As described by Il Corriere della Sera: It’s the same old Milan against Cagliari.
Conceição has work to do.
A step back compared to the Supercoppa success. Morata scores, Abraham fails to convert some important chances, and the coach reacts to the overall performance of his team: "I’m angry."
The boost from the Supercoppa win does not erase the protests from the Curva Sud against Gerry Cardinale, nor does it magically fix the problems the Rossoneri showed under ex Rossoneri coach Paulo Fonseca during the first half of the season.
The modest 1-1 draw against Cagliari, third-to-last in the standings, is a cold dagger to the hearts of Milan fans.
The supporters began the evening celebrating the victory in Saudi Arabia, with the trophy proudly displayed by Davide Calabria and Theo Hernandez, and ended it by booing the team.
Conceição’s debut was disappointing, with the same old mistakes on display. Milan is lacking in many areas, but above all, they are missing a ruthless striker in the box.
Abraham wasted two glaring opportunities. One can’t help but think that with the old Giroud, the Diavolo would have secured the win. The draw feels like a defeat: just six points in the last five matches.
