, Milan still stays at the top of the list, but all sane Milan fans know that this team is far from complete. In the 1-3 match that was broken by Juventus and , the undefeated golden. The shortcomings of insufficient lineup thickness have been exposed to the full.
needs to be added
Everyone knows that Milan needs to improve too much, but there is a lot of discussion about which is more important. Recently, Milan’s meritorious captain Ambrosini’s view is:
“If this team wants to improve, then Romagnoli needs to improve his performance, so that his partner will be easier, although Kalulu and Gabi Ya has worked very hard. In addition, Kronic is struggling too much in his position.”
Obviously, except for Kronic, who criticized everyone, the old captain believes that the current captain needs to do better.
Obviously Ambrosini has seen that Romagnoli’s state has been sluggish after returning from injury this season. During the injury of Kjaer, the quality of his teammates’ defense plummeted, even in Kea. In the two games of Er's return, he often had one-on-one scenes where he was frustrated by others, which was obviously wrong.
central defender's problem
and Milan’s moves in the January transfer market are also tilting in this regard: the number one target has always been French central defender Simaquin, and he quickly turned his attention to Kabak two months after his serious injury was diagnosed. Or a central defender like Bud.
This is not necessarily aimed at Romagnoli. After all, Duarte has already left the team on loan, but the team used the already stretched and precious transfer funds primarily for signings at the central defender position. This is enough to explain this position. Worry about it.
came to this Coppa Italia to face Turin for the second time in three consecutive days. Romagnoli’s partner was replaced by the defender Mousacchio who started again after 325 days, although it was only a game in Turin. A large-scale rotation game, but the challenge to the captain who has just celebrated his 26th birthday seems even more difficult. Captain
happy 26th birthday
time back for three years. Today’s starter is Milan’s main central defender combination, but Musacchio in 2021 may not be reassuring. The left and right guards also carried out a large-scale rotation: Kallulu and Dalot appeared in the starting lineup, and the second goalkeeper Tatarusanu got another chance to perform.
Tonali recovered from injury in time to catch up with the Cup, but his midfielder partner was not Casey. Calabria appeared in the midfielder for the third time and started, which makes people feel like they have been in the Italian media recently. In the praise of "another Kimmich", Mr. Pi is also willing to let him try new breakthroughs. The biggest highlight of the four players in the front court is that Ibrahimovic finally returned to the starting position. After the last bench test, he finally announced his official return, which relieved the fans who were worried that he would be reimbursed for the season.
theoretically has only two semi-main players
and his starting lineup naturally means that Leon can return to his more accustomed left wing position. Diaz has taken a turn to take care of Charhanoglu, who is in full contract renewal negotiations, and Casti Lehuo is the right winger.
Two battles in three days San Siro , Milan’s old friend Gianpaolo has made a larger rotation. Compared with the league three days ago, Turin’s starter has replaced 8 people, except for the frontcourt and the defensive midfielder. All positions except Rincon and central defender Bremer have been changed.
In theory, the regular main players in this starter are only Romagnoli, Ibrahimovic and Castillejo, which is in line with the positioning of "don't spend too much energy in such a cup", but this group of young " "Substitute" players should not miss any opportunity to show themselves.
three days and two battles
This is the key factor in the rapid rise of the young Milan in the past year.
has a stat that you may not know well: the statistics of U21 players' playing time in Serie A this season-
Milan dominates in 6,105 minutes. Compared with
, Juventus has 1362 minutes, Inter Milan has 1265 minutes, Sassuolo has 1978 minutes, and the closest Milan is Verona has only 2465 minutes.
real youth storm
all other teamsNeither has more than 1,000 minutes, Naples and Atlanta and have less than 300 minutes, and Lazio doesn't even have U21 players playing time. Compared with
, Milan's advantage is already clear. In a game like
, both sides will not enter the state quickly at the beginning. In contrast, Milan’s young people have been trying to increase the speed of the game in the high position of the frontcourt. I noticed two biggest changes: One is Iraq. The cloth is completely forward and Diaz retreats very frequently to take the ball in the backcourt. Second, Calabria is very close to the front and even a 4141 single midfielder when attacking.
This should be something Teacher Pi wants to test. The recovery of
Ibrahimovic also attracted attention. Diaz is trying to replicate the role of Charhanoglu, but the biggest problem with Milan’s lineup is that the two full-backs can't be pushed up at all. The opening stage was in Turin. Physically the situation is extremely stalemate, Milan did not have any effective attack in the first 20 minutes. The most common shot of
in the opening scene was that Diaz was knocked down. He was violated 7 times in the first half an hour and allowed his opponent to get a yellow card.
