The Portuguese striker scores after 17 ‘, the Rossoneri fail to react until the 92nd minute
The Milan it takes a patch when the ninetieth past two minutes e Udinese, with the newcomer Gabriele on the bench Cioffi
, caresses the victory of the turning point. Once again the Devil has to thank Ibrahimovic, his totem, made of marble until the last assault, but capable of bringing out a ballistic feat in the Silvestri area, a semi overturned after a touch by the young Maldini.
Seventh goal for Zlatan, 300 in the top five leagues, always on the road, proof of his strong personality. Equal is half a misstep because on Sunday evening Inter with Cagliari could overtake the Rossoneri and Napoli, beating Empoli, grabbing them before the face to face at San Siro next Sunday.
But, at the same time, almost a grace compared to what Milan (not) shows. The Devil is no longer there, slow, fast, distracted. Even emptied. A tired team, which has suddenly lost its characteristics: the intensity, the rapidity in transitions, the thrust on the wings, the quality of the dribble. More than an alarm bell. Udinese was supposed to be an opportunity to restart after the European disappointment and instead confirms the inconveniences (only two victories in the last six Serie A matches).
Even the coach’s choices are not convincing: with Bakayoko and Bennacer on the midline, Milan gives away a half. The revolution in the interval, with three changes, works up to a certain point. Just think that Silvestri, the Udinese goalkeeper, leaves the pitch without a save. The convulsive ending: a fallaccio from Success on Maignan, while the goalkeeper is about to postpone, causes a giant brawl sedated with the expulsion of the Friulian attacker. But the Devil does not have time to exploit numerical superiority.
The same leaves regrets in the new Udinese, different in spirit and in the ability to suffer. AC Milan, on the other hand, is an empty shell. So after Beto’s goal, favored precisely by a wrong pass by Bennacer and a sleep by Bakayoko, the reaction is slow to arrive. AC Milan’s first chance in the 43rd minute but Diaz’s shot from inside the wrong area. Theo scores almost at half-time but offside.
In the recovery Pioli immediately adopted shock therapy by changing three players, especially the two central midfielders, including the owners Kessie and Tonali and also Messias for the off Krunic. AC Milan more orderly, but does not breach the heart of the Friulian defense. Indeed, the opportunity improves and happens again to Beto, seven minutes from the ninetieth, but the Portuguese, after having defended the ball well, wastes in front of Maignan. A mistake that the Devil exploits with Ibra. A point that serves to restart after the European slap. But much more is needed for the Scudetto.
