Milanello Corner

In the past couple of days, the footballing world has received a slight shock wave due to Gianluigi Donnarumm a's decision not to renew with AC Milan. Although it's often seen as quite normal for any player to opt out on his contract, but the young goalie's decision, notably created such thunder for many, especially those in Italy. Aside from the basic contractual thingy, eventually many speculation eventually rises regarding the 18-year-old's rejection of renewal. From those who despite that decision, even to some who seemingly try to make right of the situation by once again putting doubts on Rossoneri's project. Looking it from the outside, it's certainly a situation which I didn't really predict at first, sine just like I wrote in my previous transfer analysis, the keeper situation looked more than a chess match at the time, but things suddenly evolving into an odd manner.

Riccardo Montolivo 's arrival at AC Milan last summer carried little doubts from many Rossoneri faithful on whether his the right man to lead Milan's midfield line after being left with names such as Andrea Pirlo, Clarence Seedorf and also Gennaro Gattuso. That trust didn't escalated much during the early part of Milan's new season as they were struggling to pick up positive results, while Montolivo himself was still adapting with his new teammates along with several different midfield positions during those days.

Suffering three defeats from four games, is not the start that AC Milan were writing in their early season script, but just like a series of unfortunate events, that's simply the fate that Rossoneri must endure. After last weekend's defeat against Udinese, this midweek, the Rossoneri already have the chance to redeem their current bad patch, although many problems still clouding their path.

AC Milan tasted another defeat but Massimiliano Allegri's future apparently might still alive considering the messy circumstances that hit Il Rossoneri at Friuli stadium.  Having two players sent off in the second period simply cost Milan the game, which is already difficult to begin with. Cristian Zapata might reconsider his decision to lunge a tackle the resulted in his dismissal along with a penalty kick, but Kevin Prince Boateng might really need to control his discipline after he also got a marching order 10 minutes from time.

Massimiliano Allegri 's faith is hanging in very tight rope at the moment as many Italian press suggested that the upcoming match against Udinese on Sunday, could be the final test for him this season. Although this possibility has been denied by Ac Milan 's vice president, Adriano Galliani, but one can't really be sure about Allegri's future, especially after a rather similar situation occurred regarding Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva's departure this summer.

Ac Milan continue their training session this time with a mini game between ranks as coach Massimiliano Allegri divided the group into two teams, Rossonero and Bianco.  The Red n Black side consist mostly of first team players with the exception of Bryan Cristante, Davide Pacifico and Bastone in the first half but only Pacifico stayed until the end of that 50 minutes game.

Ac Milan coaching staffs kept their words in changing this season training methods as they believe several programs last season played a part in boosting their players' ridiculous injury situation.  Although the usual physical training is still being given but apparently this time, Milan are putting more with the ball drills for their players, which can be seen in several latest training videos posted on the internet.

Silly season has been one of the most frustrating time for many football fans, including Milanisti this days, especially since two of their main stars, Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic , who can't seem to get their names out of the press' ink. Those two names practically have been on going-not going mode since the start of the transfer market, with Paris Saint-Germain being the most consistent potential buyer for those two with recent rumors stating a fee around 60-70 million being throw around by the media. It's obviously a rather odd since not long ago Rossoneri's vice manager, Adriano Galliani, continously confirmed that Silva and Ibrahimovic are not for sale despite their current high earnings.
