The defeat against Spezia has brought everyone back to planet earth. (READ OUR MATCH ANALYSIS) Inter's victory interrupted a record that lasted throughout the first round. Now, Milan are no longer first in the standings. But, maybe that could be a good thing.
TEN DECISIVE DAYS - The Rossoneri will face the double Europa League match against Red Star, Inter and Roma in just ten days. Ten decisive days. Ten days that will tell if Milan is still the team seen throughout the first round. There is a positive fact: for these four fundamental matches, Pioli finds practically the whole squad. Ante Rebic should be disposed of his injury for the derby.
SPEZIA UNDERRATED - Milan have underestimated Spezia. There are no doubts, as confirmed by Alessio Romagnoli after the match (READ THE INTERVIEW OF ROMAGNOLI) Milan collected the goals from two players who had hardly ever scored in Serie A: Maggiore and Bastoni. Another fact that highlights how Milan underestimated the game.
IN BELGRADE WITH MANDZUKIC THEN THE DERBY - The derby will not have to be subverted. Now the mind will definitely go to Belgrade where Milan will face Stankovic's Red Star for the round of 32 of the Europa League. Pioli in view of the derby will make a bit of turnover: we will see Mandzukic from the first minute. Then there will be the derby. With a win everything would change. Once again. the team would like to win the derby again, thus win two out of two times against Inter in the league. Getting out of the derby with a victory would mean having the direct clashes in favour and would mean regaining the first place.
