The victory against Cagliari with some changes and Inter's defeat against Sassuolo accelerated the positive thoughts of the Milan environment. Now the derby seems finally forgotten.
But a victory against Cagliari has a different flavor. Yesterday's match revealed, once again, that Milan has a great group, united by a mentality of brotherhood, unity and a strong sense of belonging.
Rafa Leao effect for Milan, even from the bench...
He only played a few minutes yesterday, but it is as if he played from the start. The Portuguese encouraged his teammates right from the warm-up, cheered for Okafor's equalizer, urged Chuku to pick up the pace right after the equalizer, and finally cheered, once again, after Loftus Cheek's goal, which sealed the match.
At the final whistle, Leao also had a conversation with Adli, congratulating his partner.
Speaking of Adli, the pianist had received a special greeting from Bennacer before the match.
The Algerian is not having a good time because of his injury, but he did not give up rejoicing over the debut of his partner, who plays in the same position as him. At Milan, there is no unfair competition.
Those who were on the bench were very active and also gave support to their teammates on the pitch. It is a special spirit that will make a difference, especially in difficult times.
