Franco Ordinea well-known journalist, wrote a long and interesting editorial in the columns of ‘The newspaper’focusing in particular on the derby between Milan And Inter and on the tactical errors of Stefano Pioli. Here, then, are his words on the matter.
Order: “Milan only have the last quarter of an hour left”
—
“Dominating for long stretches and winning in the rain. Inter spares none of their last energy to achieve in a single night everything there is to show off in front of their celebrating people. The arithmetic scudetto, the second star to put on the chest in the next season and the sixth derby in a row. He ends his season with the most awaited triumph which documents the great work of Marotta and Ausilio in preparing in complicated conditions, an excellent squad remains for Milan from now, just a fraction, to try to erase the dominance marked by the previous matches. It is no coincidence that it coincides with the arrival of Giroud at center forward, Chukwueze on the right and Bennacer at midfield, with Leao placed on his track on the left. In the center forward version it is a gimmick to be put back in the drawer of impossible solutions. The last photo of the derby is not the most exciting because it is a fight between Theo Hernandez and Dumfries who are grabbing each other by the neck. They both end up with a red light in the locker rooms, followed by Calabria (hand to Frattesi).”
“Pioli’s tactical reshuffle is not enough. Historical defects”
—
“Stefano Pioli’s tactical reshuffle is not enough to erase Milan’s historical defects, in particular from corner kicks. Once they lost Lautaro, this time (third episode in the last derbies) from the corner, pushed by Pavard, Gabbia went loses Acerbi, who can even put the ball in the goal without any difficulty. From defender to defender: this is how Inzaghi’s secret weapon breaks down the derby and heads confidently into the second part of the match, counting on his well-known counterattacks they can slice the Rossoneri to pieces. In fact, Lautaro drools the 2-0, Thuram chips the far post and produces a strange effect treading the usual clods on the left, taking away space for Pulisic, leaving Musah in full swing on the right. Twice Milan shows its claws on Leao’s left foot (launched on the counterattack by Musah) and on Calabria’s two-step touch, Sommer stands out. “.
Order: “Milan, Cardinal takes note and gives the green light to the replacement of Pioli”
—
“Under the Curva Nord already celebrating, at the dawn of the second half Inter settled all the accounts with Thuram, the subverter of the first leg of the derby. Then the Frenchman played Thiaw, here instead he bypassed Tomori and put Maignan late on the first post Pioli’s corrections (three substitutions with Giroud, Chuku and Bennacer) are the confession of a questionable strategy. Only in the final, with appropriate corrections, is he able to change towards the derby which remains, convincingly, in the clutches of Inter. , well-deserved Italian champion at the end of an overwhelming ride marked by many feats and a football of amazing effectiveness and elegance. Gerry Cardinale, in the stands, can only take note of this last melancholy act, the sixth derby lost in row which represents the latest affront for AC Milan fans, yet another disappointment and giving the green light to Pioli’s replacement.” READ ALSO: Milan, Ibrahimovic comes out of the closet.
