Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a champion and it is normal that his numbers are always high. Nobody asks the rest of the Rossoneri club to keep up with the Swede, but the current distance is really too big.
This is the ranking of the goals scored in Serie A by the Milan attack:
Ibrahimovic: 14
Leao: 5
Rebic: 4
Saelemaekers: 2
Diaz: 1
Castillejo: 1
Calhanoglu: 1
Mandzukic: 0
Behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic, there is an evident and worrying void. Leaving aside Mandzukic, who recently joined the Rossoneri, the three goals just scored by the right-wing couple Saelemaekers-Castillejo.
The end-product released by the attacking midfielders is certainly no better: a goal each for Calhanoglu and Brahim Diaz.
In short, the Rossoneri's offensive department, Ibrahimovic aside, is shy. Yet, Pioli's game brings many men into the area, produces many opportunities and continuous dangers for the opponents.
A pinch of bad luck mixed with imprecision prevented Calha and associates from replenishing the Ibrahimovic score.
However, the difference with the striker Zlatan is too obvious to not to be analysed at least.
The season has officially entered the "hot zone", now we need to raise the standards and the level of performance, even under goal, as pointed out by Milannews.it.
