Wet gathering, we hope it will have the same fate as the bride … An already large group of owners with some shoots and some uncertain about their fate, found themselves in Milanello under the flood and with Pioli in excellent shape, confused with his second Giacomo Murelli and the athletic trainer Matteo Osti almost seem like three brothers, tanned and with more beard than hair. A nice climate, apart from the meteorology.
At the beginning of the long live broadcast on MilanTv that accompanied the Rossoneri meeting, I began by setting out some thoughts that I would like to reiterate and summarize here as well. It is not necessarily necessary to defend or justify certain choices made by society regarding the market, there is a right of criticism that a journalist can and must express even if he collaborates with the thematic channel. The duty is to expose a description of the scenario, explain philosophies and strategies, sharing them or – precisely – criticizing them.
I think we all agree by separating the situations that led to the separations of Donnarumma and Calhanoglu, compared to the negotiations with Kessie: the former were chosen by them, not by Milan. That of the Turk more inelegant than that of the goalkeeper, but they are still part of the past. Certainly it was necessary to intervene in time in the renewals, but it cannot be ignored how the Donnarumma situation was compromised by previous management and not by that of the current management, including the commissions claimed by Raiola, while Calhanoglu was offered more than double the contract in to be and he left without even answering (being well trained in this sense thanks to his previous, similar experiences in Turkey and Germany). Kessie has asked to triple his salary: after 2 seasons of sufficiently stretched, he has risen to the rank of top player and therefore it is conceivable that he has other attractive offers to evaluate. The rising of his contract must also be thought of with respect to what could be similar requests in the future, Hernandez comes to mind to begin with. So it is normal to try to build something that enhances the player’s growth, without tearing up the strategy undertaken and pursued by the club with firmness in relation to the amount of salaries.
At the meeting on 8 July, the squad was certainly weakened. On July 8, in fact. On August 31st things could be very different (and I bet they will be), in the meantime, however, the issues of Maignan, Tomori, Diaz with the gifts (exactly on the day of the meeting) of Tonali, Calabria and Giroud have been settled: players in whom Milan believes and on which it is betting strongly. Having spent a lot of money, you didn’t notice. Therefore, it takes patience because the siren sound is more than 50 days away.
Beyond the issue of TV rights for which to date the viewing of matches still seems a kind of raffle, waiting to dissolve the reservations as a viewer, the “stew” calendar of the next championship is not liked. I ask: where is the news? Isn’t it true that we have been playing for years on Saturday afternoon, late afternoon and evening, Sunday for lunch, afternoon, late afternoon and evening, often also Friday and Monday? The return will be asymmetrical compared to the first leg (it has been happening for some time in various other leagues). So? José Mourinho, one who has always been a bit transversal to the Premier League regency, in this regard not later than a few months ago said: “We start the championship knowing that we will have to face each of the opponents twice, once at home and once away. When, it’s not important. ” I agree.
I am sorry that many Rossoneri fans do not enjoy this wonderful European blue, because there are no AC Milan players and instead there are Donnarumma, Chiellini, Bonucci, Barella, Insigne, Chiesa … As a child I grew up cheering enthusiastically for the national team, ignoring the shirts club even though of course I was very happy when there were Rivera, Lodetti, Albertosi, Maldera and then Maldini, Costacurta, Baresi, Tassotti, Albertini, Massaro, Evani and so on. But for me Italy is Italy and therefore I cheer and suffer. And, many times, I enjoy: 1978,1982, 2006, this year again. You are missing something, starting with the emotions.
