TRAINING: EL SHAARAWY JOINS SQUAD

 

Here is the training schedule for the week that leads up to Sunday’s lunch-time kick-off away at Sassuolo

MILANELLO – The rossoneri started their training session on the central pitch at Milanello with a technical and athletic warm-up with passes and exercises over obstacles and cones.

The rest of the training session consisted of a 10 versus 10 match with El Shaarawy as the extra man and then a 10 against 10 match on half a pitch (horizontal) with three small goals. Finally a 11 vs 11 over a normal half pitch with goalkeepers.

El Shaarawy carried out the entire training session with the rest of the squad except for the final match, 11 vs 11. Rami did warm up with the squad but then worked alone for the rest of the session on athletic exercises on the edge of the lower pitch. Alex and Antonelli remained in the gym.

Tomorrow the players will train after 3pm.

SASSUOLO-MILAN: ACERBI BOOK PRESENTATION

MILAN – The Sassuolo defender Francesco Acerbi presented his book ‘Tutto Bene’ (Everything’s Ok) yesterday in Milan, which talks about how he defeated cancer on two occasions. Sassuolo are the rossoneri’s next opponents in the league. Acerbi said: “The illnesss changed my life. Now I pay a lot more attention to not just m,y life style but also to the smaller things. At the start I felt defeated, I was no longer setting myself any objectives or goals and I didn’t want to fight but then with time I started to fight first against the cancer then also to win back my place on the football field. I would go back to Milan because I had reached a goal but then I sat back and I didn’t play my best hand.”
