The Winter Olympics is dominating the Italian media at the moment, but AC Milan are hoping to keep pace in a race of their own tonight.
There are a couple of oddities about how Milan enter the game against Pisa. Firstly, it will be their sixth away game in the last nine in Serie A, because of a scheduling quirk. Secondly, due to the postponement of the Como game, it is 10 days since the Rossoneri last played.
Today’s front pages
Nonetheless, there can be no excuses and three points is a must against a side that have won once all season, especially given that Inter play Juventus and Napoli host Roma this weekend. Below is how the front pages look in Italy this morning.
It must be noted that the papers are rightly dominated by the exploits of Federica Brignone, the Italian alpine ski racer who won a gold medal at the Winter Olympics on Friday. What makes it even better is that she is a Milanista, so it will hopefully bring good luck.
La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Milan on the attack with Nkunku, trying to scare Chivu. The early match of the round against Pisa is at 20:45 CET: mission -5.”
Inside paper: “Allegri votes for Nkunku. The Frenchman leads the way, Milan are pushing to beat Pisa and scare Chivu. Tomori will be the first to sign. The club are also calling Modric. Leao, future in red and black.”
QS: “Milan in Pisa with Pulisic back. Allegri will have Leao on the bench.”
