La Gazzetta dello Sport in today's print edition remind us that the Rossoneri team of Stefano Pioli will meet on July 4th to start preparations for the new season. As for players who are in international duty, they will return 6 days after.
On July 16th, there will be a friendly game with German club FC Koln and from 23 to 27 July as already widely reported, work will continue in Austria as two friendlies are expected.
Stefano Pioli will have some important challenges to undertake. The 'headlight off' effect is over. The Rossoneri have to repeat themselves. The target for the red and black faithful is to have the second star on the shirt. Another challenge for the head coach is to keep winning trophies always.
- The challenge in Europe. Origi and Giroud will give experience and goals to go further in the Champions League. Milan will start in the first bracket
- The times for inserting the new ones up to now have been impeccable. It will also have to happen with those who arrive during the summer: De Ketelaere, Botman and Lang are in the sights.
- In 2023 Pioli will also find Ibra again who should be deployed and used with care.
- In midfield, Renato Sanches should be good to pick up the legacy of Franck Kessié.
