Milan returns to Earth and takes a pleasant bath of humility. Stefano Pioli’s team lost 3-0 at home to Lille: a French-dominated match, impressive in quality and personality. Absolute protagonist of the party Yusuf Yazici, author of a hat-trick. Nothing irreparable in terms of qualification, but the defeat should make us think: the Rossoneri did everything possible to make the night really bad. The positive streak ends after 23 useful results: the Devil had never lost after the lockdown in March.
MILAN-LILLE 0-3 (21 ‘rig, 55’ e 58 ‘Yazici)
MILAN
The one 5 – Except for David, he can’t do anything with Yazici’s perfect penalty a few seconds later. In the second part he makes the decisive mistake about the Turkish’s not irresistible conclusion. Milan closed at that time.
Dalot 5 – In the first half it is almost a disaster. Fighting to keep Bamba, he throws David toe to toe with Donnarumma, gauging a bad back pass. Better in the second part: he pushes a lot, although he does not cross.
Kjaer 6 – Always ahead, even against fast and elusive attackers but physically strong at the same time. The only fault in the third goal, when he loses David’s mark.
Romagnoli 5.5 – After Udinese he is the protagonist of another controversial episode: a very light push on Yazici, which falls and leads the referee to award the penalty. Unfortunate and a bit too naive.
Hernandez 5.5 – Skip the latest releases. In the first half he tries to play the charge and is the only one who tries the game, but he goes out in the second fraction.
Kessie 5 – In the center of the field he tries to hold his own against Sanches and Xeka, two very hard bones that tend to dominate. In the second half he collapses, makes a lot of mistakes and loses a lot of balls.
Tonal 5.5 – He starts well, with personality, but after the disadvantage he does not find useful plays. (From 61 ‘ Bennacer 6 – Log in with the result already committed and try to give order to avoid shipment).
Castillejo 5 – On a physical level, the confrontation with the opponents is ruthless. He always bumps into Bradaric, he never succeeds in creating danger. (From 46 ‘ Calhanoglu 5.5 – The Lille’s center hinge does a luxurious job, preventing the Turk from changing the game.)
Brahim Diaz 5.5 – In the first part he is in trouble, like all Milan. Lille defends itself with order and closes all the spaces. Pioli tries to change partners but the Spaniard does not revive. (From 78 ‘ Hauge sv).
Krunic 5 – This time, Pioli’s move doesn’t bear fruit: on the left he looks like a fish out of water, he can’t give quality to the maneuver and he struggles to keep up with the fast rivals. (From 46 ‘ Leao 5 – He really wants to do well against his former team, he can’t get Milan to change gears).
Ibrahimovic 5.5 – A central bomb in a free kick is all that Milan can produce in the offensive phase of the first half. Then nothing else, until the change with the score acquired. (From 62 ‘ Rebic 6 – He is the only one trying to strike. Fighting the host’s defense, Maignan forces the only difficult save of the match).
Coach: Stefano Pioli 5 – The usual “European” turnover changed the entire barter. This time, however, the results are poor: Lille concedes little, controls with ease and attacks with the slightest indecision from the defense. Galtier blocks game sources and prevents offensive midfielders from making a difference, the Rossoneri coach does not find alternative solutions. Deserved defeat and that should make us think.
LITTLE
Final result: Milan-Lille 0-3. Scorers: 22 ‘pt (rig.), 55’ and 58 ‘Yazici
Maignan 6 – It is not always beautiful to look at, but certainly effective. Milan hardly kicks at goal and when the Lille goalkeeper does, he doesn’t seem innocent; Despite this, he closes his game without even picking up the ball in the bag.
Celik 6.5 – He is not lacking in determination and temperament, but he may be a bit too submissive in the offensive phase, worrying above all about defending while remaining too short.
Source 7 – He has the task of facing Ibrahimovic, the worst that can happen to him right now. He puts effort and skill into it and the result rewards him so much that the Swede becomes dangerous on punishment alone.
Botman 7 – Like his roommate, he builds a defensive wall that Milan, although on one of the worst afternoons, fails to unhinge. Lille almost never risks behind and the credit is also his.
Bradaric 6.5 – It is positioned on the left wing and begins to move back and forth without stopping. A rush game with a couple of good offensive starts that create numerical superiority on your side.
Renato Sanches 7.5 – Prepare, fight, run, defend and offer sumptuous plays: his versatile game, the Portuguese seems to have returned, at least for one night, the one who bewitched the world when he was barely old. From 80 ‘ Submarine sv
Xeka 7 – Courage and technique in the middle of the field, nobody passes. He fights with every ball, sometimes even too aggressively, so much so that he receives the yellow shortly after half of the first half; the measure slows him down a bit so he leaves the field in the middle of the second half. From 65 ‘ Andrè 6 – He logs in to avoid his partner’s second yellow, stands in the middle to put order and slow down the pace of the game by managing the ball.
Yazici 8.5 – He succeeds in everything, the Turk is in the afternoon of grace. He wins the penalty that he transforms, then with his left he draws two paroboles on which Donnarumma does not respond adequately. His is a capital performance. From 80 ‘ Yilmaz sv
Icon 7 – The trio behind the striker are on their thank you night and he is no exception: his speed is a constant thorn in the side of the Milan defense that almost never manages to catch him. From 65 ‘ Lihadji 6 – He comes in when the game is practically over, but he shines with a couple of plays that get applause.
Bamba 7 – His speed puts the entire rear of AC Milan in difficulties, whoever crosses his path is systematically jumped. He spiced up his performance with the assistance of Yazici for the third goal that closes the game. From 85 ‘ Mandava sv
David 6.5 – On a night when the entire attacking department shines, he is the one who does it in a minor way: he moves a lot to create spaces, he usually appears to give support and get the opposing defenders out of the area. A dark job for which your colleagues should thank you
Coach: Christophe Galtier 7 – Magical evening for his Lille, sublimely placed on the pitch by his coach. A practically perfect machine: physical strength, speed, quality. The French did not grant anything to the Rossoneri and took advantage of all the indecisions of the local defense. Deserved success and primacy in the group.
