Allegri comes out against Ajax ko painless with a certainty: Swedish (and with him Nesta and Gattuso) are the watchwords of the team. The confirmation of the Brazilian disappointing, it is not obvious: Liverpool and Palmeiras to the window. Next Friday the draw: the only real bugbear is the Barça
LONDON - Without raising his voice, but with the firmness required by the circumstances, Allegri explained why the defeat against Ajax is not going down: It is true that the reasons have made the difference, but this does not justify the provision. The Milan coach does not believe that the first defeat after eight games without blemish and very convincing, has eroded the esteem of the team. At the start there were only four owners in the field, most currently in competition with Seedorf Boateng: If your qualification is not already served before the game, the real Milan he would not be beat by the disciples of neo-technical Frank De Boer, who has chosen definitely a training pool and increased the degree of difficulty. But the bad impression remains, as the statistic: AC Milan goes to the knockout stages of the Champions League thanks to two wins with Auxerre, last in the ranking round, and two draws with Real Madrid (at home) and Ajax (away). Now wait without trembling the next Friday's draw in Nyon: who knows, are captured Schalke, Shakhtar Tottenham or, in the end they can afford. Not even the seemingly impossible Bayern and Manchester United. And the Chelsea of today is in crisis. Only Barcelona puts a lot of apprehension. But the truth is that the first Italian league still does not know its value in Europe. In essence, it is better to take it easy, try doing as Allegri. "Nobody can know in what conditions will be in February these seven potential our opponents, nor under what conditions we will. I'm not a soothsayer".
RONALDINHO IN BALANCE - But you do not need a crystal ball to understand that the future of Ronaldinho is still uncertain. After seven benches in a row, he missed the game for his return as a starter. It is on a bit in the final both times, but overall was very incisive and in a state of frustration. This was spotted by a couple of dangerous slide in revenue, with which he tried to steal the ball to the goalkeeper Stekelenburg. Part of the public Meazza him mercilessly booed. Tactically the former Ballon d'Allegri has so many excuses and defended him. "When the team does not play well and has little motivation for the individual it is difficult to emerge". Of course, the context was not the best for redemption and the absence of a true striker - Robinho is not - it made it more complicated play of Ronaldinho, who in fact have improved with the arrival of the Ibrahimovic 19 of recovery. However, it is also true: the conditions - playing almost immediately without anxiety, because Real was maramaldeggiando Auxerre and Ajax had just come into the guarantee of Champions League regardless of the outcome of the Meazza - were the most conducive to extemporaneous Dinho creations. At the end of the Brazilian game has guaranteed that it will respect the contract that binds him to Milan until June, "I am comfortable knowing to stay. It an important season for the first time since we are here leading the championship. I want to embarrass Allegri, when I put in the field. This time it was not easy, I played as a striker I have improved in the second half by midfielder. Declarations of intent, however, does not erase the fact that confirmation is not granted in January. Will largely depend upon any financial offers of the buyers, who must ensure the player's engagement over 4 million remaining to be here after this season, and the technical conditions. The Brazil coach Menezes told Ronaldinho that if he does not play in a league of high-level (not in U.S. soccer for the Los Angeles Galaxy), will lose Seleçao. There remains, therefore, the assumptions Liverpool and Palmeiras.
IBRA & C., THE ESSENTIAL - The 0-2 with Ajax has also confirmed that Milan can not help but light-hearted at the same time many owners, in particular that three of them are essential: in defense of Nesta, Gattuso in midfield, Ibrahimovic in attack (but also the veteran Zambrotta can authoritatively subscribe to the list). The first two provide security, attention to tactics and pace of their respective departments, is essential in the Swedish attack. Even if the goal is not reached, only Ibrahim came when the team was really dangerous and you're finally flowed a bit faster. The finding is both comforting and worrying. On the one hand Allegri be pleased: it makes available a sample immediately tricky opponents for every action and attack from both the shooter and finisher on the pivot or (when it comes back when you move down the flanks, when tame balloons difficult and immediately download them to his companions), is the focus of the game. The other will be alarmed at the lack of an adequate stand-in or as an alternative relentless Inzaghi, whose serious injury remains a significant handicap. For this Galliani will move firmly to the market in January, looking for a striker. The goal is to get more and more discovered the ownership of Matri, but it is invaluable to the Cagliari Donadoni. "We need one from Milan", he annotated Allegri, who coached Matri until last season and knows the quality.
ADIEU, MATHIEU - Another reason for concern comes from evidence of Yepes and Boateng. Preferred Papastathopulos, the Colombian defender has committed a few errors and has confirmed that Nesta has no substitute to it. AC Milan will accelerate the negotiation is not easy for David Luiz Benfica (for June), hoping that the problem does not become urgent. Boateng, deployed in the median time after injury to Flamini and maybe a bit stuck against the risk of reprimand and a suspension is not a professional interditore: Compared with Gattuso, Ambrosini and at the same Flamini, offers no protection to the defense and tactical limitations are quite evident. It is no coincidence that it has deployed recently by Allegri playmaker sui generis, in competition with Seedorf, who in turn seems to have become hot only when the games really count: that Ajax did not belong to the category. The coach then had a way contrary to the incident which has been out of the way the French stretching collateral ligament in his right knee Flamini take away from the scene for the last two commitments for 2010, with Bologna, and Sunday in the round with Christmas Roma, narrowing the choices. Allegri considers it essential to close the year reinforces the first in the league. "In January we will have a game every three days, better to face that period with the best ranking possible".
