Tomorrow the other match. Juventus says goodbye to captain Danilo. While Milan has doubts about Leao

The other day tomorrow semifinal of this Super Cup between Juventus e Milan. Speaking of the Super Cup, one of Milan's last successes comes to mind – Vincenzo Montella was on the bench – with a final that ended on penalties and with a very young Gigio Donnarumma in goal.

Other times, other stories. Tomorrow, precisely, this semifinal with its load of doubts and perplexities. The Brazilian Danilo, 33 years old, has not even been called up. And he should not even complete, at this point, his sixth season in the black and white jersey. Danilo, moreover, is the last outfield player in Thiago Motta's squad (the others are goalkeepers Perin and Pinsoglio) to have won the championship with Juventus. It is one of the many farewells, with a pinch of controversy, that have taken place in recent years. The last in order of time was Federico Chiesta, considered by the management to be "out of the project".

Similar treatment had been reserved for Paulo Dybala – "The contract has not been renewed, the decision has been made", said the then CEO Maurizio Arrivabene – and before that also for Alex Del Piero.

And Milan? A good test right away for Sergio Conceicao, who just replaced the sacked Paulo Fonseca.

"We apologize. We understand the fans, we are the first to not be happy," he says Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Christian Pulisic, who was injured against Atalanta, is recovering, while Rafa Leao is still in doubt – personalized work for now.

We will also talk about market. Tomori, who with Fonseca had ended up on the margins, was liked and is liked by Juventus, but it is clear that with the new coach (also Portuguese) the situation could change. Milan did not dislike Danilo at all.

Club that is also thinking about Jorge Mendes' pieces: the attacking midfielder Reyna (22 years old, Borussia Dortmund), the tall winger Trincao (27 years old, Sporting), the midfielder Braganca (25 years old, Sporting). In addition, in common with Juve, the central defender Antonio Silva (21 years old, Benfica) and the dream Zirkzee. Time will tell: there is time, on the market. Not on the pitch: there is a trophy up for grabs right away, to try to get out of the storm.
