the Milan di Stefano Pioli beat Paulo Fonseca’s team with merit in Rome thanks to Kessie’s penalty goal and Ante Rebic’s goal that made Veretout’s equalizer in vain. The Rossoneri team moved well, especially in the first 20 minutes of play, putting the Giallorossi on the ropes who did not have the proper approach to the game. This victory re-launches Diablo’s championship ambitions with Inter leader Antonio Conte now just four points away and fifth, meaning the certainty of going to the Champions League, nine points away. The only downside of the evening was the three injuries that happened to Hakan Calhanoglu first, then to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ante Rebic 20 minutes from the end of the match.
Bad news
Ibrahimovic will fly to San remo from Tuesday, when the long-awaited Festival begins, of which he will be a regular guest except on Wednesday night, March 3, when Milan will face Udinese in the mid-week round of the championship. The Swede, however, runs the risk of having to skip the match against the Friulian bianconeri due to a slight injury to his adductors. The former striker of PSG, Barcelona, Inter and Juventus already in the first half at 16 ‘had begun to massage the adductor area and in the second half in minute 56 he was forced to leave due to this slight injury that worries Stefano Pioli and Rossoneri fans.
Milan coach at the end of the gameOlympic He spoke of the injuries suffered by the three players, without being overly concerned: “All three have had muscle problems. At the moment they seem more fatigued, we will evaluate tomorrow. The period is a challenge but I have many players, I hope to have as many players as possible for the next games. Hopefully it is not serious.”.
The numbers are falling
Ibrahimovic’s seasonal numbers are impressive compared to the number of games played, age and minutes of goals played. In fact, the Swede scores a goal every 79 ‘in the championship and has scored 14 times in 14 games played in A league. Seven games between the Italian Cup, Europa League and qualification to the EL main draw with two goals to his credit for a total of 16 centers in 21 games played.
In the last eight days, however, Ibrahimovic’s performances have been drastically reduced and especially in the last three days against Spezia, Inter and Roma in the center forward of the Milan the killer instinct was lacking. Against the Ligurians he never made an impact, against the Nerazzurri he had two chances in the space of 30 “beating Handanovic, while against Roma he had the greedy chance to score on empty goal after an error by Pau López but became the protagonist. Of de a clumsy heel strike that sent the ball deep, a serious mistake that was not his and that could jeopardize the game of Milan, who later won the match despite their early departure from the field.
Out of tune note
To stay on the subject with San Remo, however, it was not just Ibrahimovic’s injury that was the jarring note of the Milan evening as even the 39-year-old Swede’s solo disappointed expectations. There Rome It was one of the hardest-hitting teams in Ibra’s career but on the night of the Olympics, the former United saw more mistakes, one especially inexcusable for a player of his qualities, and due to a psychophysical condition that is not optimal. For all these reasons, Ibrahimovic is the man less of this championship day.
The Zlatan of 2021 has little impact on the court, much more on social media and newspapers with some sudden statements against teammates or other sports figures like LeBron James who recently did not send them. Four goals scored in the league, two against third-placed Cagliari and two against bottom crotone, plus the irrelevant goal in the Coppa Italia against Inter with the bad fight with Romelu Lukaku on the scoreboard. Ibrahimovic in the last games seemed a bit tired and with his head in the clouds: without a doubt the “distraction” of San Remo comes at a delicate moment for the Milan season that is dispensing with its charismatic leader who deserves the palm man in less than a week.
