AC Milan players have been relentless starting the season more early than any other Serie A team and also featuring in various games with their respective rationals.
Between Serie A, Europa League and the national teams, AC Milan’s players have already played 108 games. This morning, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that no one has played in Italy so much. And from Sunday on, the formation of Montella will start another tour de force that will force it to play seven games in three weeks.
As La Gazzetta writes, at the beginning of September, the red and blacks boast more than twice the appearances number of their Serie A colleagues. 19 year old striker Patrick Cutrone, leads this special classification with 8 games, followed by Andre Silva and Franck Kessie at 7. There are 6 matches played by Andrea Conti, Ricardo Rodriguez, Cristian Zapata and Hakan Calhanoglu, while Gigio Donnarumma, captain Leonardo Bonucci, Manuel Locatelli, Fabio Borini and Suso have played 5 games. These numbers are obviously expected to increase in the coming weeks, in which Milan is expected to have various commitments between Serie A and Europa League.
In such a particular situation, the careful management of the group by the coach becomes fundamental. And Vincenzo Montella, in his career, has already proven able to lead a team with so many commitments. While at Fiorentina, for example, L’Aeroplanino played two editions of the Europa League, with several commitments placed between the league games and with good results as the viola formation always finished in the top four in Serie A and in Coppa Italia managed to finish once in the quarter finals and once in semifinal.
