After the second day of tests, today is scheduled as a rest day, with a mandatory training camp stay at Milanello this evening in preparation for the official start of pre-season tomorrow. The aim is not only to build team unity but also to instill a sense of responsibility in the players after last season’s eighth-place finish.
During these first two days of work, Massimiliano Allegri has had the chance to get acquainted with his players, but the Rossoneri coach is eagerly awaiting the return of the group’s leaders — those from whom this new cycle will begin.
In fact, La Gazzetta dello Sport ran the following headline this morning:
“The new Leao is back. And Maignan remains captain"
That is despite all the ups and downs of a summer that seemed like it might never end, but which was finally resolved after the definitive rejection of Chelsea’s offer for the French goalkeeper.
