An embarrassed and embarrassing Milan, beaten, even humiliated by Spezia, beyond the impeccable 2-0, signed by two boys from the nursery Maggiore and Bastoni, which deservedly rewards the third newly promoted in Serie A. And so tonight, after this one First loss away, the Rossoneri risk losing even first place if Inter overtakes Lazio. Before thinking about the others and the derby next Sunday, Pioli, however, will do well to reflect on this Nightmare night, no game, no shots on goal and above all no excuses. In the first place because Milan returned to play with the best formation, except for Dalot instead of Calabria, who had the good idea of being purposely disqualified so as not to miss the derby, and then because the Rossoneri had been able to train in the last two weeks without commitments during the week after being excluded from the Italian Cup. If there has been a sin of presumption, looking back in the wrong approach, it is serious. If they ran out of gas it would be even more serious, because Milan has no obligation to win the Scudetto, but they do have a duty to advance in the Europa League, starting with the next game on Thursday against Red Star. and above all they cannot perform in the championship, putting at risk the minimum goal of the fourth place to finally return to the Champions League.
SAVE GIGIO – Despite the best training, you can see it on the field. the worst Milan that in the first half does not even make a shot on goal, while Spezia severely commits Donnarumma with a close shot from the former rossonero Saponara. It is not the classic isolated lightning strike because Spezia crushes the Rossoneri in their half of the field, always with a higher rhythm. Uselessly Ibrahimovic reaches out to call out his teammates who never serve him. In the race that disappoints the most, first place goes to the long-awaited Calhanoglu who does not do well. Unfortunately for Pioli, the other returning Bennacer also runs in circles., too scholastic, playing only horizontally, while Dalot and Hernández never put pressure on the side bands where Saelemaekers and Leao are also silent in front of them. And so the 0-0 at the end of the first half is a lying score because Spezia deserves at least one goal. Beyond the great initial stop of Donnarumma, the only one equaled to the best MilanThere are also the demerits of the Italians, very good at building speed but imprecise in the final phase, where the absence of the top scorer of the Nzola team is felt. The Gyasi-Agudelo-Saponara trident, in fact, does everything well up to sixteen meters, but then no one has the final stretch, especially Agudelo who misses the right moment to strike at the beginning and then can no longer finish.
ATALANTA SPECIES – After such a disappointing first half, some changes are expected from Pioli and instead Mandzukic, who could help the too isolated Ibrahimovic, remains on the bench to watch Spezia’s new rounds. Milan, in fact, continues to suffer as if they had the best Atalanta ahead, and it is no coincidence that it sinks when the Italian’s whites mount a spectacular action reminiscent of those of the Nerazzurri of Bergamo. Gyaer flies to the right and serves in the center Agudelo, very good seeing Ricci uncheck Maggiore, ready to put Donnarumma with his first goal in Serie A. Four touches, all first, with Romagnoli and fellow spectators of an incredible, but flawless 0 -1.
WINTER CHANGES – At this point, with serious delay, Pioli decided to trade not one but three men and in one fell swoop sent all three winter signings to the field: Tomori, Meitè and Mandzukic, respectively, instead of Kjaer, Bennacer and Leao. But now it is too late because Spezia flies and Dalot, the substitute for Calabria, commits a warning foul on the edge of the Saponara area from which the penalty for doubling is born. Estévez leans into the center where Bastoni slides the ball 2-0, which also represents his first goal in Serie A. There are more than 20 minutes to go and in theory there would be a lot of time to equalize, but Milan’s reaction is more nervous than lucid. IS The last two changes of Pioli are of little use, which relaunches Castillejo and Hauge instead of Saelemaekers and Calhanoglu. Because never, as in this case, everyone would have to change except Kjaer and the usual great Donnarumma. And if this time wasn’t enough, even he is a very bad sign. Cash congratulations to Spezia and her talented coach: Italian in name and in fact, like Maggiore and Bastoni you will never forget an evening like this.
