“Our Lord saw all that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And it was attack and midfield: and it was late at San Siro. In the 62nd the victory was completed. Then our Lord, having completed the work that he had done, saw that it was beautiful and correct and in the 63rd minute he rested from all the works that he had completed. The Lord blessed minute 63 and consecrated it, while thrown into the net by the cherub Akan, after having dribbled the goalkeeper, he decided to turn it off so as not to be enraged in his infinite goodness “ (From the third letter of Zlatan to the Pharisees and dedicated to Raoul Duke and all those who, unlike me, have never had doubts about Our Lord of football Zlatan)
“If I was 20 (eons) I would win four, but I am 38 (always eons) and I only made two …” Then King Zlatan between the serious and the funny, after the game, because the years also pass for Our Lord but only because he himself has decided to blend in with us humans and not by chance. If he had not done it from the Turin headquarters of the league and the FIGC, a humpback crusade would immediately begin and the regulation would prohibit, with a change issued in record time, that the divine goes out on the field against the human. All this, of course, to safeguard the faith and good of Italian football …
No kidding; I was very scared of the game against the tagliatelle who, on paper, seemed to be much thicker than the sparring partners of the summer friendlies and the Guinness shamrocks of the Rovers shamrocks. Micione tries and in the first minutes the Bolognese push us hard but the Rossoneri don’t break down and they always give the impression of having everything under control. From the 5th it’s just Milan. We put Bologna there, we crushed the game, we created opportunities, we exchanged at great speed, with Ibra (it goes without saying) who is the conductor of the orchestra that turns the whole team around. It is not just what he does with the ball but he directs, praises (occasionally), does silly things when chance (that is, quite often), motivates and drives. The music does not change, we have the game at hand and the three points never seem questioned. Beyond the goals and opportunities, it is impressive the sense of authority that the boys show, the awareness of being stronger and that the result cannot escape. Without going into the analysis of the individuals, the whole team runs like clockwork handling the ball as it pleases in all areas of the field, reaching all the dead balls first, recovering it in record time and almost never leaving the initiative. to opponents. Only after the changes, too many and all together that upset the set-up and with Ibra deciding to take a little breath, the rossoblu create some headaches but in the only real shot on goal Donnarumma thinks so (he only needs one, when necessary), difficult and spectacular, to show that he is the champion that he is …) to extinguish any ambition.
On Monday night I saw a preponderant team in the game, technically and physically. Here the questions begin and, as always, the answers for you. The first one that I ask you is the following: Is the disproportion seen in the field the result of a different preparation? Have our technicians stepped on the accelerator to be prepared for this intense start to the season to ensure, as far as possible, the transition to El without too many worries? Will we pay for the early condition later in the season?
Instead, the second thing that comes to mind is whether Milan has really grown mentally enough to make an obvious quality leap even without further weight gains (Tonali is too early to consider) or if it is really so limited as to that Bologna has done it. look even better than it is?
Continuous. Milan on Monday looked the same as the post blocking. Maybe even better, conscious and confident about your business. At the moment, with the exception of the 1000 places by invitation, the game does not have an audience yet. When, hopefully soon, we return to normal, with the public roaring at the first wrong ball or if the game takes a bad turn, will we continue to be these or will we start to suffer again? What we saw in the final of the championship is the true level of this team that many factors such as the Ibra effect, Pioli, a different module, the company, the unity of intentions, compactness etc., have finally managed to stand out or is the result of moment?
So as not to leave questions unanswered. When we play with higher-level teams, for example the opponents of the Champions League squares, can we maintain this attitude? Obviously they will be more difficult games and the results are not obvious, but will we go out on the field with the same security and without too many referential fears? Will we play it on an equal footing with all of them and then how does it go?
I realize that I entrust you with an arduous task but the curiosity to feel the feeling of such a qualified part of the Rossoneri followers as you are Milannight users is a temptation that I cannot resist.
It remains that in the League, always on paper, we have overcome the most difficult obstacle of the first three and the possibility of starting with a 9 out of 9 seems within reach unless the newly promoted Spezia and / or Crotone prove to be stronger than the Bologna. by Sinisa. But, in any case, we will be able to manage our forces taking into account EL’s commitments and the championship, take home the filottino and qualifying to arrive at the stop with a full stomach and high morale and then face the derby with the same serenity shown. until now? Assuming and not allowing it to happen, will a boot in the shields be enough to convince the company that with a little effort in the market we could finally turn around or will it have the opposite effect by giving the impression that we are already enough? strong to reach the goal?
But, finally, I leave you with the one that concerns me the most. Although Ibra’s nature is evidently divine, can he, given the eons that have inexorably passed for him as well, maintain this form throughout the season and without injury? And, God forbid, if we miss the Lord of Soccer for some time, can the rest of the team do without him and keep up a CL qualifying performance?
Many questions…
GO MILAN
