Today's edition of Il Giornale, on newsstands this morning, headlines:
"Milan, the road to the derby starts in Pisa: a place dear to Max."
After ten days without matches, the Rossoneri return to the pitch tonight at Pisa's home ground.
For Massimiliano Allegri, this is an important game, not only because his team must win at all costs to put pressure on Inter, who face Juventus tomorrow, but also because he will return to the stadium where, in 1989, he made his Serie A debut as a player for the Tuscan club against Sacchi’s Milan.
This is the first of four matches that will lead Milan to the derby against Inter on March 7 or 8. The Rossoneri, currently eight points behind in the standings with a game in hand, want to try to claw back some points from the Nerazzurri ahead of the Milanese showdown. To do so, they will first need to string together victories against Pisa, Como, Parma, and Cremonese, and then hope for some slip-ups from Chivu’s team.
