Goals from Messias and Giroud silenced the 60,000 of the Velodrome. Rossoneri okay from all points of view: legs, head and tactics. After eight months, Kjaer meets again
Milan are no longer afraid even of ghosts. Marseille invited him for the most fascinating friendly match of his summer and on the sidelines they made him find Basile Boli, the man of 1-0 in the 1993 Champions League final. Understandable but… not a welcome gift. This new Milan has passed beyond the bad memory and has paid homage to all of Marseille with a great match. Final result: 2-0, goals from Messias and Giroud in the first half. Enough to broaden the smile less than two weeks before the start of the championship: Pioli is ready.
Balance
–
The best news for the AC Milan fans is safety. The summer did not evaporate the automatisms of the Scudetto and Milan dribbles safely, minimizes losses, attacks when they can and creates offensive situations. Perhaps the best were Messias – a goal and an assist -, Giroud and Theo Hernandez but this is right: what counts are the mechanisms repeated by heart, the clear feeling of seeing a team, not eleven strong players. Charles De Ketelaere, who cannot fail to connect to Bruges to see some images, can arrive calmly. The pressure will not be lacking but this team does not need a savior of the homeland.
Goals and …
–
The match report is closely linked to the goals that, between minute 11 and minute 28, sent her, thanks to a very disappointing Marseille. Messias evening man, who looks to August with the air of someone who wants to add a new twist to the book of his life, already quite sensational. In the action of the first goal, he closed a diagonal Theo-Rebic-Brahim play with a left in the crossing area. For the 2-0, he cut Kolasinac out with a stop in the chest and opened the door to Giroud, who from the spot did what the numbers 9 do: flat in the corner. In addition to these episodes, a little. A missed goal – indeed, eaten – by Diaz shortly after the 2-0 in the first half. In the second, a great winger by Payet that led to an opportunity for Klauss, a save from Maignan on Milik, the expulsion of Isaak Touré with about ten minutes to go and some final chances. These: a double chance with Lazetic one step away from the trio, a shot by Gabbia deflected for a corner and a dangerous header by Kjaer.
Kjaer comes back
–
Here, Kjaer. Simon’s return is the other big news of the evening. The Dane played a quarter of an hour, eight months (almost) exactly after the injury at Genoa-Milan and the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate of the left knee. Level 1 of the video game: low difficulty. But nice to see him on the pitch. Above all, it is essential to have him since August for the rotations in defense, the choice of the market on the central and the hypothesis of a three-man defense. Simon had a red sash on his left arm: captain.
