Milan, Pioli’s fate is sealed and does not depend on Roma or the derby. But he is not the cause of the gap with Inter | Primapagina

The fans talk about nothing else: the derby on Monday. Let’s leave them free to cheer and also to make mistakes on the wave of passion. But the verdict on Pioli should not be entrusted to the social media court, to the penultimate with Roma and to the last resort with Inter. And not even the judgment on this Milan.

Also taking advantage of the draw with Sassuolo, it must be reiterated that the defense doesn’t work like this, in fact it has never worked. And the weak point was and remains the area inhabited by Florenzi and Calabria, plus the central defender on duty. The midfield is too light if there is no Loftus-Cheek between the two midfielders. What needs to be dismantled is the somewhat lazy custom that the attack depends, for better or worse, on the “moody” Rafa. Agreed, the Portuguese makes the difference, especially if paired with Theo. But this Milan has a right wing Leao in Chukwueze and has not yet fully exploited him. Instead an equally champion 9 is really missing, as was missing when Ibra arrived in 2020. Who in fact transformed Milan, Pioli’s own Milan…

The change on the bench – according to rumors – will take place anyway. Regardless of the Europa League and the Scudetto celebration. For the Milanese environment, this is right. But don’t get confused: Pioli won’t be the solution to the gap with Inter, but he certainly wasn’t the cause of it.
