Malick Thiaw has recently returned to the field. The German center-back, who had played a few minutes on Thursday in the Europa League, had a very negative performance against Monza, he made two key errors that allowed the Brianza team to take a two-goal lead.
Riccardo Trevisani, during "La Fontana di Trevi" on 'Cronache di Spogliatoio', specifically talked about the Rossoneri centre-back. Trevisani responds to a simple assertion from some fans. The best central defender for Milan remains Theo Hernandez. Here is the opinion of the commentator.
"I absolutely disagree. In my opinion, Kalulu and Tomori are better, and furthermore, I want to say today, after he has just had the worst game since arriving in Italy, Thiaw is a good player. But then players also need to be put in a position to do well: if you're surrounded by 10 ghosts, you can't build a wall alone."
He added:
"Of course, the intervention is not particularly smart, neither the first nor the second, when he gives away a penalty. Furthermore, someday they should explain at the level of physics and dynamics that if Thiaw puts his foot on the playing field, and the opponent jumps from the ground and hits him, normally in football it shouldn't be a penalty kick. Because the fault is not mine, for putting my foot on the ground, but yours for jumping and running into me. If you watch the replay, Thiaw doesn't touch the ball, nor does he touch the leg: he puts his foot on the ground and Dany Mota jumps and, hunched over, with his legs, crashes into Thiaw."
He continued to talk about Malick Thiaw:
"It wasn't smart because, having already committed a foul outside the box, it's clear that the referee is watching you. At that moment, if you don't go in, you do better. But it's Mota who jumps and hits him..."
