“We expected a surprise tactical move from Pioli and a rocket start from Milan, but neither one nor the other happened. Instead, at the Olimpico it was Roma who started in fourth place, replicating the strategy of the first leg which included El Shaarawy on the wing of Theo and Leao. Milan does not take any countermeasures for the usual sin of arrogance and De Rossi has an incredibly easy life.analyzes Libero.
“Roma reorganizes itself without the pair of attackers (Lukaku gets hurt, Dybala is sacrificed) while Milan have an hour of play available in numerical superiority but, instead of taking all this time, they become hasty. Pioli empties the midfield and he piles forwards on forwards, accentuating the inability to build clean actions and facilitating Roma who defend with order, concentration and will in their penalty area. With the 3-1 on aggregate, Roma earn the challenge against the German champions Bayer Leverkusen in the semi-final, while Milan return home to play a hellish derby with their heads down and with Pioli on trial, as well as under pressure.”adds the newspaper.
