On the pitch Milan-Cagliari 0-0 LIVE
Stefano Pioli excludes Theo Hernández, Leão, Calabria, and Tomori from the match against Cagliari. The rumors from the day before are therefore confirmed, the Rossoneri coach opts for drastic choices in the penultimate match played at San Siro. And so Kalulu returns to the right wing after more than two months of absence and Florenzi takes over the left wing. Pioli decides to return to the origins with the 4 3 3, in attack Giroud remains the point of reference supported by Pulisic and Chukwueze. In midfield we see Musah again with Reijnders and Bennacer. It is likely that this choice is linked to the motivations that the Rossoneri coach did not find in the players who were at least initially excluded. Milan haven’t won for more than a month and the objective is to return to success also to calm the environment given that the Rossoneri’s Curva Sud should remain silent again this evening by adopting a cheering strike.
“We demand and deserve a strong and winning club. Milan is not satisfied”: this is the banner displayed by the Curva Sud of Milan as the Rossoneri team enters the pitch at San Siro as they take on Cagliari this evening. The protest of the AC Milan ultras continues and this evening too they are not displaying flags and are on strike with their fans. The Curva Sud had already remained silent last week in the match against Genoa, only to abandon the stands before the end of the match. A strong gesture linked to concern for the future of the club and – according to the ultras – a lack of planning.
Milan and Cagliari on the pitch with their maternal surnames
The maternal surnames on the shirts of the Milan and Cagliari players: this is the initiative of some Serie A clubs for Mother’s Day, including the two teams on the pitch this evening at San Siro. The list distributed in the press gallery also shows the double surnames (paternal and maternal) for all the starting and bench players. And so Giroud becomes Viviane, Luvumbo will have Filomena on his shirt for tonight. The AC Milan speaker’s reading of the lineups also reported both names.
