For the bianconeri still an equal unparalleled equal in the game and tactical identity

5 October – 23:58 – MILAN

A strange point, without goals, who, at first glance, even seems beautiful to those who gave birth to him. Beautiful for Juve, who has slowed down a Milan launched by 4 consecutive victories, has joined Inter and will pass the parking of the national teams in high areas, still unbeaten, as only the Atalanta. Beautiful for Allegri who obtained another test of solidity from his Milan who reached 4 Clean-Sheet in 6 games, as hadn’t happened since 2006-07. After folding Napoli, he climbed the Stadium trap, remaining only 2 points from the summit.

But, to look at it better, it is actually a point that must disconnect both. Juve lined up the fifth melancholy draw, without having shown improvements in the game and tactical identity. Like with Villarreal, a goal devoured by David, still preferred to Vlahovic and, without the light of Yildiz, creativity under the minimum union. Once again the best was Conceiçao, replaced too early. Let’s call it Thiago Tudor: little game, few certainties, many draws, 8 different formations out of 8, questionable replacements. Juve has not won from 13 September. What changed from Motta? Nothing. For this reason, in the end the Stadium whistled. But Allegri also has to complain, precisely because he has played better and created more. A penalty wasted by Pulisic (5th error in the last 7), 2 occasions devoured by Leao, who entered very badly. The boy, among slowness of recovery and adaptability to the role, can become a problem. Gimenez, growing, would have deserved more minutes and, at the moment, does not deserve to make aside, even for the work that Smazza and that Leao will never give off. Once again the best was Modric who triggered the wasted penalty and freed Leo in front of Di Gregorio, as well as all the great work, even without the ball. Tudor, with a poetic touch, had hoped that his friend would make “Cag …”. Instead Luka was brightly constipated.

David Recidivo

First time soporific that, in comparison, chamomile is an exciting. Low blocks, not even the shadow of a pressing, slow dribble in the face of defenses lined up. Under these conditions, it is difficult to expect the spark of an emotion. AC Milan lives on Modric’s geometries who placed its office between the two defensive plants to escape the marking of McKennie. The second play is offensive, Pulisic, who leaves Gimenez in attack, and moves to look for the ball between the lines. In Fofana and Rabiot the task of connecting the two creative poles. Tudor, instead of keeping the two midfielders close to David, borders them on the extreme bands, to broaden the field (it is often 4-3-3). The move has a sense especially on the right where, over time, a showy misery takes shape: every time the little one Conceiçao points the young Bartesaghi, who has long and cumbersome legs, goes away. But errors are needed to shake the waters. See the ball lost by Conceiçao who sends Pulisic on the counterattack and the suicide passage of Saelemaekers who sends Kalulu shooting. We have to wait for the 32 ‘for a half shiver: Gimenez cuts the field diagonally, from the left, with beautiful conduction, and crosses the diagonal on the Gregory gloves. Juve replies two minutes later: beautiful imbucata of Locatelli for Kalulu who crosses low. David could hit the center of the area, but slips on the support foot and strama with a circus effect. The frame, combined with that of the goal devoured with Villarreal, does not make him honor. Better Gimenez who at 43 ‘takes a cross by Pavlovic, slipped to the left, as he happily did against Napoli. That’s all. First corner in the 46th minute, to say the heat of attacks.

Devil waste

But the second half seems to immediately want to deny the first. Maxi-Jocal Juve in 3 ‘: on corner action, Gatti finds himself two meters from Maignan. After the overturning of Vila-Real, he took taste of us. Safe Botta acrobatic turn, but the French goalkeeper opposes an instinctive miracle. At 6 ‘Modric explains why his feet are as a golden ball: he makes the ball fall in front of Gimenez who is running, close between two defenders. Kelly gets it, penalty that Pulisic wasted unfortunately. Milan has grown and now controls the game. Allegri tries to support its growth with Leao instead of a good Gimenez and with the strong legs of Loftus-Cheek (Fofana). Tudor’s response at 24 ‘is more questionable: 3-5-2 that costs the sacrifice of Yildiz and Conceiçao, the best. It is true that the prince has done little, but it can always rub the lamp at any moment. The devil legitimizes the superiority with a macro ball goal at 28 ‘: Pulisic fishing Leao all only behind the black and white defense, with a good clove of empty door in front, but Rafa wastes at David. The Portuguese would have the opportunity to redeem himself at the 45th minute on another magic parable of Modric, but the tenderness of the conclusion makes Gregorio happy. For this reason, while the bianconeri come out among the whistles, the Rossoneri cannot walk towards the shower with a full smile. There was a way to pass the stop there at the top, next to Naples and Rome.
