Rossoneri: In media res

For full disclosure, beginning this blog in the middle of the season is both difficult and undesirable. Not only has half of the season gone by, but so much has taken place on and off the pitch that it seems impossible to recap it all without droning on into obscurity. Here's my condensed and imperfect recap:

-Milan sings Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Robinho during the summer transfer period, upgrading Milan's attack to world class

-New manager Allegri takes charge, installs a 4-3-1-2

-Poor start to the season mounts serious pressure on Allegri

-Speculation surrounding Ronaldhino's status increases in the Italian media

-Multiple scandals about team owner and Italian PM Berlusconi break

-Milan begins to pick up steam and climb the table

-Ibra scores the only goal in the Milan derby against Inter, his former team

-Champions league play begins, with Milan eventually qualifying for the next round

-4-4 draw against Udinese marks the most exciting game of the season

-Antonio Cassano arrives via the January transfer window, and Ronaldhino returns to Brazil

The next post will deal with current events going on at Milan, with no more summarizing.

Forza Milan!
