The January market has already begun much earlier with the arrival of Branches and this shows that those who said that the defense was in place and so that the market is not made with the banners ( in reference to " Matri , no thanks" that had appeared in South Bend at the end of August) , maybe you are already regretting what he said and is implicitly agreeing with those who stated that there needed to do more offensive players ( Matri or Kaka ), but some reinforcement in defense and the facts have demonstrated the goodness of the latter view .

Returning to current events, that is, to Milan-Udinese , the Rossoneri will be two " talismans " in the attack, that is, Balotelli, Cistercian author of two goals in the match of last season and El Shaarawy , who scored less than 3 goals in 4 games played against the team Guidolin . There will , however, Matri , who is going through a difficult time , has yet to unlock and try to do it against a team which scored 3 times in his career in midfield Montolivo will return before the central defense in place of the suspended De Jong , while in Silvestre defense will be the vice- Mexes . There will definitely be the San Siro crowd , after the suspension of disqualification that would have predicted the dispute of the game behind closed doors and there will also be the Curva Sud , absent "forced" in the match against Sampdoria. The controversy following the disqualification after the chorus of Juventus and Milan have certainly helped to calm the environment Rossoneri and now there is a lot of curiosity to understand what will be the attitude of the curve, after threats to repeat the chorus indicted as a provocation for create a case , of course, in agreement with many (all? ) other Italian curves . It is a battle in defense of the principle of freedom of teasing, considered maybe a little taste but differ from the choirs or howling racist and as such can be shared, but it is important to remember that the team is in a difficult time and needs the ' everyone's help, including fans , so it would be self-defeating and inconsistent by those who claim to be always on the side of the team and never leave it alone, go and try and find other problems with further penalties or disqualifications of the sector even worse ; trusts in the good sense , even by the ultras to get out of a very complicated, but it is clear that the most important task is up to the guys in the field , they serve victories and points to climb up the table and groped another comeback arduous and difficult , we are Milan , we must never forget , and for this we need a reaction with heart, great determination and the personality that has been lacking on too many occasions , to return to ranking positions appropriate to the blazon of the most successful club in the world , a title that should be honored with absolutely the best performance and results .
