Serie A – The report cards of Milan-Napoli 0-1: monumental Zielinski, Brahim Diaz practically nil

–

Mike MAIGNAN 6: Elmas’s well-aimed header at 5 ‘comes from close range, making the trajectory virtually unstoppable. He has no faults.

Alessandro FLORENZI 6: in the first half touches the acute with a volley from the distance that shaves the pole. Almost always comes first on the ball: the former Roma, PSG and Valencia proves, in short, in the evening.

Dall’86 ‘Pierre Kalulu: sv.

Fikayo TOMORI 6.5: often makes a wall, in a very stoic way, at the conclusion of the forward opponents.

Alessio ROMAGNOLI 6.5: he keeps a good watch back there, containing Petagna and his associates with order and discipline.

Fodé BALLO-TOURE 5: disputes a disastrous first half, parched in the presence of Lozano, who anticipates him on all fronts. The former Monaco has excellent aerobic characteristics, but as a basic technique he cannot be considered a “Milan” player. Pulled into play due to the absence of Theo Hernandez, he recovered slightly in the second half with some interesting recoveries. But the inadequacy remains.

Sandro TONALI 5.5: Elmas let slip in scoring, on the occasion of the opening goal of the North Macedonian midfielder. In midfield he is tidy, but without overdoing it.

Dal 78′ Ismaël Bennacer 6: immediately gave vigor and push to the Rossoneri final forcing.

Franck KESSIE 6.5: he is ready for the goal at the end, then canceled by the VAR amid a thousand controversies. Good performance on the Rossoneri midline.

Junior MESSIAH 5.5: he tries with two or three crosses of relative interest, but ends up having little impact.

From 78 ‘Samuel Castillejo 6.5: sparkling and full of initiative in the final quarter of an hour, in both phases. It also comes into play on the occasion of Franck Kessié’s goal – later invalidated -.

Brahim Diaz 4.5: ectoplasm. He touches very few balls, he is often out of the game and his contribution to the Rossoneri offensive phase is absolutely nil.

From 63 ‘Olivier Giroud 6: difficult to mark, his “stage presence” sows panic – more than Ibrahimovic – among the shirts of the Neapolitan defense. However – in spite of himself – he is the involuntary (and, in fact, innocent) responsible for the goal canceled in the final.

Rade KRUNIC 5.5: determination is not enough. Try to break through on the trocar line without creating the right conditions.
