A draw caught in full recovery, with a double by Theo Hernández, but the 2-2 is very close to Milan. Parma scored two goals (and got a point) with three actions, the Rossoneri were not enough to win 27 conclusions and 4 woods between posts and crossbars. It would have been the worst day to lose the first game of this season. Their rivals, excluding Lazio, have all won and in any case the equal of the leaders has approached them equally. Now Milan, always in command, if everyone is closer, Inter at -3, Napoli and Juve at -4, Sassuolo at -5 and Rome at -6. Many will say that the absence of Ibrahimovic, and it is true, but it happened for the first time, in the other occasions in which Ibra failed, Milan had won 8 times and tied the other two. In reality, Milan lacked all the strikers lined up by Pioli, Castillejo and Brahim Díaz in the first half and even less Hauge and Leao in the second half.. As to Rebic, on the court for 90 minutes, did only one right thing that led to Hernandez’s second goal.
LOCAL BAD – Milan entered the field with pressure from those who feel threatened. The three points scored by their competitors were the premise of a difficult match. And he became even less after just three minutes, when he got hurt Cage and Pioli, who was already fighting with the centrals due to Kjaer’s injury, made his twenty-year-old French debut in Serie A Kalulu. But all this was not enough because in the first attack Parma scored with Hernani although much of the credit goes to Gervinho, who took Kalulu for a while (but otherwise the boy did well) and then put in assist for Hernani, who arrived with the lights off and too free inside the Rossoneri area. Kessie was crushed on the defensive line and didn’t have time to close. From that moment (it was 13 ‘of the first half), Milan began to attack, although it was Parma who approached 2-0 shortly after with another good move by Gervinho (this time on Romagnoli) in favor of Karamoh, whose header from the edge of the small area went out for a couple of meters.
TOE TOE OFF SIDE – Pioli’s team attacked from the outside with the impetuosity of Hernández and the aggressiveness of Calabria, favored in the insertions by the non-existent defensive work of Gervinho, while on the other side more Karamoh was applied, although against the French side it was in continuous suffering. Only a foray by Hernández (who anticipated Iacoponi) would have led to a draw (center from the French, touch by Brahim Díaz, goal by Castillejo) if Banti al Var had not realized that Castillejo had the toe offside. Parma retired to their own environment and Milan, although with some difficulties, invaded it.
PALI AND TRAVERSE – The difficulties were related to how little Castillejo (goal disallowed aside) and Rebic were doing, well marked by Osorio and Bruno Alves: the Croatian, still a center forward due to the absence of Ibrahimovic, was almost never in tune with Calhanoglu and Brahim Diaz. And Brahim Díaz himself failed to score until the incredible moment of the two crosses in two seconds. The first was hit by him with a volley, the ball, returned to the area, was shot again by Calhanoglu always on the crossbar. Two shots in a row, two sleepers: it looked like a false… Then the Turk moved to the pole (outside), centered with a free kick from afar.
WOOD LOG FOR CALHANOGLU – At the beginning of the second half, Pioli changed the attack. He wasn’t happy (he couldn’t be) with Brahim Díaz and Castillejo (not really Rebic had been excited, on the contrary) and put Leao on the right and Hauge on the left, moving Calhanoglu to the center. Milan overcame all the defensive lines of Parma and turned their attack into a siege. Kessie came close to equalizing and even more so Calhanoglu who hit the third post (crossbar) of his match, equaling an old record that belonged to Immobile, Salah and Di Napoli. On the other side of Milan, between bars and posts, they have reached 4 in this game and 11 in the League, like Verona.
PARMA COUNTERPIECE – But the posts and crossbars don’t score, the goals do. And Parma also scored the goals, working like an Italian, defense and a nice counterattack. First action of the second half, in the space left free by Milan: Iacoponi’s launch from the right, Hernani’s sprint and cross from behind, a header from Kurtic that came from behind, free as Hernani had been in his first goal, ball in the post and in the net. Calabria, who was doing their best in attack, should have countered it more effectively.
THE DOUBLE OF HERNANDEZ – AC Milan’s reaction to a disadvantage that they considered unfair was anger and Hernández, on the corner of Calhanoglu, burned Hernani head on. Half an hour to go, the Rossoneri accelerated even more. It was a bad game and it took a lot of strength to straighten it out. In Milan, however, Rebic’s contribution remained lacking, but even Leao and Hauge were not incisive as Pioli expected. After all, maybe Castillejo and Brahim Díaz are better than their substitutes. Liverani instead energized the team with Cyprien and Inglese instead of Karamoh and Cornelius. Milan’s momentum came from both sides and the quality was guaranteed by Calhanoglu, but it was a bad day ahead. Liverani also added Sohm in place of Kurtic and all three changes improved Parma, which occasionally broke the Rossoneri siege. In the last attack, Rebic’s only idea rejected by Sepe and on the rebound one of the best left-backs in all of Europe, Theo Hernández, launched the ball to the corner with a precise and powerful shot..
Besides the point won, Milan still had a couple of records: remained undefeated in the first 11 Serie A games for the first time since 2003-04 and after the defeat of Atlético de Madrid yesterday they remained the only undefeated team in the top five European leagues since the resumption of the championships last month of may.. But these are records that count for little. Pioli is concerned about the advancement of others.
