The criticisms of the last few days have been many and perhaps undeserved, even if the decline was seen by everyone, but yesterday in Rome, Pioli's Milan gave a good kick to any suspicion of crisis after the two defeats in a row in the league against Spezia and Inter and the two draws against the Red Star in the Europa League.
Il Corriere della Sera explains today that the Rossoneri have achieved a fundamental victory in the Champions League race.
With yesterday's three points, the Rossoneri also remain in the pursuit behind Inter and therefore does not give up the championship race, even if it will not be easy to recover the Nerazzurri who from now to the end of the season will only be involved in Serie A.
Against Roma, Pioli's team played an excellent first half in which the old Milan is seen again, aggressive and beautiful to see from the first league games.
The Rossoneri created many chances, but to take the lead they needed a penalty converted by Kessie (the foul on Calabria was very clear).
After several missed goals, however, the equaliser of Veretout arrived, but in the second half, the advantage came for AC Milan thanks to Rebic, who was undoubtedly one of the best on the pitch.
Unfortunately, however, Pioli returns to Milan even with some negative news and worries, namely the physical problems that forced Calhanoglu, Ibrahimovic and Rebic to leave the field early.
The hope is that it is not anything serious, but in the meantime Italian coach can be happy to have found his old Milan again.
