Immediately below, Deiola’s immediate equal then three other goals collected by a troubled defense
SENT TO MILAN. To say that Cagliari’s first half was a disaster is to pay a compliment to the rossoblùs. They were overwhelmed by a Milan who willingly prepared an impalpable opponent, practically resigned to taking them, without hinting at a reaction. Semplici’s team didn’t even put in the pride that other times proved to be an important weapon. She turned the other cheek and was slapped mercilessly. The difference between the two formations was at times embarrassing. But not the defense must be accused, but the whole team which, when the opponents own the ball, do not cover as it should. Strootman and Marin run empty, Nandez tries to do it all by himself but gets wrapped up. So they allow themselves prairies, on which quality players (and Milan have many and Diaz yesterday seemed a “Martian”) do not let themselves be begged to hurt you. There is a lot to review in a group that had already shown limits against Spezia. A heavy blow, hard to metabolize. The signal that reinforcements serve like hotcakes. There are two days to fill the gaps, we will see if the company will take action. It should be remembered that after the scare of last season, it is better to avoid making mistakes that could prove fatal. Ball to society.
Obligatory choices. Surely those of Semplici. There are two new features compared to the debut match: Radunovic replaces the injured Cragno, Ceppitelli takes the place of Walukiewicz, the worst on the pitch in the match against Spezia. Form confirmed (3-5-2). Both Nandez and Godin play from the first minute. The first could remain until at least January, the defender is discussing his contract with the club to spread it. Milan are the same ones who beat Sampdoria, a 4-2-3-1 with Giroud at the end of the attack.
Target shooting. After a balanced start with the two teams pressing high, reducing the spaces, everything happens. Cagliari must immediately chase. The rossoblù goalkeeper puts a lot of his own on the goal conceded. Tonali mocked him on a free kick on the side where he is placed. Little reactive in the circumstance. But the Rossoneri advantage lasts an amen, because a few seconds later it is Deiola who puts her in the head on the assist of Joao Pedro. The waters do not calm down and Pioli’s team is back on with Diaz, lucky in the winning deviation on a shot by Leao. It’s a crackling, fun start to the race. The ball of the game is in the hands of the Devil who strikes again with Giroud (first goal in Italy). After 24 ‘the match seems to be on ice. Too easy for the Rossoneri to sink, the non-possession phase for the islanders continues to be a problem. “Cheerful” markings, almost a fracture between one department and another. Naivities are wasted. The last one commits Strootman who protects himself with his elbow on Diaz’s shot but is inside the area. A penalty with the help of the Var and a double from the French Giroud, acclaimed by the fans.
Catwalk. Cagliari’s reaction? Not even the shadow. Milan continues the monologue but is satisfied with the result, they play without ever sinking, so much so that they know that the rossoblù can’t wait for the match to end to avoid being boarded. Cagliari returns home with broken bones and a mountain of problems to solve. The spirit of a team whose goal is salvation without suffering cannot be seen last night. The market will bring something but it is above all the attitude that must change. Because Milan are certainly stronger but if you roll out a red carpet for them, it is normal that you have no escape.
