After the first 65 minutes of relaxation, there is a thrilling second half hour; the youthful youth army is surrounded by two leaders of the offensive and defensive positions - if you witness the night of AC Milan's expedition to Rome, there must be a variety of emotions in your heart. On Ibrahimovic's milestone night, the Rossoneri proved themselves to have a strong team temperament again, but Theo's red card laid hidden dangers for Pioli's team. On another record matchday, Milan had reason to inject more confidence into themselves.
Ibrahimovic shot
If the northern three, Roma duo, Napoli and Atlanta are regarded as the new generation of "Serie A seven sisters", Roma is Milan's "favorite" opponent among the great powers. From 2018 to the start of this round, Milan have only lost one of the seven games against the Red Wolves, that is, it is the beginning of the 2019/20 league season, the chaos of the Giampaolo era has not been dispelled, and the Pioli tactics have not yet taken shape. Even so, Milan were only 1-2 small losses at the time.
Football is a sport in which quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and the same is true on the psychological level. From the Gattuso era to the Pioli era, Milan have accumulated enough confidence to face Roma, not to mention that the team has played the start of last season, morale is at a high point, so even if it is an away game, even if Mourinho was a "Milan nemesis" more than a decade ago, the Rossoneri only has 3 points in the eyes of the Rossonere - you know, the Magic Bird coached the Serie A team, and has never suffered a defeat at home in the league.
Milan's confidence is justified. The hard days of hurting half of the main frame have survived smoothly, and as the core gradually returns, there is no reason to be timid. Before the match began, Ibrahimovic's interview attracted attention again, with the Swede not only saying that he was "going to fight until he could no longer play", but also hinting that "if the club no longer needs it, Milan may not be the last stop", with the core idea clear – God is not old, the conquest continues.
As the "first person to reasonably dress X" in football, Ibrahimovic never reneged on his word, and this game is a perfect proof. Compared to Milan's theoretically strongest squad, Pioli's starting lineup was only in the absence of Díaz and Menion, and the Rossoneri relied on high pressing and large offensive input from the time of the whistle to occupy the initiative of the game. In the first 20 minutes of the opening, Casey, Leo and Ibrahimovic threatened the Gates of Rome.

Plagued by intermittent injuries, Ibrahimovic has not contributed as much to the team this season as he did last season, and God seems to be trying to prove himself in this game. Throughout the first half, except for one time when he was forced to lose the ball in the front, the Swedish Tower played almost perfectly. His pivot role greatly enriched Milan's attacking system, and it was quite threatening to do both the ball and the shot. In the case of overall dominance, scoring goals is just a matter of course.
Milan then broke the deadlock in the 25th minute in the most Ibrahimovic way - Leo created a set-piece on the left side of the box, only to see Ibrahimovic open his bow and shoot angrily, and the ball went straight through the almost only ground-to-ground scoring line and straight into the net. Such a picture is simply perfectly in line with the setting of "Feng Xian Yuanmen Shooting". For this world wave, Ibrahimovic laughed after the game: "That free kick is only 101 kilometers per hour? Generally can be faster, to 200 km, I think I am old. "Okay, it's very Zlattan.
It is worth mentioning that this is the 400th league goal and the 150th Serie A goal of Ibrahimovic's career, but God will not be satisfied with this, after which he made a chest ball to help Leo break the goal, but unfortunately was judged to be offside, and at the beginning of the second half, he stopped the ball and shot low into the net, also invalidated by offside. In the 54th minute, Ibrahimovic, who had already been offside four times, was brought down in the penalty area and successfully created a penalty.
Although it was Casey who scored the penalty, it was clear to everyone that Ibrahimovic was the decisive figure for Milan in the match. When Milan changed the convergence of their midweek game against Turin and resumed the crazy wolf-like rush, the real red wolves lost their sharpness. As a result, the cut wolves could no longer form a climate – before the moment of sudden change, everything was in Milan's hands.
Beat Mourinho the way Mourinho did
For a long time after the trough period, Milan's squad depth was widely criticized, and it was not expected that one day, the Rossoneri would make serie A strong teams "envious" in terms of personnel reserves. Yes, while the "young wolves" on the Roma bench were piled up, Pioli still had Giroud, Tornali and Romagnoli available. With the attributes of milan's away dragons, if there is no big accident, the two-goal lead is more than enough to fight back, it is simply not too comfortable.
However, the "accident" still happened. In the 65th minute, Clunic's own front of the penalty area was cut off, and the defensive Special O made a strategic foul to prevent the opponent's attack, and Theo, who had previously sent off Ibrahimovic, took out a second yellow card and expelled the iron gate and thruster on milan's left side. Judging from the move to replace Ibrahimovic in 57 minutes, Pioli may have planned to gradually let the players with yellow cards rest, but unfortunately, he was still one step too late.
In fact, the referee's scale of cards drawn in this match has been worrying from beginning to end. In the first half, Ibrahimovic was yellow carded for facing the stands for discrimination by Roma fans; Before Theo was red, Tomori was served by the yellow jewels for "delaying time"; Calabria and Casey were each playing cards, one for defending Theo and one for arguing. Milan received a total of six yellow cards, only two for fouls.
Based on this, in the first half of the second half, Roma continued to attack Theo with a yellow card, and the Frenchman finally fell red, which was unexpected and reasonable. The change completely disrupted Milan's rhythm and made an otherwise "easy" victory "difficult". In response, Pioli removed three attackers, Salemacks, Leo and Klunic, and made it clear that he would abandon the attack to defend the victory.

