‘A Diary with too many pages to burn’ – Pellegatti offers reflection on Milan’s season so far

Carlo Pellagatti has given his thoughts about AC Milan’s campaign to these points, and it would be fair to say he would not wipe out a positive character.

Milan is in Zagreb tonight hoping to mark another goal after Supercoppa Italiana Triumph in Saudi Arabia: Qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League directly by finishing within the top eight places.

However, the form in Europe (five wins in a row) is offset by matches in Serie A. who have have already been several sagas tooFrom the cooling break in Rome to the penalty mutiny in Florence and most recently Calabria-Conceicao spat After the Parma victory.

Pellegatti has published his weekly column to Milannews From Croatia and he talked about the current moment the team is already in the middle of a crazy season. The first bit of the title reads: ‘A diary with too many pages to burn. Minus one: The cover ‘.

“I write these lines in the press room at Stadium Maximir in Zagreb. Excitement and feelings on the threshold of a Big Champions League match, ”he began.

“A match that will have important consequences for the league campaign because Milan, in the case of a win or even a draw, but tied to other results could have another part of February only occupied the obligations to Verona, Torino and Lazio, before returning to the cup.

“But which Milan will be the one on Croatian Earth? Understanding Rossoneri’s technical and mental moods seems like a titanic business, even for those who have led them in recent months and who are training them today.

“Unfortunately during the league season, the Easter metaphor is always current. Milan takes the field, opens the foil, breaks chocolate eggs, and you can find both a Tiffany jewel and a plastic soldier.

“But not in Europe where ‘Cup Egg’ has given magnificent jewels. A diamond from Rawalpindi shining in Madrid night. So four diamonds, maybe not 24 carat, but 18 carat yes!

“Victories over Bruges, then against the Slovan Bratislava, Red Star and Girona were also precious. To end the magnificent necklace now lacks the victory in Zagreb, which would be the apotheosis of a beautiful farm of Grande Milan. Six wins in the last six games.

“To forget about so many turbulent weeks, full of episodes that I can’t remember in Rossoneri’s history. A diary of ugly pages that I hope will be burned soon.

“The last, among the most bitter and painful, the last Sunday when I saw two… Rossoneri Brothers argued vulgar in the middle of the San Siro railway. At the laws that came with the most famous masters! Very, very sad!

“I hope that only the first page of this diary remains, the one that is colored by the image of happy boys with a cup raised against the sky. Waiting to write, this season, more fun and spectacular, maybe with Kyle Walker, a new great master.

“Let’s close with a mention of the January market. At present, we are used to long, very long negotiations, which always start with offers that are often not even considering other clubs. Milan, I insist on, would need a midfielder as an alternative to Fofana because the team that is true has many good midfielders, but No one with the Frenchman’s properties.

“As for the center we are now on a wall against a wall. Feyenoord, who does not want to sell Santiago Gimenez, would only change his mind with an offer close to € 50 million. Milan started with € 20m plus € 7 million. In bonuses.

“So here comes another negotiation that quickly turned into yet another exhausting torment that makes ‘Sentieri’, a soap opera that began in 1937 and ended in 2009, looks like a video clip directed by John Landis.”
