The priority for the January transfer market is a defender, because Kjaer’s absence was felt more than Ibrahimovic’s, given that goals have always arrived in front, while behind Donnarumma he has always collected and certainly not his fault. The names that fascinate the most, however, are always those of the attackers and in the specific case also because there is no certainty about the date of return of Ibrahimovic and above all about his resistance, given that he is 39 years old and his body despite his attention is not it may be that of ten years ago when he arrived at Milan for the first time and immediately won the Scudetto. Despite the tactics of silence from the top of the club, a striker has to arrive and so after the names of Giroud and Scamacca, here comes that of Jovic, 23, Bosnian, on the sidelines of Real Madrid, partly because of injuries, Covid including, since he hasn’t played since the end of September, and partly because it is difficult for young players to find space in Zidane’s club. On the qualities of Jovic, however, they all agree and since in Milan the young people immediately find space, this third player from Real Madrid is welcome, who could repeat the exploits of Theo Hernandez and Brahim Diaz, snubbed like him in Madrid. Between suspensions and injuries, there is a need for an enlarged staff, also because the 5 substitutions favor substitutions from the bench. With Jovic and even better with a defender, perhaps Simakan, Milan could really aim for the Scudetto and / or the European Cup for at least three reasons.
The first reason is the result of the game, the harmony and consequently the results, because after 14 days of the championship, Milan is the only undefeated team, only in the lead, with more than double the points of a year ago. Inter, Napoli, among other things away from home, and Lazio, with or without Ibrahimovic and Kjaer, do not fight by chance or fortunately to speak only of the two very successful players.
The second reason is linked to the psychological aspect, because Milan does not have the obligation to win the Scudetto, unlike Juventus and Inter itself. And so thanks to the splendid start and the speed of the young people, everyone plays lightly, having fun and amusing the fans, unfortunately only in front of the TV. It is no coincidence that the video with the players’ songs and the “Pioli on fire” choir is an exclusive Rossoneri, because there is no news of other similar parties in Inter, Juventus and atalanta struggling with the case- Gomez.
Finally, there is the third reason, no less important than the other two, which is linked to the history of our football, because the surprise factor often plays a decisive role. Flying over the exceptional cases of Cagliari in 1970, Verona in 1985 and Sampdoria in 1991, there are two precedents that bode well to stay at Milan. Rocco’s second Milan won the 1968 Scudetto when no one expected it with the “old men” Cudicini, Malatrasi, Hamrin and Sormani, and in the same year he also won the Cup Winners’ Cup. Then there was Zaccheroni’s AC Milan who won in 1999 and also in that season it was a great surprise for Maldini himself who celebrated his first Scudetto with the captain’s armband after Baresi’s retirement. If it is true that there is no two without three, Pioli’s Milan have everything to win the Scudetto. And he could do the same in Europe, given that he has already won the European Cup twice after crossing the Red Star, in 1989 with Sacchi and in 2007 with Ancelotti. So go on like this and happy 2021 to all the readers of Milan News.
