Milan, if you're there hit a beat. After the missteps in Empoli and Cesena, the Rossoneri are back on the pitch against Chievo, and in their own stadium (at 20.45pm). Impossible to patch again, otherwise a crisis dossier on Pippo Inzaghi's group should be officially opened. “I'm happy to return to San Siro, we need our fans – explained the coach at the press conference. – The match is difficult, let's not forget that Chievo won in Naples but I'm serene. We will do our full duty." Needless to go around it, the Rossoneri have only one result available. Much has been said about Milan after the first two league games, so much so as to convince public opinion that it would have been possible to fight for the top positions in the standings.
Then came the defeat against Juventus and, above all, the double draw in the province against Empoli and Cesena. Contradictory results just like the team's performance: excellent in the offensive phase, decidedly bad in the defensive one. “Corini said that we play good football and this gratifies me – the thought of Inzaghi. – Juventus and Roma apart from us we are there in the big group. The ambition to return soon to fight for the Scudetto is there, but patience is needed. I have faith, the work will pay off, we will return to past levels, thus making the company proud". From tonight we will see whether or not there have been improvements, especially with regard to the defensive phase. This has been the "black face" of Milan so far, forced to count 9 goals conceded in just 5 days.
General problem, son of tactical and individual mistakes. “Not conceding goals is always fundamental but playing offensively it will be difficult to see 0-0 draws – continued Superpippo. – The ones we have taken in the last few games have been strange, it is clear that we have to improve. In any case, I want to entertain the public, obviously winning…”. In short, there is no doubt about the attacking nature that Inzaghi wants to give to his Milan, and in fact this evening too we will see a front-wheel drive formation. "I have no tactical doubts, four offensive players will play" admitted the coach, whose thoughts are mostly aimed at the men to be deployed. Menez is called up but he's not doing well, that's why he could go on the bench thanks to El Shaarawy, who has been sidelined in the last few games. “I respect him and the environment loves him too – glossed over Inzaghi. – But I have 7 forwards, 4 play and 3 are on the bench. I always decide for the good of the team." If Pharaoh plays, a return to 4-3-3 is probable, with Bonaventura a possible surprise in midfield in place of Muntari. Sure of a jersey instead Fernando Torres, regardless of the system chosen. In fact, more than the numbers it will count to win. And Inzaghi knows this very well.
