Milan, the victory of intelligence. Now we wait for the Milanese derby – Corriere.it

Milan doesn’t get scared when it sees Napoli

, but courage, he doesn’t break down, not even in front of the terrible 20 minutes of the start of the game. He holds up the Neapolitan siege by intelligently preparing the reaction, the one that takes him to the semifinals, waiting to meet the enemy, perhaps Inter who is playing everything tonight, present and future, an unforgettable night.

Like that of Milan which contemplates Giroud’s double entry. What is the Frenchman up to in the 20th minute? A crime. But how, he hadn’t missed a penalty for more than a decade, since September 2012: he understands that he has done it big and apologizes to everyone, to his teammates, to Pioli, hoping that his desperation will reach the hearts of the Rossoneri fans. also lucky: what happens to him in the 43rd minute? He wins forgiveness. He has the grace to share his life as a bomber with Leao who suddenly enters the dimension of the man on the run, those who leave and no longer take each other, to be clear at Verstappen in Formula 1, at Pogacar in cycling, two Phenomena, but also Leao of the same category, a champion, woe to Milan if he were to lose him in market operations, he must still enjoy it long.

The Portuguese fly, slips three opponents, not one, not two, but three and grants the popular pardon assist to Giroud, as if to tell him toh, big brother scores…. And he scores, kneeling and embracing his generous partner. A surprising fact in Napoli’s defensive action: is it ever possible that none of the three, Ndombele, Di Lorenzo and Rrahmani, would come up with the idea of ​​stopping the Portuguese fugitive with the bad guys (those yellow people who even willingly take on each other? It’s those fouls that teach football schools, it shouldn’t be done, but they are part of the course of study.
Professor Spalletti in the technical meeting will remind him with some annoyance to his distracted midfielders-defenders (very bad).

All that remains is to think about the Scudetto, there, around the corner, Maurizio Costanzo would have said (Osimhen’s goal has the strength of a viaticum towards happiness). Just as Inter are just around the corner from the semi-final to conquer, a 2-0 to protect, perhaps to enhance by entertaining the Nerazzurri at San Siro with a well-studied return match, just like that of Milan: an all-Italian semi-final, even a Milanese derby, a dream for Inter still to come true. Italian football, in a global withdrawal crisis, deserves an Italian finalist.
