More than a game it seemed like a walk. Cesena – Milan lasted half an hour, the time necessary for Muntari and Emanuelson to score their first goals in the Rossoneri shirt. The Sunday cover is taken over by them, who from scraps have become great protagonists. The Dutchman's performance was especially impressive, finally convincing even as an attacking midfielder: dribbling, openings, continuous movement and a beautiful and important goal. Muntari's game also deserves applause, who landed at Milanello less than a week ago and is already able to play perfectly in the Rossoneri orchestra.
After receiving so much criticism, Allegri can take a few pebbles off his shoes: “Emanuelson is a good player, with great technical skills. In Cesena he gave his best performance, but since it doesn't catch the eye it is a bit mistreated by the critics. Muntari? The club made an excellent purchase, we took the opportunity given that Inter didn't take him into consideration. We knew he could come in handy for his strength and determination."
Robinho was also a great protagonist of the match, who went from rags to riches in a week. The brace against Arsenal was not a flash in the pan, the Brazilian seems to have finally found the accuracy of last season. A good goal yesterday too, but above all an exceptional match from a physical and tactical point of view, which he explains, if anything were needed, why Allegri prefers him to all his team mates.
If we really have to find a flaw in Milan's performance, it must be said that on the result of 1 – 3 the Rossoneri pulled the oars a bit, even risking reopening the match. One thing Allegri didn't like at all: “Up until 3-0 the boys played a very good game, then we gave up a bit and left the initiative to Cesena. We no longer ran towards the Romagnoli goal, even conceding the goal that could have reopened the match". The Rossoneri coach turns up his nose a bit, but deep down he is all right with his boys.
Playing so well despite 13 (!) unavailable players is a sign of considerable strength, but now the Rossoneri will have to face the most important test. Next Saturday there will be Milan - Juventus, a match that could decide a championship. The two teams will both arrive in excellent form: what can I say, may the best man win!
