7 Obstacles to overcome: against Cagliari there’s more at stake than 3 points

In a few hours AC Milan will face Cagliari in what will be the first obstacle to overcome from here until the next international break.

Today Cagliari, Thursday in Luxembourg with Dudelange and then Atalanta, Empoli, Sassuolo, Olympiacos and Chievo. For AC Milan, the tour de force has officially started. The Rossoneri will play every three days, between Serie A and Europa League. Now the time has come to raise the bar. Gennaro Gattuso, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport, will have to make points in Sardinia to successfully overcome the first of seven obstacles from here to the next international break.

HEAD AND MANAGEMENT – Against Cagliari, observes La Gazzetta, there is something more at stake than just the three points. Because, while Juve runs ahead, there are already those who are struggling. So why not think big? Rino, however, brakes: “We must not send any signal to the championship“. The goal, or rather, the imperative is to win. To do this Gattuso’s squad must keep its head inside the match and learn how to manage the moments, especially those uncomfortable. Milan loves to play the ball but often risks sliding on the first difficulty.
