Ibra: "For Inter always talking about me?"

The Swede opened a controversy at a distance: "You expect to Moratti and Marco Materazzi are still important. They, however, are not for me". For injuries to Thiago Silva and Flamini again accused the Meazza. And the Rossoneri visit the artificial turf of Novara

MILAN - The Milan change their habits in view of the match at lunchtime on Sunday at Ara in Bologna. The Rossoneri will thus be the last of the great north to compete in the hours of 12.30: Inter has already done at home against Cagliari and Parma, and Juventus with Genoa at the Marassi. Massimiliano Allegri's staff decided to change the timetable for two days of living in their Milanello to get used to the change. The players arrived at the sports center in Carnforth at around 9 am, had lunch at 9.30 and took to the field for training at 12.30, just as will happen Sunday in Bologna. Tomorrow we will reply with seat trim from 12.15 (one quarter of an hour before seeing the next day at Ara there will also be warming pre-game a few minutes before the starting whistle of the referee Rocchi). And Allegri anticipate the usual press conference the day before mid-morning.

But the former Cagliari coach has other problems, beyond the unusual time of the next day of the championship. The two injuries to Thiago Silva and Flamini, both stopped by knee problems, forced him to revise his plans. The Brazilian defender, who will be visited in Rio de Janeiro from doctor Jose Luiz Runco Seleçao is a guarantee in couples with Nesta. When there is still one of the two, Milan creaks. While the French midfielder had been important in recent weeks
since the coach has passed the winning formula of the three medians.

Allegri, however, can console themselves for at least two reasons. Pirlo is already back in the middle that can keep up the morale of the midfield. And it is barely two days to the Christmas break: after the Bologna there will be Roma at San Siro. So the likely month of absence of two injured players will be felt less in terms of games skipped. The two stop anyway to bring up the issue of land in San Siro, also appeared in better condition after the recent rizollatura. But the players still get hurt very often on the lawn of the Meazza.

In this regard it is interesting to note that in recent days Mauro Tassotti, assistant coach of AC Milan, has made an inspection of the synthetic turf of Novara in Serie B leaders, both those who exercise the lawn of Silvio Piola theater home games of the Piedmont (first non-natural background in two major categories of our soccer). We must consider that there is a Milanello artificial turf field, and then the visit may be related to a discussion of possible alternative surfaces for training. But, given the continuing problem of the lawn of San Siro (several times this season the players of Inter and Milan have complained), any hypothesis is possible. Not forgetting that some studies have estimated that up Uefa new generation synthetic turf injuries decreased by 30 percent compared to natural grass land often unpresentable.

Meanwhile, Ibrahimovic opens a controversy at a distance with Inter, Materazzi speaks a bit too much of myself, as Moratti. You see that I am still very important to them - the Swede said in an interview to Studio Sport XXL -. But I never talk about them, you see that are not important for me. Ibra is proved secure the strength of the Rossoneri, "Do not fear or Inter or Juventus or Roma or anyone. We just keep going and Milan will win it all. I knew from the first day I arrived here, the atmosphere there around me, that Milan is my team and where to end his career where he can win a lot. It is true that the team is Ibra-dependent, each of us depends on the other fellow.
