Four goals against Monza and three against Rennes. Seven goals conceded in two games, Milan is without a shield against 'enemy fire'.
Milan no longer knows how to defend itself, so writes La Gazzetta dello Sport in today's edition.
And as if that weren't enough, on Sunday Atalanta arrives at San Siro, a team that has already sunk Milan twice this year and can't wait to do it again.
This is one more concern for Stefano Pioli, who will have to pay close attention to a player he has never been able to handle: Charles De Ketelaere. The Belgian, despite what he showed last year at Milan, has become an unstoppable goalscorer at Atalanta, and if he were to find this unacceptable defense in front of him, he would hardly forgive.
Something needs to be done and fairly quickly, because Milan away from home has the fourth-worst defense in the league, conceding a whopping 24 goals.
A different story at San Siro where only 7 goals have been conceded, a colossal and inexplicable difference. Soon Tomori and Kalulu will return, the unforgettable defensive duo that led to the Scudetto in 2022, and we will see if the problems are individual or if the whole system is not working.
