A questionable decision As Tuttosport writes, the decision to allow the extra holiday is jarring, especially considering the disparity surrounding the club currently. Even when you look at Inter, their World Cup players are all back with the club. Yet, the Rossoneri have allowed a request that has ‘left everyone stunned’. Maignan’s situation is already questionable, after he missed Franco Baresi’s funeral – which would have perhaps allowed him to have some more time on vacation if it was ‘cut short’ to attend – but this is even more baffling. It’s difficult to accept this decision, as the report states, simply because of how late things will be. Ultimately, they are going to return with less than a week to prepare for the first game of the season. Is that enough? We’ll see, but you’d imagine not after an extended holiday not offered to anyone else. The Diavolo are playing with fire with this decision.
