All too easy for Milan, who beat Salernitana at home and momentarily fly to first place in the standings, waiting for the big match between Napoli and Atalanta. At San Siro it ends 2-0 thanks to goals from Kessie and Saelemaekers. Success felt and dedicated to the injured Kjaer (out for the rest of the season), already honored in the pre-match with a shirt and a writing as simple as significant: “Come on Simon”. The only drawback of the Rossoneri’s super start is another muscle injury suffered by Pellegri, on his debut as a starter but forced to leave after a few minutes. Right between Kessie’s opening goal in the 5 ‘and Saelemaekers’ doubling in the 18′. Milan are in total control and almost double the doubling several times, especially close to the interval, first with Krunic and then with Kessie himself. In the second half, Pioli’s team manages the double advantage without too many problems, so much so that the coach can afford several changes to let some very successful players catch their breath. There are many other opportunities to increase the advantage but, between good saves by Belec and incredible mistakes in front of goal, Milan can no longer find the way to the net. Thus ends 2-0.
«I leave with the satisfaction of a good performance and a good victory. Too easy to think that it was obvious, we deserved it because everything in football is sweaty. I go out with confidence, the team has shown maturity »: these are the sensations of the Milan coach Stefano Pioli, in Dazn, after the 2-0 win over Salernitana which propels the Rossoneri to the top of the standings at least for the moment. On Tuesday Milan will face Liverpool in the Champions League, a very difficult match in which a miracle will be needed to reach the qualification: «Having met them already gives us some more information. In the Champions League you have to be qualitative and intense and so must our performance. We will have to concede something but we can take advantage of the spaces they will leave us ». A very balanced championship in which the details will make the difference: «I was expecting a few more teams, it seems that the top four are breaking away but it is still early. The details, the cups and the injuries decide the season ».
