With a win that would have overtaken Inter to reach the top of the table, ROSSRico AC Milan was defeated 1-2 at home by Spezia, missing a great opportunity to reach the top. And the unfortunate experience of being blown in turn by the opponent before the final goal was read by the opponent, which made the Milan general extremely depressed.
In last week's Coppa Italia, AC Milan beat Genoa 3-1 to advance to an easy finish against Spezia, who is 17th in the table, and the Rossoneri are determined to win. Ibrahimovic, Leo, Díaz, Salmax, Bakayoko and Florenzi, the main players who did not start in the cup games were all starting games. In the opening 2 minutes, Leo knocked on the mountain with a left-sided inside shot to open the prelude to Milan's attack, and in the following time, he and Ibrahimovic threatened the opponent's goal many times. In the 45th minute of the first half, Spezia goalkeeper was awarded a penalty for a foul on Leo after a mistake inside the penalty area, but Te'o's main penalty inadvertently hit the upright and popped up. However, in stoppage time, Leo still received a long pass from Clunic and easily picked out the goal to help Milan take a 1-0 lead to end the first half.
In the second half, Milan's attack did not decrease, but Spezia also began to wait for an opportunity to counterattack after stabilizing his position. In the 64th minute of the match, center Werdera sent a cross from the wing, and Agudlow swept the goal in front of goal, and the two teams returned to the same running line. The most controversial scene came in the injury time phase of the game, in the 92nd minute, Messias shot inside the box, but at the moment he got up, the referee had already whistled the scoring of the Spezia defender defensive foul, the goal was ruled invalid, and this penalty that clearly violated the principle of offensive advantage also caused dissatisfaction among Milan players.
A minute later, Ibrahimovic's header hit the upright and Milan missed the deadlock again. The undead Spezia responded in the 95th minute when Kovalenko's cross from the left was met by Giuchy's small angle to help Spezia complete the second-reading. A confused Milan can only accept a 1-2 reversal ending.
Milan had an absolute advantage in this campaign, with 60% of the ball in control and creating as many as 25 shots on goal, 8 of which were on target, while visiting Spezia only had 10 shots and 6 shots on target, however, it was the away team that finally laughed. This result is directly related to the referee's blinding penalty in stoppage time.
In fact, after the whistle awarded the Spezia player for a defensive foul, the referee named Marco Serra immediately realized his mistake and apologized to the Milan player, and according to the Italian media, he will also be banned for a long time. However, it is not objective to blame the referee for all the reasons for the failure. As the saying goes, playing iron also needs to be hard, and at this point, milanese soldiers are not doing well.
Only 1 goal was scored in 8 of the 25 shots on goal, Theo conceded a penalty, Ibrahimovic's header also hit the upright, and countless scoring opportunities were wasted, so that the Rossoneri could not score the second goal of the game, and finally was killed by the second, which was actually punishing them.
In addition, to be honest, although it is not The Premier League la Liga, it is impossible to win the championship in Serie A without a large investment. Juve won 9 consecutive titles, and continuous and stable investment is the most important reason. Inter were able to win back Koubi's 11-year Serie A title last season, with Lukaku at 74 million euros, Eriksen at €27 million, Ashraf at €43 million and Barrera at €32.5 million, adding up to €180 million.
And Milan's 2019 summer window to now, the biggest player introduced, that is, the 29.5 million euros Leo, their current top scorer, is 40-year-old Ibrahimovic, and the core of the midfield is 00 Brahin Diaz, in the back line, especially the central defender position is seriously lacking, the Rossoneri to buy a Bailey is hesitant, and now, Bailey suffered a head injury in the African Cup of Nations, the potential deal is estimated to be yellow. If you want to find another goal, you have to start all over again. If such a slashing team can win the championship, Serie A will really become a joke.
