Serie A is already in its 30th round! This means that in eight more rounds, the Serie A champions will finally reveal the results! And ac Milan away to the relegation edge of Cagliari, finally came up with the most stable performance, united to win three points, and because Inter Milan and Fiorentina drew, which also made ac Milan's top position more stable.
Next, chat ball Jun will briefly review the key match between ac Milan and Cagliari!
Solid defense, let Milan sword champions
1. Strive to win, all the staff are desperate, and the Special Olympics position is classic front!
In this match, compared to the victory over Burnley on March 13, Pioli only had two personnel changes: first, Theo returned to the starting lineup, second, Díaz replaced Tonali to start, and in other positions, ac Milan still arranged the most critical starting lineup.
Milan starters haven't changed much
This is also in the long Serie A schedule, Pioli currently believes that the more reliable lineup, of which the combination of Tomori and Kalulu is the most reassuring to Milan fans, and they have maintained a clean sheet in many games!
At the beginning of the game Milan took the lead in the attack, Theo left side of a somewhat unbalanced cross, still by Messias found a chance to point a little ball, although the header was blocked, but Giroud got the opportunity to make up for the small penalty area, but Giroud faced this good opportunity that no one was watching, did not stop shooting, did not kick the right position, the ball directly rubbed the upper corner of the goal frame and flew out of the bottom line!
It was an attack in the 7th minute of the game, which showed Milan's determination to grab the start and win the game, but Olivier Giroud's foot feeling was not good, and Milan failed to make a dream start.
Giroud missed a great opportunity
Then in the 13th minute, it was Theo's cross near midfield, Casey shot directly from outside the penalty area, the quality of the shot was good, but unfortunately the shot hit the upright and popped up the bottom line.
In the 14th minute, it was Still Theo, who was straight in front of the box, Diaz's shot was outrageously deflected and looked like a pass, and Milan finished the three-plate axe in the opening stage, missing multiple opportunities to take the lead.
Such a first half is actually very interesting, as a full-back, Te'o, once again began his familiar performance, playing into the "midfield area", as the final finisher of Milan's last pass, or the final shot, at the same time, Theo can also serve as a premise defense to prevent Cagliari's counterattack for the first time.
Special Olympics' personal data and running hot zone map
As a full-back, Special Olympics is definitely a model of being able to go up and down, and at some specific times or on a specific offense, Special Olympics will even come to the opponent's penalty area to increase the team's control in front of the penalty area.
Of course, it should be noted that Special Olympics' style of play requires teammates to take care of his defensive zone, and at the same time, it is better when facing weaker opponents and opponents lacking the quality of counterattack!
In this game, Special Olympics won 9 ground confrontations, won 7 times, sent 5 key passes, 2 passes, 3 steals on the defensive end, 2 clearances, 2 fouls, 1 interception!
The Performance of the Special Olympics is unquestionable, and if it were not for Theather's master performance, the best in the whole room would be the Special Olympics.
2. Benacell played a master performance! Milan are ready to renew their contract for two years.
With Milan's quick-forward hopes dashed, positional warfare and tug-of-war were inevitable, but Milan still got a lot of opportunities to break the deadlock by shooting a large number of shots (21 shots in total), but in general, Milan really lacked a stable scoring point, and ultimately relied on Bennacell's fairy ball to defuse Cagliari's tenacity.
Benasser volleyed down Cagliari!
Often, we usually think of the volley as a "fairy ball", because such a goal can be found, not only requires technical support, but also requires a combination of luck.
This ball seems to be a flash of Inspiration for Ben nasser, but in fact, before scoring this golden goal, ac Milan at least 5 players, first by counter-grabbing the ball, and then with a dozen feet of passing + confrontation, finally sent the ball to the feet of Díaz, and finally Díaz crossed to find Giroud, giroud did a strong back to Ben nasser! Hammer and finish!
In this game, Benacell was in full control of the rhythm of ac Milan's game, with 61 passes, 49 accurate passes, 3 successful passes, 3 fouls and other statistics, all of which were the highest among the players on the field!
Benacell has already made a qualitative change in ac Milan
Although the opponent is a relegation team, Benacell's performance also reflects his unlimited potential.
Just after the match, the Italian star Skira quickly followed up with the news: Milan are about to renew his contract with Bencell, the Algerian midfielder will get a new two-year contract, while the annual salary has increased a lot, and his liquidated damages clause with Milan will be deleted.
It is worth noting that Skira also said that Milan had basically agreed with Benacell as early as early February, which is an important piece of good news for Milan now that Casey is about to leave the team!
3. Defensive end: as stable as usual
Milan's defense is not flawless, but Menion, as the team's final hurdle, is indeed very stable, in the last five games, Menion has completed 5 saves, with Tomori, Kalulu, Calabria and other players to complete three consecutive clean sheets.
The combination of Kalulu and Tomori, the most trusted centre-back duo at the moment, can be ac Milan's future, and the two player combinations have conceded zero goals in 496 minutes in 496 minutes.
Tomori's performance is getting better and better
This is the key reason why Milan can climb the points after the Milan derby and surpass Inter Milan. At the moment, ac Milan is temporarily 3 points ahead of Napoli, the second place in Serie A!
Conclusion: Cagliari discriminated after the game and sparked large-scale conflicts
The racial discrimination of Cagliari fans against Tomori and Menion after the game made the Milan players very dissatisfied, and they also clashed with the Cagliari players, and it can only be said that Cagliari lost and lost this time.
Ac Milan officials also said after the game: the team will fight racism and support the discriminated Menion and Tomori.
However, it should be noted that since the Milan derby, ac Milan has won 7 games, 5 wins and 2 draws, scoring 17 points, while Inter Milan has only won one win in 7 games, 7 points, and ac Milan has recovered the 10-point gap!
This can't help but remind people of last season, after the derby in the first half of the season, Inter Milan made a leap forward, chasing ac Milan for 11 points in 6 rounds! And finally won the Serie A championship as desired! This season, can ac Milan take advantage of Inter's many mistakes and return to the top of Serie A? Let's wait and see!
