Gattuso's bench is shaking more and more, Di Francesco's is consolidating. On the Italian boxing day, Milan sticks again, without being able to go beyond the 0-0 draw against the modest Frosinone. Indeed, the Rossoneri must even thank Donnarumma, author of three great interventions. Without him, the Devil would have come back from the Ciociara away game with a defeat. For the moment, the club confirms its trust in Gattuso, who, barring sensational reversals, should also be on the bench against Spal. At this point, however, it's not said that a success against the Ferrarese is enough to save Ringhio's bench.
“We played a bad first half – admitted the Rossoneri coach – We gave it to our opponents: we didn't take the field, we lost all the tackles. Then we improved but I regret the first 45', which made me so nervous. We knew it would be difficult and it worked out well because we could have lost it. We have to assume our responsibilities, to get to the Champions League we can't play like this. We need to score and we are not precise. We got everything wrong that came. We don't cling to bad luck: you have to be cold and we weren't. When there's no tranquility and you haven't won for a long time, fear and the little tennis arm take over. We must all give something more”.
Quite different on Sunday at Roma, who comfortably beat Sassuolo 3-1 at the Olimpico. Goals from Perotti, Schick and Zaniolo decide. Useless, in the ninetieth, the goal scored by Babacar for the black and green flag.
