After the exciting success of Naples, a strong and clear message for the championship, AC Milan without Ibra dives back into Europe. Complicated game, Thursday night at Little, undoubtedly the most difficult of the group, key joint: if the French championship had not been blocked in April due to Covid, today the Northern Mastiffs they would play in the Champions League and not in the Europa League. The value is that. We saw it in the first leg, at San Siro: it was true that on that occasion the worst Milan in a year had appeared, with a totally wrong approach to the match, but it is undeniable that the Frenchman impressed with quality and technique. Thanks to that success, I am now at the top of the group: that’s why we need a great Milan tonight.

Without Ibra, obviously everything is more complicated. “It’s nothing serious, I’ll be back in a week or two,” the champion told the Swedish newspaper. Sportbladet. A way of trying to reassure not only his teammates but also world Milan, obviously anxious about his state. Actually, as leaked Monday by the same club, the times will be a little longer, we are close to three weeks. But with Ibrahimovic it is better to avoid the draw: he has already accustomed us to burning times. Already on Tuesday he trained in Milanello for five hours: he has already started his umpteenth race against time. With Pioli still at home due to a virus, it will be the turn of one again on the bench Daniele Bonera. “We do not make calculations, we want to win,” said the former full-back, now staff assistant, clearly yesterday. Tonight, at the splendid Mauroy Stadium, a 2012 gem with a sliding roof, will rely on the deputy Ibra, namely Ante Rebic. He is not at his best, the Croatian. Crotone’s bad elbow injury kept him out for more than a month, it is normal that it is taking a while to regain that exceptional form that had allowed him to become Milan’s top scorer in the 2019/20 season, with 12 goals .

Instead, tense weather in Naples, after the beating on Sunday. The case of back wages fueled controversy. Thursday afternoon at the San Paolo, where the lights remained on during the night to pay tribute to Maradona, the modest Rijeka. Gattuso growls: “No alibi, we are privileged.” Roma, first of the group, play in Cluj: the away game is not impossible.
