Milan disaster: “Disturbing and embarrassing”

The journalist’s statements do not leave many doubts regarding what was seen yesterday during Sassuolo-Milan. Really heavy words

Harsh words from the journalist, who did not mince words to describe the performance of the Milan against the Sassuolo.

In the sights of Franco Ordine, who writes about The newspaper, the Devil’s attitude in the defensive phase is clearly over. The first ten minutes were truly a nightmare: “The Milan he definitively lays down his weapons in the championship at the height of a disturbing test of his deployment, especially the defensive one. Conceding 3 goals to Sassuolo, fighting for relegation, this is already an absolute demerit title. Very few are saved, starting with Leao, protagonist of the most effective replies, and ending with Jovic And Okafor, authors of the comeback on 3 to 3″

Defense in the sights

The attack works, but the responses of the reserves in the other roles are not at all convincing. The finger is clearly pointed at the defensive department:

“In both fractions, the start was disastrous, demonstrating a questionable tension and attention, as well as the state of form of some exponents, such as Kjaer, Thiaw And Florenzi who become the weak links of the team. It’s true that Pioli had no alternatives: he should have rested some of them, who then came on in the second half, and spared Tomori, who had been booked for a booking, but the response from the little-used players was disarming. Milan’s debut was simply embarrassing, torrid summer weather, very large shirts in defense and heads in the clouds.”

The three defenders mentioned, protagonists of the disaster against Sassuolo, they won’t be in the game against the Rome. Stefano Pioli, in fact, he is ready to relaunch Davide Calabria on the right, with Fikayo Tomori And Matteo Gabbia in the center. It will clearly be there on the left Theo Hernandez. In midfield, however, here Tiijani Reijnders And Ismaël Bennacer, ready to lend support to the backward department.

In these hours there is a lot of talk about the possibility of seeing Chukwueze from the first minute, but Pioli could opt for a more conservative choice, leaving Loftus-Cheek on the attacking midfield, therefore leaving Christian Pulisic on the right. The next training sessions will certainly tell us more about how Pioli intends to line up his team. The match against Roma could be longer than expected and the changes, therefore, decisive.
