MILANELLO – The rossoneri started training yesterday morning at 10.15 on the lower pitch at Milanello and once again Mihajlovic focused the session very much on tactics. On the pitch next to the raised one, the goalkeepers were working hard with their coach Magni.

The session continued with a workout around cones, with different sprints, running exercises and speeds over short distances. That was followed by some exercises over low obstacles and then some long passing drills in pairs. Then it went back to tactics, like at the start of the session but this time with the goalkeepers involved.

The training session finished with some dead ball situations.

The coach, Sinisa Mihajlovic, was in Munich ahead of the team to hold the press conference for the presentation of the AUDI Cup 2015 while the players will left Milan at 5pm.

This morning the players were signing shirts in the hotel that hosts the three visiting teams (Real Madrid and Tottenham as well) before a work-out session in the gym to prepare for the match this evening against hosts Bayern Munich at a sold out Allianz Arena.

MILAN – Today the Primavera team visited the Nqabakazulu Comprehensive High School of Kwamashu, 32km north of Durban, following the end of the international tournament.

The players said hello to the children of the school then played with the pupils and gave them some footballing equipment. It proved to be a real experience for the young rossoneri.

MILAN – On his 33rd birthday Luca Antoni spoke exclusively to Milan Channel.

Antonini said: “Thanks for the birthday wishes. today when I woke up I shaved gto look like a twenty year old, only I am 33. I was in the youth sector for 11 years and until I was 31 I was the property of AC Milan, roughly 26 years. I spent 16 years with the rossoneri and the others I spent on loan, but Milan is a part of me. I hope Milan sign Ibra because he guarantees you victories, with him Milan would have a real chance of winning the title. Ibra is an example to all the others, for the new arrivals he would be an excellent teammate to start wwinning again. Romagnoli is a good player, very young, he has shown a lot of character and he would be an excellent buy for the club for the future, he does remind me of Nesta. He always plays with his head up and that shows he knows what to do with the ball, which for a defender is a very important quality. It would be a really good but for the next ten years even. Tonight I will celebrate with my family, especially with my daughters who bring me so much joy. I want to take advantage of this occasion to say hello to all the subscribers of Milan Channel, I still am. I will watch Milan this year because I think they have built a very good team, they have an excellent coach who will shape the team. He is a strict man but he is an excellent coach and a good person.”
