The tachycardic step of the round against Rio Ave that allowed Milan to enter the group stage of the Europa League, where they will meet Celtic, Sparta Prague and Lille, highlighted some very important and obvious aspects of the Milan squad. The two young horses that it was decided to focus on, for now, are not yet ready to take up the legacy of the more trained companions. Pretending that Daniel Maldini or Lorenzo Colombo could be the alter-egos of Ante Rebic and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is an almost presumptuous act. Both guys are talented, Colombo seems more prepared than the second offspring of the Maldini family, but if you want to aim for fourth place, you definitely need more. Nothing sensationally expensive, but you need valid alternatives in roles that risk being discovered. Ibrahimovic is not eternal, nor is he immune to covid, and Rebic will have to confirm last year’s performances, but behind them there is a kind of technical void and presence that cannot go unnoticed.
OK THE EMERGENCY, BUT … – The defensive thesis of those who claim that “this is fine in front of him” after Hauge’s arrival, is that if Ibra had not been infected and Rebic had not been stepped on by the sports judge, Pioli could have had a different first election to those with which he had to prepare the challenge with the Rio Ave. Everything is true, it is well, but it is not an alibi that the castle can sustain. Because there are two things: either Colombo detonates, in a positive sense, loudly with Leao’s return to high levels, or the risk of finding himself in yesterday’s situation is just around the corner. Let’s not hide behind a finger: everyone thinks that the Milan squad, even after this transfer market, is still incomplete. Unless, in the next few hours, something changes. The battery of offensive midfielders is oversold and the idea of moving one between Rebic and Leao behind Ibra as his substitute has been on his feet since after the block, but it is myopic that another first forward is needed in addition to the central defender who instead, can that does not even arrive, after weeks, to beat the nougat with names and options.
EYES FOR REPENTANCE – Milan are unbeaten in 18 consecutive games between the League, the Italian Cup and the Europa League, but the risks that the coming months, with a very tight schedule, will pose in the route of AC Milan must be well calculated. Because waiting to remedy in January, pending other occasions, could already be a delayed act. And to increase the wailing it takes very little.
