Stefano Pioli is the great loser of the Milan derby. Players no longer follow him and the coach from Emilia decided, with the initial line-up, that the first major objective had to be to avoid a goleada. He gave himself up to his opponents without trying to play it, denying an identity that had led him to win the Scudetto. An unacceptable attitude for a team that must proudly defend the tricolor sewn on the chest. Because those who practice high-level sports contemplate defeat but, at the same time, do not accept surrender without a fight.
BETRAYED BY THE BIG – Leão’s double exclusion cannot have a technical explanation because the Portuguese, albeit in fits and starts, proved to be the only one able to determine with courage and physical strength once again tonight. The feeling is that Pioli is also experiencing a difficult moment in the management of his group also considering the lack of will to fight of some leaders like Theo Hernandez. Now there’s no more time for the Emilian coach: either breakthrough or goodbye Champions area. The identity, unfortunately, has long since lost.
