Milan and Robinho-dependence
A heavy absence, which is about to end. Allegri is smiling again, because after Ibrahimovic now Robinho is also recovering from his groin problem and if the schedule is confirmed, the Brazilian will be back to work by Monday and could find a place next Saturday in the match against Palermo. A major recovery, which could represent a turning point in the season.
When he arrived 13 months ago from Manchester City, after initial skepticism, Robinho has scored 14 goals in 34 league games. The Brazilian made the difference last season and there are the numbers to prove it, with him on the pitch from the start, between the league and cups, Milan have won 77 points in 36 games, without him only 33 in 22 games.
With Robinho in the field AC Milan gain speed, flair and unpredictability, qualities not seen in this first month, in which the team was far too static and not very lively. Allegri needs a player who knows how to attack the spaces and create numerical superiority. Just like Robinho.
