What is up to us … Weighing Pegs and your job. De Zerbi, the power of consistency

Very well. Wrap the month and a half between June and August 2020, when the championship is finished by the piece after the lockdown. Wrap it up, but don’t throw it away before you’ve tasted a more than decent return to Europe, with no away defeats and a superb eighth match against United. The prize for that seemingly empty streak of results, victories and records. Then slice the current championship, tasting the flavors of the 22 days in the lead and the following 13 in second place alone or in company, with the exception of only one round in 5th place. Now close your eyes and rethink, enjoying the fragrance and smells of the last 3 games, to alternate fasts between January and April. Does Milan deserve to be where they are? Was it or wasn’t it a fifth, sixth place team?

There were Juve, Inter and Napoli favorites for the Scudetto. There was Atalanta fourth wheel. There were the Romans ready to leap. Other than fifths or sixths: there was the spectrum of the seventh, of course not. Instead, the Rossoneri were there, always there, in front of everyone and now in a rush for the sprint: 75 points at 180 ‘from the end are enormous. They are the certification that remains to detach the ticket and collect the prize that is due to us: that journey back home, that return journey where our history is written. The Champions. The Europe that matters. Our Europe.

We also try to weigh well the work that Stefano Pioli has done with this team, in just 16 months, making it grow and mature, bringing it to levels of performance that are unthinkable for many and enhancing technical qualities that are still all (or almost) to be consecrated. With the latest pearl by Brahim Diaz who not only enhances the best qualities of the great little Spaniard, but who has revolutionized the team’s tactical set-up by delivering solidity and strength. I can’t wait for next season to start, I yearn for confirmation by breathing in the high mountain air of the last year that we have behind us.

What remains of the day is to beat Cagliari and Atalanta without taking an interest in what is happening behind us. Like for example Juve that rises again on the soil, often fertile for the bianconeri, of Sassuolo. Don’t misunderstand: thinking badly makes you sin … But one thing is certain: the upright morality of Don Roberto De Zerbi, only a few weeks ago reluctantly dragged to play at San Siro against the demon Milan of the SuperLeague, crumbled when the calendar placed his team in front of Juventus. That is, of the SuperLeague’s leader Silence was the only defense of the values ​​that De Zerbi chose for the occasion. A silence in which the noise of hypocrisy stood out.
