Demerit also of the most important pawns on Stefano’s chessboard Pegswho did not perform at their best, on the contrary: they did not enter the game and were subjected to the pressing implemented by Daniele’s team de Rossi.

Pioli necessarily has to rely on Rafa Leao. Some time ago, in a press conference, the Rossoneri coach said that the team could not always rely on his acceleration on the wing; it is clear, however, that his contribution to the collective is decisive and in recent weeks there has been timely confirmation.