At the same time, Tonali is in the dilemma of constantly fighting with the opponent, and as a substitute Calabria does not have such a scheduling ability, Ibrahimovic can not get the ball at all.
wants Tonali to get on the body...
, after being completely suppressed in the backcourt, Torino made several counterattacks and got three shots and two corner kicks. It should be said that this lineup is not a success today.
Milan finally got their first shot in 30 minutes: Calabria finally found Ibrahimovic with a long pass for the first time, who finished the first shot in the penalty area after stopped the ball and .
The only threatening shot
As the game progressed, Milan's midfielder's consistent frontal oppression ability was insufficient and weaknesses were once again demonstrated. In 38 minutes, Torino easily penetrated Milan's frontal defense at the front of the penalty area, and Gojac shot with his left foot in the penalty area It was saved by Tartarusanu-this was Torino's fifth shot.
Tatarusanu’s save
This half is qualified to compete in Milan’s most lackluster half of the season. When the speed cannot be pushed up, it can only rely on personal ability. From this level, it still depends on Ibrahimovic: half There were only two threatening scenes in Milan in the game: one was Ibrahimovic’s shot, and the other happened 1 minute before the end of the half. Ibrahimovic went from stealing to pushing to the penalty area, and finally sending a straight line to Leon. The kick shot was blocked.
Ibrahimovic's role
This is the quality of Ibrahimovic with the few chances to touch the ball. In contrast, Castillejo really has no sense of existence. After the half-time break, the teacher Pi immediately changed to Shanghai Yuge and Charhanoglu. Ibrahimovic's exit allowed Milan to return to the fast-forward mode of the past month, and Leon returned to the center position.
Diaz sent a straight pass from the ribs in the 50th minute. Leon formed a single shot and was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper. This was Milan's best chance.
In 57 minutes, Kalulu made a high-speed cross from Calabria and was saved by Calabria, but Dalot made a shot at the goal post!

1 minute later, Calabria made a pass from the left and left foot for the second time. Milan completed 8 shots from Changhong in just 15 minutes!
In 63 minutes, Teacher Pi replaced Special Olympics and Casey on the field. Milan did not want to play overtime.
In 71 minutes, the opponent's goalkeeper made a stoppage error and almost let Leon catch a chance. Z1z Donnarumma on the sidelines was sent off by the referee because of excessive complaints.

continued to press but missed the best chance to score. Milan missed the best chance to win the game within 90 minutes. The direction of this Coppa Italia Has gone in an unpredictable direction.
Milan missed the last golden opportunity in 86 minutes: Charhanoglu's pass was pushed up by Diaz with his left foot. The last chance of
game was forced to enter a meaningless but 4 yellow card overtime, start the final penalty shootout.
So we saw Tatarusanu's brilliant save of the penalty kick to become a hero, and also saw Tonali's penalties from the extreme angle and the captain's penalties against pressure.
Tatarusanu became a hero
, the last one was calmly hit by Charhanoglu, ending the fight.
end the battle!
Milan double-killed Turin in three days and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia! It's really a long game, and it's not easy to spend these 130 minutes in the wee hours. Z3z
this difficult game has a revelation: when Ibrahimovic left the game, Milan found the familiar fast-paced and wing ball assault method in the
game. The offensive threat in the second half was not the same as the first half.
The speed increase in the second half is very obvious.
On the one hand, Ibrahimovic is hard to be exact in the first half after a long injury. On the other hand, Milan does slow down when Ibrahimovic is on the court. At this time, it is necessary to transfer the ball and tactically move the side. Waiting for the tactical requirements will be higher, in the absence of No. 4 and Charhanoglu, the first half is indeed very obscure.
turned out to be a good
last. Even though he didn’t have much playing time, Charhanoglu still showed his decisive role in the team, so now he and the team's ongoing contract extension negotiations are very delicate. .
Milan can only pay 4 million at most, but his agent insists on asking for 5 million. Is Milan risking losing the offensive core or gritting his teeth to set a precedent? Many fans of
say that training Diaz to replace Cha 10, personally think that there is still some way to realize this dream, and-
Chalkhanoglu is still indispensable
Have you forgotten Diaz is still You guys on loan in the team can't be Real Madrid, right?
Milan has a 6-day break anyway, and the next game is Cagliari.
