Rematch: AC Milan won Roma with good morale, and the secret killing move of three consecutive wins in the opening match was born
On September 2, the crucial match of the third round of Serie A, Roma will play at home to AC Milan. After 90 minutes, Roma suffered a 2-1 defeat to AC Milan. The Rossoneri have won three straight wins since the start of the game, which can be described as good morale and good form.
There were more fouls in this game, which became a "focus" after the game, and the two sides fought very hotly, and the players against a lot of managers sprayed each other, which also made the fans of both sides tense and gradually moved towards the opposite situation. The reason for such a problem is mainly that the two sides are very fierce in the fight for the midfield, and they have repeatedly fallen into a tug-of-war state in the local space, and even the body movements are relatively large.
Throughout the game, the two teams committed nearly 30 fouls and received 6 yellow cards and 1 red card at the same time. This also shows how fierce the battle between the two teams is.
1- Milan took chances, Roma were inefficient
However, Milan clearly took advantage of the chances better. They had four fewer shots on goal than Roma. However, it was twice as good on target, with Roma scoring too many opportunities with seven of their 13 shots on goal. Milan, on the other hand, have made good use of every possible goal opportunity to create a big enough threat to the opposite backline. In the game, the veteran Olivier Giroud scored another goal, Leo also scored, and Pioli's tuning of these players can be described as more and more brilliant. The attack that people are worried about is not bad for the time being.
2- Leo's ability
What must be said is the individual ability to ensure that Milan can win the game, which is similar to the performance of the first two rounds of the season. And the individual ability mentioned here is naturally the wing breakthrough ability of Portuguese teenager Rafael Leo. With his help, AC Milan got through the team's side combination. Leo and Giroud, Leo and Ryanders, Leo and Cheek all have relatively close interactions, and each other's passing and playing gaps make Roma's defense very uncomfortable.
Therefore, many times, the Roma team can only stop Leo through fouls or forced physical confrontations to delay Milan's attack, which also lays the foundation for the anger of both sides.
3- The opening point is sent to Milan
Milan's penalty in the sixth minute was a testament to that. At this time, almost all the members of the Roma team were already standing in the box, and no defensive position was lost. The physical fitness is really guaranteed, after all, the competition has just begun. However, Loft Cheek and Giroud fully attracted the attention of many members of the opposing team like masters, which in turn led to the Roma team being forced to fight hard, intercept Milan, and be forced to arrange "penaltyes".
This also gave Giroud a valuable opportunity to take the lead. After that, Milan's advantage in the first half was clear, and Roma did not have many chances. They exerted their strength and basically concentrated on part of the second half.
Milan's strategic design is very clear, that is, side walk + midfield control
4-Edge-in-line combination transformation
At the same time, Milan also paid full attention to the possibility of converting their advantage on the wing into goals, using the wing corridor to compress the opponent's space, so that Roma, who already wanted to win by defense, were forced to be compressed in the box. The second goal, although Leo's volley after leaning on the man was a demonstration of personal ability, but Milan's overall cooperation fully demonstrated Pioli's tactical idea, which is to actively compress the defensive end of the boss and break their tight design.
5- Madness and madness in the second half
It can be said that Milan's arrangement in this game is still very reasonable, and Pioli's understanding of the players and restrictions on Roma are much better than Mourinho's. After conceding two goals, Roma launched a frantic counter-attack, especially in the second half with an insane 10 shots on goal and some chances to score, but the grasp was really poor.

Pioli unlocked Milan's 300 wins
It caused a lot of controversy, and it was also shown by Mu Shuai's impatience. The referee's scale is really uncertain, which makes AC Milan supporters very angry. This relative chaotic pattern does not bring any chance of reversal, and Milan's victory is inevitable. It seems that Rome has too much to reform and adjust. This is also the fundamental problem of the coach leading the team.
