Allegri undecided over Ibrahimovic partner and reveals his nervousness ahead of Inter Milan clash
A.C Milan manager, Massimiliano Allegri, has admitted that he is facing a huge dilemma in selecting a strike partner for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan.
Allegri has four top class strikers available in his squad and has to pick one of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Cassano-c6302 to partner the Swedish international. The tactician revealed that he is thinking of different formations and still hasn’t come up with an affirmative plan.
Allegri said, “Robinho, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Prince-Boateng-c20792, Antonio Cassano and Alexandre Pato are battling it out for two starting spots. These are never easy decisions, especially for a game that could go to extra time, so I need everybody.”
Milan will miss three of their four new buys this summer, as Stephan El Shaarawy and Philippe Mexes are out of the clash through injuries, while, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Taye-Taiwo-c34728 is carrying suspension from his previous team.
The 43-year-old is unaware of the formation Inter Milan manager, Gian Piero Gasperini, will play in this game. The former Cagliari manager believes http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dejan-Stankovic-c10793 will have a huge role to play if he recovers from the injury.
“I don’t know if Inter will take on a new tactical approach, as only Gian Piero Gasperini knows that. If Dejan Stankovic recovers from that knee problem, he’ll be an important player for this match. He’s a warrior, so I expect him to be there. If I could take anyone away from Inter, it would be Samuel Eto’o and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wesley-Sneijder-c36799.”
Allegri refused to count his team as favourites for the clash and insisted that both teams will start the game on equal footing. The tactician revealed that he is feeling nervous ahead of the game and definitely wants to win the clash.
Despite their domination in the game for the past two decades, the two teams will lock horns for the first time in the competition’s history. However, both sides have won the competition five times each and are joint-most successful teams in the history of the competition.
