Another “bad guy” arrived at Milanello. In a team of good guys you also need a component of “those good guys”, people who know how to bring mentality, competitive nastiness and the desire to always win. The arrival of Mario Mandzukic is in the wake of that of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, because within a team that looks to the future without losing sight of the present, which is also made up of those senators who have been able to indicate the path to follow to become a competitive group , under the wise guidance of Stefano Pioli. The arrival of Mandzukic, who appeared at Milanello for the first time, will give an extra weapon to the AC Milan coach and filled the entire AC Milan environment with joy, ready and eager to welcome another champion who can give a large contribution to the achievement of seasonal objectives.
CENTRAL AND MORE – From a tactical point of view, Mario Mandzukic can play two roles: that of first striker and that of left winger in the three midfielders behind Ibrahimovic. A solution, the latter, which he had already adapted to his characteristics when he was at Juventus, under the guidance of Max Allegri, who put him together with Dybala and Cuadrado behind Higuain. But it is also not to be excluded that, in closed and mangy matches, Pioli can also rely on the Ibrahimovic-Mandzukic tandem. Two bad animals that inside the penalty area can hurt their opponents a lot. A long squad, then, can also allow for greater turnover and when there is quality, situations become easier to manage.
WANTED – Already this morning, if he had not had to undergo the ritual of signing and taking the usual photos, Mandzukic would have wanted to train immediately at Milanello but he had to wait a few hours before making contact with his new sports house. First training in the gym and then some technical exercises with the ball, while the teammates did unloading work after yesterday’s trip to Cagliari. Tomorrow, Mario will probably start working in a group also to test his strength in terms of rhythm, as he physically presented himself in great shape.
