Milan is there! This is the message that comes from the "Friuli" stadium in Udine, where the Rossoneri managed to win a match that seemed irretrievably lost. Three points as heavy as boulders, which gave a jolt to a championship that, at a certain point, seemed to be dying. If Milan had lost against Udinese, Juventus would have found themselves at the top of the table with two games to recover, with the concrete possibility of going to +7. In short, we would have found ourselves writing an epitaph on the 2011/2012 Serie A and instead, just when we were about to do it, here we are to exalt the victory of a highly pirated Milan. St
We usually analyze matches beyond the result, but this time we have to change our scale of values. In fact, in sport, there are moments when winning is worth double, and the Rossoneri's victory in Udine is one of these. Jailbirds have been Maxi Lopez e El Shaarawy, capable of overturning a script that seemed obvious, just like in the most compelling thrillers. Although the match goal was signed by the "Pharaoh", the cover rightfully belongs to Maxi Lopez, capable, once he entered the field, of splitting the match in two. Up until his entry, Milan gave the impression of being a sacrificial victim in the presence of Udinese, who were solely to blame (but many credits go to Amelia) of not making the most of Totò Di Natale's advantage. And so, at the first real opportunity, Maxi Lopez gave way to the Rossoneri's comeback: first a robbery goal, then the winning assist to El Shaarawy.
Plays that allowed Milan to win a very important match, as admitted by Adriano Galliani: "This victory is similar to last year's Cagliari, it's a victory that changed the mood of the fans, but not only that, we're very happy. With 15 minutes to go we were third in the standings, but this blow in the final takes us to more than 6, plus 7 with the direct match compared to Udinese. Even first place in the standings is important now, let's see what Juventus will do but the championship is long…”. Allegri also followed the same line, who at one point seemed on the verge of the abyss: “We were worried given the latest results, but we had to do well against Udinese. Our spirit made the difference. I don't know if it was a decisive victory, but it is certainly important. Now we are first and we have to wait for Juventus".
In all this, Ibrahimovic's absence has taken a back seat, in the first of the three (at least for now) matches of disqualification. Thanks to Maxi Lopez, who arrived at Milan almost by chance, or at least as a second choice after Tevez. Since yesterday, the Argentine has carved out an important role for himself in the team, which could change hierarchies. Thanks to him, Juventus and Arsenal are a little less scary!
