Sorry, but was the San Siro stadium full against Lille? Or in the first half hour against Verona? Maybe against Verona the stadium was full when we conceded the 2 goals and then it emptied when we drew after unleashing hell in the opposing area several times? I ask, because the story of Milan is back out that is good because the stadium is empty. Dear Milan fans, I say to you. It is you who must rise up. When they tell you that Milan are doing well without you, they tell you that you are a damage, a problem. When in reality I have always known that the Rossoneri fans have historically always been, for those who know the history of Milan, the added value of Milan, the resource of Milan. The banner I loved most at the stadium has always been the one on the Rossoneri vertical stripes: “As beautiful as the Sun”. But enough with this nonsense. When Milan does well, Milan wins a full stadium or an empty stadium. When it hurts it loses, full stage or empty stage. Lille docet, but not only that, before the lockdown with the stadium full, Milan had beaten Cagliari, Udinese, Brescia and Turin and deserved to win at San Siro against Juventus in the Italian Cup. This empty stadium thing, after all, is a bit of a coward. Anyone who supports this should say clearly and transparently that they don’t believe in Milan. Because excellent teams such as Napoli, in fact, and Atalanta, are supported in the predictions and in the general consideration even if they also play with empty stadiums. You say that you think they are stronger than Milan, a legitimate opinion, and that’s it, without putting your conscience in order with the stupidity of the empty stadium. The other nonsense is that it is Ibra who keeps Milan standing. Ibra is very important would be missing, but why is Cristiano Ronaldo doing with Juve? Indeed, while we’re at it, why does Milan win in Crotone without Ibra and Juve draw in Crotone without CR7? The chewers of clichés should answer the questions, instead of constantly crumpling up stuff that everyone has said and said, stuff much more repeated than thought. And Inter, sorry? Without Lukaku doing, does he win all the games? With a difference: Ibra and Lukaku make the players of their department and their team grow, they do theirs and sacrifice themselves for the team. Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, does his extraordinarily but does not increase the context around him. See the current Dybala, but not only, to believe.
That said, Naples. On a strictly tactical level, it is by far the team with which Milan has struggled the most in all of 2020 in the league. The second half of the derby was lost emotionally, at San Siro against Atalanta Milan perhaps deserved to win. But against Napoli at the San Paolo the good Rino had “wrapped” it very well in July, with Milan having put together the draw more on the episodes than on the identity, more on the moments than on the certainties transmitted to the team by Stefano Pioli . All short in defense and all fluid in the restart. Game full of traps. Of course, if Milan restarted after the November break as they restarted after the October break … I remember the Pioli of the derby well: lucid, present, charged, but he didn’t have to overdo it on the bench. It was the team that gave him peace of mind and serenity. The same thing that the Rossoneri will have to do tomorrow at the San Paolo, all the more so since they know how much the Coach is on his toes not to be at Milanello … Milan has everything to do well, it has its London property (Elliott, for who doesn’t even know grammar) who runs the club by settling the liabilities and approving the market, has his coach in total harmony with his collaborators who know how to represent him always and in any case and has his Rebic and Ibra who spent 2 weeks 2 at Milanello to sharpen their weapons. Here is what it takes in Naples, the football weapons, the shots, the sparigliate. Because all the minutiae and tactical nuances Rino will have to prepare and fine-tune them obsessively and intensely. as it always does. And it is precisely in this subtle stretch that Milan must enter. Rino thus gives all of himself in preparing for the match, which sometimes fails to change the contours during the match. If Milan are good at opening this tiny crack, they can hope to leave Naples, finally, after ten years, with something in their hands. And ten years ago, at the San Paolo, Bonera and Ibra were there. Of course there were.
