Massimiliano Allegri wants to strengthen the national identity in this Milan side, which in recent years has paid little attention to tradition. It is no coincidence that the first signing of the new Rossoneri era was Samuele Ricci, and that the first player to arrive at Milanello yesterday — even before the coach himself — was Matteo Gabbia.
With the start of the new season, the process of "Italianizing" Milan has officially begun, and it wouldn’t be surprising if more Italians arrive during this transfer window, such as Giovanni Leoni and one between Mateo Retegui and Lorenzo Lucca for the attack.
Allegri starts again with Gabbia and Ricci
Max Allegri’s goal is to build a competitive and Italian Milan — something that hasn’t been the case in recent years. That’s why Tuttosport this morning focused on Samuele Ricci and Matteo Gabbia, who are 23 and 25 years old respectively. Given their ages, we’re no longer talking about youngsters, but rather developed players who could prove more than useful to this new Rossoneri project. And perhaps Allegri will choose to rely on them, build around them, and restart from them in shaping a new Milan DNA — while waiting for other Italian players to contribute to this goal, as relayed via Milannews.it.
