Finally Milan! The Rossoneri erased the defeat in Turin with a poker against Sampdoria, thus obtaining an important victory both for the standings and for morale. Montella's team, on the other hand, comes out very badly: the Airplane will still have to work a lot to avoid such embarrassments. In addition to the 3 points, Milan brings home several positive indications, at a tactical level but also for men. The 4-4-2 worked quite well: short, aggressive, concentrated and, finally, dangerous team. It can't be a coincidence that the best in the field were Niang and Bonaventura, the former moved to the center of the attack together with Bacca, the latter on the left wing with the license to concentrate.
Fullbacks and centre-forwards, here is the strength of the most classic game system in the world and, perhaps for this reason, too often underestimated. Let's be clear, the dull Samp seen yesterday made the task very easy for the Rossoneri, who dominated the pitch for the entire duration of the match, and the improvements will have to be verified over the long term, but in the meantime Mihajlovic's team has found a very specific tactical identity and this , given the latest performances, it is certainly good news. “We had to redeem the defeat against Juve and we succeeded – explained the Serbian coach. – The change of form has made us more dangerous in the offensive phase, playing in this way we can win against everyone. Now we have to continue on this path, between now and Christmas we want to maintain a high points average and not take steps backwards”.
From the outset it was understood that Milan could create many problems for Sampdoria. Montella's team was too slow and scared and so the Rossoneri, lined up by Mihajlovic with 4 offensive players (Cerci, Bacca, Niang and Bonaventura) immediately took over the field. In the 18th minute the goal was game-changing: a good play by Niang for Bonaventura and an easy tap-in resulting in a 1-0. The Frenchman was unleashed: shortly after he came close to 2-0 with a personal action and in the 38th minute he found it by converting a penalty obtained by Bonaventura. In fact, the game ends here. In fact, the second half turns into an exhibition with Milan, for the first time this season at San Siro, to give the show. In the 49th minute Viviano "gives" Niang the ball to make it 3-0, the Frenchman thanks and scores the first brace of his career with the Rossoneri shirt. Mihajlovic gives space to Poli, Honda and Luiz Adriano, the Brazilian is ready: first he nearly scores with a diagonal shot just wide, then he finds it with a turn on which Viviano can do nothing (79'). The only flaw of the match comes close to recovery: a foul by Poli on Eder and a penalty converted by the attacker himself (87'). Once again Donnarumma's goal was violated but it doesn't matter: Milan won and convinced, a combination on which few, on the eve, would have bet with conviction.
