Milan, sprint scudetto: Pioli lacks the spare bomber

There is no player who can guarantee a good number of goals by entering a match in progress. Inter and Napoli, on the other hand, have it. And with Ibra still out …

When Pioli turns to the bench, he finds everything, from useful reinforcements to offensive outsiders, except for goals, because with Ibra’s forfeit the flickers of those available are almost completely missing. Lack of goals during the race then, that “number 12” you throw in and something combines. Maybe it even solves the game for you. If the defense holds up – 564 minutes of unbeaten between league and cup, only one goal conceded in the last six games -, the attack is struggling.

FEW GOALS

Against Toro came the second 0-0 in a row, only 4 goals in 7 games. Leao hasn’t scored since February 25, Messias since 19, Giroud since March 6, Brahim since September. And on the bench there is a shortage of goals. Just look at the probable formation in view of the match against Genoa on Friday: with Ibra out of the game another ten days, Pioli will have just ten goals available. Two from Rebic, one from Maldini, three from Diaz (in a ballot for a starting position) and four from Messias. The comparison with Inter and Napoli, fighting for the Scudetto like the Rossoneri, is unequal. In the Azzurri there are more than 16 goals as cards to play during the match in progress: Mertens (8 goals), Lozano (4), Elmas (3), Juan Jesus (1). Inter have Sanchez (3), Correa (4, but have not scored since October), Gagliardini (2), Vecino, Vidal, Darmian and Gosens (all to one).

FROM THE BENCH

The comparison also continues with those who are further down in the rankings. Lazio can count on one of Zaccagni, Pedro and Felipe Anderson, goals from the bench in rotation; Roma have Zaniolo (2 goals), Afena-Gyan (2) and Shomurodov (2); in Atalanta there is the usual Muriel, 25 career goals in Serie A who took over in the second half (five rings this year), sometimes Gasp also has Pasalic (9 goals). Someone is there. Against Genoa, however, Pioli will have about ten goals at his disposal. If Diaz and Messias were to start not even half of them. So far Milan have scored 5 goals with the substitutes. Inter signed 10 with 6 players, Napoli 7 with the same as the Nerazzurri. Atalanta (11), Rome (9), Udinese (8), Sassuolo (8), Turin (6) also did better. One more factor. What Milan is missing at the moment.
