AC Milan - Milanfan.com _ News _ Allegri told to win Lo Scudetto

Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has told boss Massimiliano Allegri to go and win the Scudetto following the capture of Nigel De Jong.
The Rossoneri have done a deal with Manchester City for the Dutchman who will reinforce a side which lost a host of key players over the summer.
“Now Allegri has no more excuses,” Galliani told the Gazzetta dello Sport. “Milan, thanks to our last four signings, are now back in the Scudetto race.
“De Jong is one of the strongest players in Europe in his role and he will, without a doubt, do very well for us.
“The gap between ourselves and our rivals has decreased and Allegri can no longer hide. We need to play to win the League, not to just finish third.”
The Diavolo have gone through some mass changes after most of their veterans left at the end of their contracts in June, while the club sold Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Paris SG.
As well as De Jong, Milan have also recently brought in Giampaolo Pazzini, Bojan Krkic and M'Baye Niang.
The Rossoneri started the season last weekend with a 1-0 home defeat to Sampdoria.
I'm seriously starting to doubt his sanity. not to mention his tone towards Allgeri is not nice one bit. "Allegri has no more excuses", "Allegri can no longer hide". what the...?

I don't believe it. This is not the sort of thing that he does normally. Galliani always paints the 'big happy family' bit.

He still believes in the family. But now it's like "listen guys we are all a family... but if any one of you does not do his goddamn job properly... I'm gonna play the role of the abusive father... and you won't like it!"

^ Exactly. Even players know that they have more responsibility now. Just read the pre-season interviews, you'll see.

Delusional
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Aug 31 2012, 11:25 AM
Yes, but I read another version somewhere, where it doesn't say anything like this 'no excuse', 'no hiding' thing. Just the fact that we ought to challenge.

Hmh, interesting.

@ Jack
But over the years I've found football-italia to be reliable. I don't think they've just put words in Galliani's mouth.

In this case FI is quoting another source isn't it? You're right though. FI never makes stuff up.

There's a video of Galliani I posted in summer transfers 2012 thread. It's in Italian and you can hear what he says from his mouth.

As I said as soon as Zlatan and Silva were sold, they will not be replaced, Allegri will be given an impossible job and then used as the scapegoat for the season.

Which, in the end, is good for us. The sooner we get rid of him, the better. Mediocre coach.

*Champion coach.

Let's see.
The neutral that I am when it comes to Allegri, he nevertheless is on the right track to match Carlo Ancelotti's haul of domestic titles in Serie A. Can't really see him winning this year, unless we get a real creative player in these dying hours of the transfer window, or Allegri really stamps his authority on the team.Posted by: Fillipo Simone Aug 31 2012, 03:19 PM
Kurt, do you think every coach who's won the Serie A is by default a good coach?
Why do you think Allegri is good beside the trophy he won?

@Fillipo: I think Allegri is a good coach because he won Serie A with a bad team in his debut season. It's not often coaches can win a league title without any quality midfielder.
Posted by: acid911 Aug 31 2012, 03:44 PM
My point was, he very well could be stranded on 1 title in four or five years.
Like Carlo. I don't know how many of you have gotten over the fact that we totally let the title slip this year. Like a team of madmen. Silva's injury against Roma started a downward spiral that we never recovered from, and gave Juventus more than a sniff.So that's 1 in two years, this year I'm not totally optimistic, so it could be 1 in three. Or even four, if he lasts.

I agree, but it was rather the circumstances that made him win the scudetto.
With coaches like Zaccheroni you can find the same - he won it as well, with a pretty similarly unimpressive team.

Juventus were the better team all season long and ad a far superior squad (not to mention they didn't have half the injuries we did.
If Allegri makes the CL this season it'd be a massive success.

Not only has $h!tlegri turned us around....he's bent us over as well 
Granted our plight is one of lack of personnel....however we aren't quite at the Alalanta and co. level yet. Won't go into too much detail since almost everyone is seeing what I saw in him since day #1 which is .....NOTHING!!!
An absolute dearth of ideas and invention of any sort and an appalling squandering of the diminishing resources that we have or had. From eliminating ronaldinho and P!rl0 to falling out with practically everyone and their waterboy are his few saving graces really that substantial so as to warrant his continued presence?

This sounds even funnier (or sadder) now than it did at the beginning of the season.
Posted by: X-Offender Oct 26 2012, 03:02 PM
I think he was referring to the Scudetto of Serie B next season. Galliani always likes to talk in advance.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Oct 26 2012, 03:53 PM
Hopefully not.

Anyone remembers this? What a joke.

This is the funniest part. These 4 players should guarantee a league title?