In front of the world's best coaches who are the best at "swinging buses", Pio uses Mourinho's way to restrain Mourinho. The magic bird that no one can use is really limited, and although Roma has made Milan's backcourt so loud, it is still difficult to really shake the defense led by Kyal. In the whole game, Danish Big Daddy completed eight clearances, and Milan did not break through the city until the 93rd minute by veteran Sharawi. There are no difficulties to create difficulties to go up, and once again, Milan have won without any danger.

Throughout the game, Milan could rely on a mature system to suppress Rome in an even number, and in a ten-man situation, Pioli also developed an effective defensive strategy. When a team is able to relax and read the game according to the conditions on the pitch, it is their real maturity.
Hidden dangers and hopes coexist
With a 2-1 win over Roma, Milan's league winning streak has expanded to seven, and this season's Serie A record has become 10 wins and 1 draw, making the Rossoneri the fourth team in Serie A history to win 10 of their first 11 matches, and the best start in team history has also been refreshed. Sadly, a supposedly perfect night was saddened by the first Serie A red card TeEo had eaten in his career – meaning that a week later in the Milan derby, Pioli would lose important thrusters.
Now that the hidden dangers have been buried, the only thing the team can do is to play the optimal solution under the existing conditions. In the past difficult time, Milan have proved that they have the strength to deal with difficulties. The equalizer was equalised in 80 minutes against Spezia, the atelier at Atalanta was inexplicably punished, the two goals behind Verona were behind, the battle against Bologna was chaotic, and the torino experienced hand-to-hand combat... Regardless of the conditions, Milan seems to have the power to turn the tide of danger, which may be the biggest improvement of this team compared to last season.
Only after experiencing the bone cold can plum blossoms be fragrant. It is these difficult, struggling battles that forge a cohesive team. According to media reports, Pioliben gave the team a holiday in the middle of the week, and as a result, half of the players actively chose to "work overtime", and in the club's latest financial statements, the loss has cut from nearly 200 million euros in 2019/20 to 96.4 million euros last season – Milan today is in a positive cycle in all aspects.
(Unity is Milan)
Ibrahimovic is the "art of immortality", Kyar is the "defensive Ibrahimovic", with veterans as the leader supporting the field, the overall framework of the vibrant Milan has a reason to write more history. Even if the chances of qualifying are slim, they have to fight for the Champions League victory, and even if Special Olympics can't play, derby is still going all out. How many surprises will this team bring to us in the coming week? Forza Milan！
