Juventus-Milan is a bit like his match. Gianluca Zambrotta he experienced it with both shirts, winning both in Turin and Milan: “The derby of the disappointed ones? Maybe yes, but it also depends on the expectations you had at the beginning of the year – underlines Zambrotta himself to La Gazzetta dello Sport -. Allegri, for example, often repeats that the objective has always been a return to the Champions League. But in the common imagination, Juve must always play to win. Milan, on the other hand, has taken two psychological blows recently: the elimination from the Europa League with Roma and the lost derby, with Inter celebrating the Scudetto, hurt. Thus Juve comes to the challenge better, after having reached the Italian Cup final.”
At Milan, however, Pioli’s run really seems to be coming to an end.
“And I’m sorry. I think Pioli is being treated unfairly. In recent times he has perhaps exaggerated with his experiments, like the one with Calabria who enters the field almost as a midfielder, but his work at Milan has been much more than positive. Then it’s always the coach who pays if you don’t win, even when the mistakes were made by others. For example, it was a mistake to send Maldini and Massara away, can you say?”.
