Gallery: ‘Saelemaekers surprise’, ‘Allegri and Gasperini’ – Today’s front pages in Italy

AC Milan will be up against Roma tomorrow evening and as highlighted by the papers this morning, it will mainly be a battle between Massimiliano Allegri and Gian Piero Gasperini. 

The Rossoneri are coming off two crucial wins against Como and Lecce, sending a signal to their rivals at the top of the standings. On the other hand, Inter can’t seem to stop winning at the moment and the pressure is on to claim all three points tomorrow.

The good news is the aforementioned form, but the bad news is that Roma and Gasperini are the next opponents. Allegri and his men managed to win the reverse fixture but they struggled for large parts of the game, with the Giallorossi manager winning the tactical battle.

Today’s papers have highlighted the managerial battle, especially since most would consider Allegri and Gasperini to be complete opposites in terms of style and approach.
