Time for assessments and trials for Milan, after the sad elimination from the Europa League at the hands of Roma. In the dock Stefano Pioli, whose adventure seems to have come to an end. We talked about it with the historic designer Luca Calamai, exclusively for MilanNews.it
Did you expect Milan to be so negative in the double match against Roma?
“No, I didn’t expect it. But not just for Pioli, but for the whole of Milan. Take player by player, is there really that much difference between the players on the pitch for Milan and those for Roma? It’s as if the lights suddenly went out for this Milan. They weren’t able to put even 70% of their value on the pitch. They took away their idea of playing, their initiative. Roma were brazen and strong Ibrahimovic, who exalted himself in similar matches. The players of this Milan were passive also in their attitude. Even in the first leg, without the issue of the away goal which is worth double, you have to play it in a different, more courageous, brazen way: it ends 1-. 1? Is that okay?”
