THE World Cup in Qatar officially came to life. Starting tonight, the other matches valid for the round of 16 will be played, which will then end the draw and define the next one in the quarterfinals. Several national tops have confirmed their strength and in fact there have not been, so far, substantial surprises for the eighths. However, some club coaches have already managed to embrace all the players who, on the contrary, were eliminated. Someone is also slowly returning to Italy and our Serie A is ready to welcome them to start the second part of the season.
Stefano Pioli, Milan coach and Sky Calcio Club guest yesterday, he spoke about the utilization of his players in Qatar. There are several stars at these World Cups, such as Giroud, but also and above all Leão. His signing for Portugal was not very high in the three group stage games and Pioli does not want to get into the merits. “I didn’t go into details to find out why he doesn’t play with Portugal” he explained, emphasizing, however, that he often heard it because of a rule he applied to the entire roster of players Rossoneri involved in the World Cup.
Stefano Pioli thus told a particular anecdote about this past told live: “I want to leave them alone, but I gave them a rule – explained the Milan coach – they have an obligation to call me every time they play, after the game, to let me know how they are doing.” Pioli’s concern is given by the current anomaly experienced this year with the dispute of the World Cup in the regular season. The Milan coach wants to check the physical condition of the players, especially those who are in the spotlight at the moment.
Leo is one of them. One of those players that kickstarted the post-lockdown revolution that literally changed a team that up until that point had looked totally underwhelming. It felt like the time had come for a change and instead Rangnick he jumped right on top. “Gazidis always behaved well to me back then – he said – He gathered the team one day at Milanello and said that we were all in discussions until the end of the championship. From that moment on, we only thought about working and when we met again when training started again at Milanello, something had changed…”
