Milan will pay tribute to the late Franco Baresi next Wednesday, when they meet Inter in Perth, with the squad preparing a choreography for the occasion.
Baresi's death has hit the club and its supporters hard, and the fixture that follows carries its own weight: the Derby della Madonnina, the game most tied to his name as the defender who defined a Milan era.
The tribute in Australia is shaped by the pre-season calendar. The squad will not be able to attend the funeral, scheduled for Tuesday, because they are on the other side of the world, so the players will honour Baresi the following day in Perth instead.
Gerry Cardinale will be present at the funeral, potentially alongside two players, while the rest of the group remains in Australia for the tour.
Supporters have not waited for the club to lead the mourning. A memorial has already taken shape outside Casa Milan, a sign of how much Baresi meant to the people who follow the club.
With the squad thousands of miles from home and the derby the first game after the funeral, the choreography in Perth becomes the club's moment to say goodbye.
