Milanello Corner

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.

Another disappointing result occurred for Ac Milan this midweek as they still couldn't break their winless home streak in this early part of the season.  A 0-0 draw against Belgium champions, Anderlecht, in the magical Champions League night brought massive jeers from the home crowd, who are anxiously waiting to see their side start winning at San Siro.

A moment of uncertainties creeping down into the head of Ac Milan players as they walked off from San Siro pitch minutes after suffering another disappointing home defeat in Serie A.  The 1-0 loss against Atalanta also marked their worse league start in after 80 years, not in terms of points gained, but much more because of picking up two home defeats already in such an early start.

Already heading into their final match on US. Tour, Ac Milan still haven't made  new progress in the transfer market as their latest transfer target, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa's deal apparently wen't 'dead' (for now) as vice president, Adriano Galliani, revealed that Montpellier rejected Rossoneri's bid. Although Galliani claimed that the move for Yanga Mbiwa has been shut down, many believes that the 23-year-old defender eventually will arrive at San Siro, considering his contract runs out in 2013.

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.

Although there's been a twist of the tale recently, Thiago Silva's departure from Milanello is apparently eminent as both Ac Milan along with Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed the Brazilian defender's departure. Many fans might still be surprised since not long ago the Rossoneri actually announced that they're extending the ex-Fluminese man's contract, only to eventually sell the center back in the end.

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.

Ac Milan finally begin their new season's adventure on Monday, July 9, starting the first training session at Milanello, along with introducing some of Rossoneri's summer signings, Francesc Acerbi,      Kevin Constant and also Bakaye Traore.  Obviously not all of the new players are available, since Riccardo Montolivo is still being given a holiday after his participation at the recent Euro 2012 tournee, where he performed very well for Gli Azzurri.

As the Euro 2012 reaching its final stage, many clubs are soon ready to start their new season and some have already set dates for their friendly pre-season matches, including Ac Milan . Up till now, the red and black squad have been confirming several important dates, starting from their raduno (first training session) that starts on July 9, followed with some matches such as the annual Trofeo TIM , a friendly against Schalke along with the anticipated U.S. Tour .

Italia's success in reaching the Euro 2012 final next Sunday raises lots of beliefs not only for Azzurri's fans but partly Ac Milan's tifosi as they eventually witnessed the true potential of their players, mainly new signing, Riccardo Montolivo .  Although ex-Milan star, Andrea Pirlo, is still leading the pack but Montolivo's contribution in Cesare Prandelli's side last two matches have brighten up some of the ex-Fiorentina man's doubters.

Ac Milan 's primavera side advanced into their league competition's semifinal after beating their bitter rival, Juventus youngsters 2-0 in Gubbio on Sunday evening. Goals from Simone Andrea Ganz followed by Mattia Valoti , give Aldo Dolcetti side's a massive opportunity in challenging for this year's Scudetto although another tough match awaits them in the next round as Inter Milan will be Il Rossoneri's opponent.

The latest 2010 World Cup results have put the Italian soccer's credibility at stake as they fail to qualify from the group stage despite their defending champion status. Making things much more worse, the Azzurri fail to win a single game on the group which consist of opponents that on paper are weaker than them. That epic failure has slammed the face of the footballing country's soccer federation, resulting the implementation of some new rules and projects to get more quality local players for the Azzurri's future.

Starting from today, I will try to capture the current transfer movement in this silly season, which already started despite the fact that the market won't be officially opened until July 1. However, some new signings already arrived for the Rossoneri and rumors keeps on coming to provide plenty early excitement along with unnecessary disappointment from Milanisti.

When some fans are busy arguing which super stars that they're looking forward to see at Ac Milan , the Ganso mania, the Fabregas, and everything. Personally, I'm more excited with the arrival of Stephan El Shaarawy along with the return of Alberto Paloschi , who both will be joined with Marco Fossati , Simone Calvano , Mattia Valoti and Mattia De Sciglio in the pre-season training that starts on July 12. Those players are the youngsters that I really hope can start showing their talents to Masimiliano Allegri  and forced some good playing time in the upcoming season.
