Santiago Giménez Wraps Up Preseason Strongly for AC Milan
The talented Mexican attacker concluded AC Milan’s warmup matches on a high note, netting a goal versus Leeds United and then observing the action against Chelsea. With this momentum, Giménez is eager to embark on the upcoming season, teaming up with renowned figures like Luka Modrić and manager Massimiliano Allegri.
High Praise for New Manager Allegri
In a recent chat with Sky, Giménez shared his thoughts on the new boss shortly after beginning sessions on August 4: “He’s the kind of leader who fosters strong team bonds and pushes with relentless energy. Right from my initial day at Milanello, I was convinced this could turn into an outstanding campaign.”
Modrić’s Championship Experience Boosts Milan Hopes
Having departed Real Madrid without a transfer fee, Modrić arrives with a treasure trove of triumphs that AC Milan anticipates will reverse their fortunes following a disappointing eighth spot in Serie A last term. Recent updates show Modrić maintaining impressive form, with stats from his final Madrid season highlighting over 85% pass accuracy, which could be pivotal for Milan’s midfield revival.
“Bringing in someone with his trophy cabinet is bound to inspire everyone. His skill was evident immediately upon arrival. He provides excellent support to forwards like me. Having him here is fantastic, and securing the title has always been an aspiration,” Giménez remarked.
Strategic Squad Overhaul at AC Milan with Giménez and Modrić
AC Milan has streamlined its roster by releasing talents like João Félix, Kyle Walker, and Tammy Abraham, while retaining key prospects including Christian Pulisic, Santiago Giménez, and Yunus Musah. The inclusion of battle-tested experts like Modrić and coach Allegri adds depth and wisdom to the lineup.
Focused Domestic Ambitions Without European Distractions
This year, the Rossoneri are concentrating solely on Serie A and the Coppa Italia, avoiding the demanding schedule that burdens rivals such as Inter, Napoli, and Juventus. The primary objective remains capturing the Scudetto, leveraging this advantage for better recovery and preparation.
Without the burden of continental games, their path is straightforward: pursue the league crown with full intensity.
“Our approach must be gradual, building progress every single day,” noted the ex-Cruz Azul star, emphasizing a methodical strategy akin to constructing a sturdy foundation before scaling heights.
Upcoming Debut in Coppa Italia for Giménez and Milan
The AC Milan team is poised for their formal kickoff in the Coppa Italia’s round of 64 clash with Bari on August 17, marking a key moment for Giménez and the revamped squad under Allegri’s direction.
