Milan-Bologna 3-1 goals Orsolini, gimenez brace and Pulisic network

Rossoneri smoke comes out from the chimney of the meazza. Very abundant smoke. The first vote indicates the name of Milan, even if the one that will really count will be that of next Wednesday. Colors that could be confirmed as well as changing shades, because the match tonight told – beyond the result – something foreseeable: this Italian Cup does not have a master in the pectore, in Rome it will be able to end up in any way. Meanwhile, however, the championship match gives confirmations and disappointments with massive modalities. AC Milan lines-including cup derby-four consecutive victories (never happened this year) and confirms the great agreement with 3-4-3, which so far has given five wins in six games with only three goals taken. For the European championship ambitions it is probably too late, but in view of Wednesday the self -esteem scars several notches. Bologna badly loses one of the three appointments for the Champions League sprint and wonders what has not been working for a few weeks now: only a victory in the last six championship and two points in the last three. Too little to guarantee fourth place.

the choices

–

Conceiçao did not disguise himself as it could be reasonable to think, if anything the opposite: these have in my head and with these I also play the first round. Sergio did (almost) all-in squeezing all the squeezable from those who will presumably be on the field on Wednesday. The only two innovations, in fact, were obliged: Loftus-Cheek instead of the accofa Fofana and Joao Felix instead of the disqualified Leao. In front, despite the opacity of Genoa, Jovic was preferred to Gimenez. Italian preferred to leave to work at home Ndoye and Holm, and to Rome, he also plans to get back Odgaard but, beyond the absentees, he presented a Bologna where the theorists who are owners at the Olimpico – Skorupski aside – were only three: Beukema, Freuler and Orsolini. For this time, attack entrusted to DalLLIGA with Orsolini and Dominguez on the sides, Moro, Freuler and the former Pobega in the median.

the moves

It was a first half of the first half, but not so much in a tactical key. As for a sort of energy saving mode by both, as if the final were the day after tomorrow and not in five days. Lamps of balls scattered here and there, two boxers who sink a shot and then take five steps back. Better Bologna in the ball and in the flow of game, more fluid, a maneuver that most of the time involves the whole team. Better Milan in some individuality and in verticalizations, a house specialties which, when they succeed, are potentially devastating. Conceiçao and Italian have experienced some tactical variations, but when there is no continuity in intensity it becomes difficult. On the one hand Pulisic and Joao Felix have exchanged the band several times, with the Portuguese to embrace all the offensive horizon: a couple of tear of the high school, then walked towards the dark side of the moon. Even Loftus-Cheek and Reijnders have frequently exchanged the location, without however decomposing much Moro and Pobega. Italian this time has mostly designed a fairly evident 4-3-3, which only at times became the usual 4-2-3-1: behind from the hologram version like Jovic throughout the first half (and this tells a lot of management of both teams), Pobega and Freuler alternated. Occasions? Of those big ones, one on the side: right of Pulisic with a safe failure walled from a miracle of Lykogiannis (17 ‘) and left in the curve of Orsolini (44’) wonderfully only in the center of the area. Descending level, an insidious right of Joao Felix and one of Dominguez. Coaches united by the same fate in defense: Conceiçao lost Tomori after a quarter of an hour (blow to the head), Italian lost Erlic at half an hour (ankle).

Super “saints” and “chuk” the bear’s paw

The script changed four minutes after the interval. The launch of De Silvestri for the bank – excellent – Dalllyga on Orsolini’s race, who freed himself from Pavlovic and slipped the corner far away. A sentence, when it is put in those conditions. Three changes by side: first Aebischer, Cambiaghi and Castro, then Gimenez, Walker and Chukwueze. Consequences: Bologna has alazed the center of gravity, Milan has rewinded even more to the restarts and packed the winning ones. The first (73 ‘) finding the rossoblùs very uncovered and with a malmitted defensive line (lucumi out axis) in which Chukwueze, Pulisic and Gimenez slipped. Two steps from left to right and the Mexican ball under the legs of Skorupski. The second (79 ‘) born again from an initiative of Chukwueze, still lent to the left: support for Joao Felix, a shot damped by Beukema and the winning insertion of Pulisic, good at reading the path of the ball. Between the two goals, another canceled in Gimenez, who then closed the match by sanctifying the umpteenth sbarma of Chukwueze: “Saints” is a candidate (very) seriously for Rome, the ballot is open.
