It's not my Milan

roviamo to think about the choices of Mr. Allegri, who knows maybe for an explanation also shared through the voice of the dissatisfied. Let's say unequivocally that this analysis is biased in part, so only ask you to imagine the suffering mingled with which it was drawn up and at least appreciate the intellectual honesty for which has been published.

The solution of the three medians, adopted a few months ago, has made many fans scrambled for joy. The resistance of a small minority, however, disappointed in part to show how this method is retrogressive as prolific, has not yet been fully digested in its entirety. The results, at least in the league, they seem to reward this strategy typically provincial, clearly no offense to those who are forced to make a virtue of necessity.

Let's just say that the enthusiastic acceptance of this modus operandi can be justified only by the results so far, as satisfying as proportional to the lead in the standings. But the repetition of performance, in terms of the game, a bit 'disappointing, could also be a clear warning, at least to reflect on the attitude to pull back and doubt on some of the reasons for the decline in the quality of team play.

Come to the point. We have read and heard some comments that they judged the performance of spurs much speculation. We want to believe that these observations have not deliberately taken into account the value of the opponents and that are incurred only in part to justify the wicked choices, otherwise we should infer that the nonsense is to be given to those who have watched a different game.

Why friends while playing within the walls, between the two teams, the most guilty of defeatist attitude was paradoxically Milan. We're not here to mention tactically teams excelled and have made the history of football, but two examples to better explain this kind of reasoning, then they should be.

The late Bearzot, branded as a defensive irreducible in 1982 lined up at the same time, the team he graduated from the world champion, Conti, Antognoni, Smith and Graziani. Four offensive players with features only. Fabio Capello, coach of the glory that was to Milan, to say the critics, to express to the team in a less spectacular in the Athens final, against Barcelona won 4-0, fielded Albertini, Boban, Donadoni, and Savicevic Massaro, with only Desally under interdiction.

Have you ever wondered how many players with quality offensive, or otherwise capable of building high-level textures, game, there were in the field Tuesday night in the ranks of red and black? Now I wonder and I ask you: is it possible that the most successful team in the world will come up with training so timid and defeatist in a crucial race for the sprint in the Champions League? Would not be sufficient on this occasion only two mastiffs in the middle of the field? After all, while three were not equally guilty of Lennon at the time of the restart, then resulted in goals from Crouch? Where did it end the personality, class, excellent, intuitive ability to interpret the most direct confrontation, which had one of Milan's most renowned and feared teams the last two decades on the international stage? When you Flamini and Gattuso have lost their reason, perhaps because powerless against an opponent and faster time dynamic setting, we were owned by a disquieting fear: that the ruler of Milan rivals and master of the game was now light years away from the Meazza .

Yet this season the squad is complete and consistent team in all departments, there are few excuses that can justify a performance so disrespectful with the crest of the jersey. There are many races where the team is contracted as a ferrari driven, out of fear, with the handbrake on, unable to unleash the power and the strength of his horses.

We clear how this strategy affects the performance and conditions, by imposing personality and good game, more aspects of our consolidated and virtuous, a hard blow. Because then the signs of convulsive end of the race, we put at risk another consolidated assets in recent years: respect for opponents.

Gattuso has repented. This is a credit to himself (we had no doubt) and appease the resentment on the part of ethics for his gesture. Allegri, falsely cheerful, we immediately put a lid on it, as if the incident would involve not in any way. And society? Galliani talks about provocation, while preparing a defense.

With more class maybe you had to ask just an excuse. We do not believe that this is the style Mila and Gattuso did not say why it crashed on the former as an angry shark Jordan, the undisputed idol of a distant childhood. We say this because everything that happens on the field, even after the race, can have much more negative reflections of the defeat itself.

Marseille docet. One gets the impression, finally, that the approach to the races, even in the league, is unjustifiably too nervous in some ways even hysterical. We all know that these are not signs of strength but of weakness. We have repeatedly noted overly aggressive attitudes, both among peers than with their opponents.

Do not yet understand what is going on in the locker room. Not if we understand these are the values underlying the new project. Certainly this is not the team we knew very thick human. Nor is this the team's spectacular and beautiful game that has earned acclaim and respect throughout the world.

Simply this is not my Milan.
