Gerry Cardinale has provided some refreshing comments on Milan\u2019s pre-season plans for the future, confirming that money will no longer dictate where they go.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over the last ten years or so, it has become far more common for big clubs to travel across the world for their pre-season campaigns. For example, Milan have been in Australia for two consecutive pre-seasons now, taking on Perth Glory and most recently Inter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s great to connect with local fan bases, the travel is demanding for the players. This summer, Milan played games in Glasgow (Scotland), Perth (Australia), Jakarta (Indonesia), and Wroclaw (Poland). resulting in a lot of travel.<\/p>\n

Cardinale changes course<\/p>\n

Speaking about the pre-season in his long interview with Gazzetta dello Sport<\/a>, Cardinale said that the upcoming pre-season planning will be decided by Ruben Amorim. Money will no longer dictate where they go. Instead, the best plan for preparing the players will be chosen.<\/p>\n

In an effort to generate new revenue, are you also considering a tour for AC Milan next summer? Will that still be Australia or the United States?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have already discussed it with Amorim, and I will just tell you that if we play friendlies abroad, they will be in the United States next summer. If we do\u2026 We haven\u2019t decided yet, and the decision will be up to Ruben.<\/p>\n

\"gerry<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will depend on what\u2019s best for the team: playing friendlies abroad must add value to the group, not bring in a couple of million for the club. Those extra two million will no longer be our goal, as they were under the previous management. That won\u2019t happen again under this ownership.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything we organise in terms of friendlies will be carefully considered with our coach. Every move. And we won\u2019t participate in tours organised by others. We put our players first. We want to help them prepare well to win. That\u2019s our goal, and we aim to achieve it as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gerry Cardinale has provided some refreshing comments on Milan\u2019s pre-season plans for the future, confirming that money will…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":917214,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-917213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=917213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/917214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=917213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=917213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=917213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
