Another 3 goals conceded, which makes the tally of goals conceded even more negative: 42 in 35 games, an enormity. It means that on average this year the Milan he started every match one goal down: and so it is difficult to bring home the results.
Yesterday there were also gross individual errors: Tomori causes an absurd penalty after 3 minutes, and then also negatively affects the other 2 Genoa goals. We have often talked about Pioli, now it is necessary to focus on the individuals as well. The Englishman needs to give himself a good ‘wake up’, as do almost all his teammates, also in terms of soul and character. You see Leaoreplaced, he goes straight to the changing rooms, evidently offended by the change: he should examine his conscience and understand that as a higher paid player he is not making a difference, on the contrary.
As for Pioli, the change Thiaw-Chukwueze to defend the lead with ten minutes to go, with 5 defenders, is not something for Milan. Among other things, removing the fittest player, guiltily relegated to the bench in the last few games by the coach. I didn’t like one image: on the occasion of Florenzi’s goal, Pioli doesn’t have the slightest (spontaneous) gesture of celebration, of satisfaction: almost as if he too felt like a victim of who knows what. Only 3 to go: you have to hold on, compared to what, if you support Milan, is agony. Then we will turn the page.
The problem, and this drives me crazy, is that the names circulating on the bench aren’t up to par. The Club today must start again from a certainty with a capital C: there are some and we have already named them. And instead they prefer to go for a foreign technician, therefore with the risks involved in an operation that becomes a gamble. So you really risk affecting next year too, after a very disappointing season. If you hire an exotic coach, who knows little about the Italian championship and Milan, next year, whatever happens, you can build, to pick up who knows when, but if it goes badly you implode further and then yes the disaster, at that point, is complete.
