with the Monza it’s a punishment. Milan, Pioli creates problems in Bologna – Corriere.it

Inzaghi’s Inter will take care of it to liven up the day: two dull draws from Bologna-Milan and Naples-Verona, instead of taking advantage of Milan’s slow progress, which has come to terms with its internal revolution, Inter crashes at home against Monza. A sentence for the nerazzurri the brianzola team. But the greatest punishment to see this Inter play, cursed in the league, 11 defeats, blessed in the Champions League, especially with Porto and Benfica (watch out for the unfinished quarter-final operation).

Slow as a Ferrari (crejected even by Lapo Elkann), therefore predictable, distracted in defense, the museum of horrors in attack, well highlighted by the presence of Correa, rightly booed by the San Siro crowd and applauded by Inzaghi who consoles his worst signing (the good deed of the Nerazzurri coach is due). What to do? Three days to react, to defend on Wednesday the precious booty collected in Lisbon against Benfica: there is an all-Italian semi-final to conquer. To which Naples and Milan look with obvious interest.

Pioli exaggerated with the maxi turnover, a poorly thought out revolution that ended with a skimpy point in Bologna which, thanks to Inter’s defeat, think about you, becomes an extension: changing 10 out of 11 men means creating problems for yourself, certainly not solving them. Especially against Bologna these days, made by Thiago Motta more shrewd, deserving of more attention and respect.

But the Champions League, in its two formulas, the one played and reached the quarterfinals and the one targeted with still two seats available (Naples and Lazio are in place, nice and comfortable) to condition the games. For this the approach that Pioli has given to the confrontation with Bologna appears to be lacking, s plan B didn’t work. But Pioli, a sincere man and a highly skilled technician, has already understood the lesson.

Spalletti’s turnover is more reasonablefirst because Napoli are largely at the top of the standings, so they don’t need points, if anything, it is in their interest to rationally manage an enormous advantage in the name of a dream so close to coming true, the Scudetto, and then that of showing up healthy for the challenge of Tuesday with Milan, when I will try to comeback. And speaking of health and comeback, Osimhen, the special observer, pampered and protected by Spalletti, showed in a few minutes against Verona that he moves well, that the goal is always in his head and that only one traversa could deny it to him. A certain fact: the Champions League finds a star again.
