Milanello Corner

Still in the early days of preseason training, AC Milan new head coach, Vincenzo Montella is setting up a serious work as he is expecting to implement a working method and playing style for the Rossoneri. "Our objectives? We must build a working method and a style of play. And there's the market, of course," Montella stated as quoted on Football-Italia.  Aside from the importance of transfer market, Montella acknowledge that crafting that certain style of play which can please everyone, notable the fans is important as that's what has been missing from Milan recently. Being known as a tactician with clear ideas about his football, it's no surprise that the tactician is setting his focus more on that aspect.

AC Milan 's reign under Vincenzo Montella starts off in a positive fashion as Rossoneri picked up a 2-1 win over French side Bordeaux in their first preseason friendly. The Red and Black squad netted all of their goals during the firs 45 minutes through Suso's double. Bordeaux pulled one back in the second half after host of substitution being brought into the tie, killing off any control that Milan build during the first half. Despite being their first ever preseason game, Rossoneri were keen on introducing their new game plan since kick off and there's glimpse of that possession play Montella is keen on having. Nevertheless, it was never going to be executed perfectly considering they are still at an early phase of training session. Still, Milan actually managed to hold the ball well, but heavy legs along with lack some lack of communication in the final third broke down many attacking plays.
