In the most important month of the season, Milan is collapsing and Pioli is under pressure since his strategies aren’t working.
AC Milan faced a challenging battle against relegation-placed Sassuolo, resulting in a 3-3 draw that left many questioning the team’s performance and resilience. Despite salvaging a point, Milan’s struggles were evident throughout the match, highlighting areas of concern for the team.
Goalkeeper Marco Sportiello’s concession of three goals has sparked doubts about his ability to serve as a reliable backup to Mike Maignan in future fixtures. The defensive line, particularly Malick Thiaw, has shown signs of decline since his return from injury, further exacerbating Milan’s defensive vulnerabilities.
The atmosphere within the team appears subdued, with little optimism surrounding their upcoming fixture against AS Roma.
Sassuolo took an early lead with Andrea Pinamonti’s goal just four minutes into the game, leaving Milan stunned. Armand Lauriente extended Sassuolo’s lead to 2-0 after only ten minutes, compounding Milan’s woes.
However, Milan fought back, with Rafael Leao’s sensational solo effort breaking through Sassuolo’s defense and finding the back of the net, narrowing the deficit. Despite Leao’s goal offering a glimmer of hope, Milan’s overall performance fell short of expectations, leaving fans and pundits alike questioning the team’s capabilities moving forward.
With the AS Roma return leg looming, Milan must address their defensive frailties and regroup to face the challenges ahead.
Stay tuned for further updates on Milan’s journey and their quest for redemption in future matches.
