Today Allegri, thanks to the three goal lead against Verona and a last half hour that objectively had little to offer, let everyone play a bit. It was clear to Odogu, making his first appearance in the championship, that he had only graced the San Siro pitch in the Italian Cup with Lecce. Eight minutes, injury time included. Shortly before it was the turn of Jashari, Athekame and Ricci: three others who play less and who can only be given good minutes by giving them minutes. Don’t call them desaparecidos, in the new year they could be useful in rotations.
different cases

However, they all have different situations. Jashari recently returned after a compound fracture of the fibula, which kept him out for three months. The Swiss midfielder met again with Lazio and in Riyadh with Napoli. He came in today, playing a good 20 minutes, one pitch and some good ideas. The feeling is that he still needs a couple of weeks to get back into shape and gain confidence. Odogu, on the other hand, is a 2006 player with very little experience behind him: just 3 appearances with the pros, before landing at Milanello. Too little. Allegri is throwing him in slowly, he doesn’t think he’s ready yet and doesn’t want to burn him. Ergo, a central defender will be needed from the market. Time will take care of David, who is known to be a gentleman. Different chapter again for Athekame. Tare likes him a lot and wanted him decisively, but Allegri is using him sparingly. So far he hasn’t been very convincing, he has played little (only one match as a starter) and scored a decisive goal against Pisa, 2-2 in the last minute. Then, not much else to report. In between also a calf injury which caused him to lose minutes and continuity. Lastly, Ricci, who is the one who has played the most at the moment and who probably offers the most guarantees. He has made fifteen appearances so far, seven as a starter. Plus, study under Modric and it will certainly do him good.
goal co-op

Other data. Allegri’s Milan is a goal cooperative. With Nkunku’s two goals, the number of Rossoneri players who have scored so far in Serie A becomes 12. Only Inter and Juventus have done better. A sign that the squad is large and everyone will be needed. Waiting for the market. Especially in such a busy January. Max keeps everyone on edge: of course, as long as you win by such a large margin, everything is a little easier.
