AC Milan had a perfect start to the Serie A. Three victories in the first three games. The latest triumph was away from home against AS Roma at the Olimpico stadium. The goals were scored by Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao.
In Rome, Milan confirmed the immense potential that this renewed group under Pioli possesses: highly skilled technique widespread among the players from the waist up, physicality and intensity, tactical organization and harmony, the ability to control the game calmly or shift to top speed when needed.
Pioli himself noted, the most positive aspect among all these points is that the Rossoneri team continues to improve from game to game: there was an improvement against Torino compared to the Bologna match, and an even further improvement against Roma compared to the San Siro match. The hope is that, with time and improved understanding among the new players, Leao and his teammates will increasingly maximize their potential.
As per Milan News, what stood out yesterday in addition to the performances of Rafael Leao, Olivier Giroud, Theo Hernandez and Mike Maignan (who are the usual starters from last season at Milan) were once again the three new acquisitions starting as first choice players; we are talking about Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Tijjani Reijnders, and Christian Pulisic.
The Englishman, with his physicality, appears to easily dominate opponents in Serie A, the Dutchman is an inexhaustible engine and a technically proficient source, while Pulisic is a joy to watch with the ball and very intelligent in his movements and suggestions. All three have seamlessly integrated into Pioli's tactics, and it's inevitable to think that, along with the other 7 new arrivals, they can only improve further. Meanwhile, winning breeds more winning, and starting the season with three wins out of three is not bad at all.
