Milanello Corner

AC Milan picked up another positive result on their preseason friendly as they see off German giant, Bayern Munich 5-3 in penalties after drawing 3-3 during 90 minutes time. After winning 2-1 against Bordeaux in their first friendly game, Milan immediately got themselves a tough encounter which they were able to get through in a positive fashion, despite stating that more improvement is still needed from Vincenzo Montella's men but some good signs can already be seen, notably on the fact that players are looking more confident and comfortable with the ball.

AC Milan 's Slovakian international midfielder, Juraj Kucka, finally returned to Milanello last Wednesday, after spending an extended holiday due to his participation in Euro 2016. Soon after getting back into training, Kucka spent some of his time talking to the club's official website sharing some of his views, notably about the chance of working with new tactician Vincenzo Montella. The former Genoa midfielder admitted that he is looking forward to get to know more about Montella's attacking style of football, while hoping that he can further improve under the tactician's reign."I just got back and I am eager to understand Coach Montella's training methods and style of play," Kucka explained.

A concerning news arrived from AC Milan camp as their new signing, Gianluca Lapadula might not be available for the Rossoneri's upcoming US Tour 2016 as his injury apparently quite serious. Reports from Italian media stating that the former Pescara star picked up an ankle injury and has been working separately from the first team in an attempt to recover from his problems. However, apparently the attacker will be needing more time to recover with prediction claiming he might be available for training with the full squad on August 5, which is right after Milan's final game in the USA.
