Carlo Pellegatti, a journalist, shared his thoughts on his YouTube channel after AC Milan's 1-1 draw against Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium:
"Let's say it was disappointing. In fact, I feel like saying it was bad. Milan dropped two points, but when I say they dropped two points, it's because they had done the hard part. From the end of the first half onwards, they tested the Sassuolo goalkeeper more consistently and had also managed to dominate the start of the second half, which was capped off by Rabiot's fine goal. Diego Moreira did well to produce a good shot, but at a certain point, he disappeared from the game. Chukwueze was rarely involved in this 4-4-2 formation. I don't know whether Amorim should be held responsible for that. Besides his goal, Rabiot had a few attempts, but you could also tell that he had only arrived on Friday and had just one training session under his belt."
"Modric brought some ideas, but when you start seeing Gonçalo Ramos disappear from the game after two actions in the second half, while Chukwueze barely makes an appearance, there are concerns. Playing Musah as the central midfielder responsible for dictating play is embarrassing. He is sometimes good at running, and he carried the ball forward two or three times in very dangerous situations, but as soon as Modric came on, you could already see something different. Milan therefore draw, but the performance leaves us with plenty of doubts because we saw so many players fade out of the game. I'll need some time to think about it, because this is a Milan side that has given us positive impressions when playing well. However, when you think about this match, it really does make you question the overall quality of the squad."
