EVE
Carlos Augusto’s condition is at the top of Raffaele Palladino’s thoughts in the week leading up to Monza-Milan on Saturday afternoon. The Brazilian full-back, stopped due to a grievance in finishing up before the match in Bologna, is still in doubt for the match at the U-Power Stadium, scheduled for 6pm. At the beginning of the week, mixed work for him too with those employed at the Dall’Ara, with sitting by the pool on Mondays and differentiated on Tuesdays open to the public. To make up for Carlos’ absence, which seems to take shape as the hours go by, Palladino should deploy Patrick Ciurria and Samuele Birindelli on the side lanes, ahead of Bologna’s man of the match, Giulio Donati. In defense, the former Inter player Luca Caldirola is the favorite over Marlon in the three-way pack with Pablo Marì and Armando Izzo. Back in Emilia after the November injury with Verona, Stefano Sensi is instead playing his chances next to Nicolò Rovella: in case of confirmation from the first minute, Matteo Pessina would move close to Andrea Petagna, with Gianluca Caprari ahead on Dany Mota Carvalho for the last free box.
The match on Saturday 18 February at 18) is Silvio Berlusconi’s derby of the heart and awakens many memories between the present and the past. Silvio Berlusconi – now owner of Monza, but president of the Rossoneri for 20 years – was interviewed by Sky Sport in Arcore and recounted the emotions that accompany the approach to the match, hoping it will end “in a draw, which doesn’t hurt Nobody”. All my life I have had dreams that seemed impossible to everyone. When I took on Milan, I wanted them to become the strongest team in the world and I succeeded,” Berlusconi claimed. “I won everything. I have a strong memory of 94′. I was in Rome to ask the government for confidence and therefore I was unable to see the final in Athens. I called Galliani after the game and he told me we had won 4-0. However, putting together all that we have won, I still feel a little pride inside”.
