Milan, Thiaw and Jovic’s nightmare evening

Thiaw’s match poster is all in one number: ten. The wrong passes during Monza-Milan. A red-pencil match, insufficient, upon returning as a starter after Milan-Fiorentina at the end of November. The German, who returned to the pitch after about four months, had a negative impact on the first two goals for the red and whites. In the first he knocked out Dany Mota in the penalty foul, while in the second he was easily blasted by Colpani, who then did well to open the game towards a wild Mota. A moody match, without an alibi, with 4 on the scorecard, in a match where Thiaw revealed several difficulties, especially in the build-up phase, missing a couple of decisive supports in the finishing area.

Pioli was betrayed by two of his loyalists. Above all, Luka Jovic in the “tu quoque?” version, guilty of having received a red card for a naive slap given to Izzo in the second half. There is a Luka who starts and a Luka who starts from the bench. The latter stings, scratches, marks. A solver with three decisive goals and three comebacks (Salernitana, Udinese and Frosinone). The first, however, did not live up to the reputation of “spare bomber” built in the last two months. He created a good opportunity on the half hour mark, dishing a nice pass to Bennacer, but then left the team with ten men due to naivety. The good thing is that Milan had even regained the result with Giroud and Pulisic, but in the end they gave up when faced with two right hooks from Bondo and Colombo, the former player of the day. The striker owned by Milan did not celebrate.

Pioli appeared in the press room to take “all the responsibility in the world”, as he told the reporters present. When they asked him about Thiaw he responded dryly, saying he hadn’t exposed him: “he was fine and could play from the start.” Point. End. The German returned to the field against Rennes after four months of absence, then started the first match. His was the worst evening since he wore the Rossoneri shirt. A completely different thing from last year, when he was called into action against Tottenham and responded brilliantly with a giant performance. He will make up for it. Jovic, however, betrayed expectations. The last time he had started in the league before yesterday he had scored a goal against Frosinone. For him too it was an evening to forget. Gabbia, after the match, took his defense: “He must stay calm, the important thing is that he understands that he made a mistake.” Then he will be able to score again.
