Milan, 20 December 2024 – It mattered above all WIN. And the heavy victory has arrived. In a climate that remains equally heavy. Milan moves on to Bentegodi and, despite also remaining outside of minor Europe (with a match to recover), he enjoys a Reijnders increasingly decisive: eighth goal of the season, on Fofana's third assist.
For the rest, anger that continues off the pitch. Translated: dispute. Chants in line with those on Sunday, during the match. From “this company doesn't deserve us” to “get your asses out”, passing through “Cardinal, you have to sell”. Red Bird itself, in the late afternoon, had announced a new agreement with Elliot: 170 million paid and financing that will be closed in July 2028 (and not August 2025).
On the pitch, however, mostly plasters: in addition to the nine absent, they were added to the half hour mark Leao's injury. Resentment to the flexor for the Portuguese who, up until then, had been among the best: flashes and, above all, a lot of movement even outside his area of competence. Terracciano in midfield is the latest addition, also forced by the many shortcomings from the waist up.
The Devil doesn't shine, he spins the ball but without making it sing. He bites little, too little initially. A “phone call” from Chukwueze, who then also launches the yellow-blue Suslov who stops only in the presence of captain Maignan. A slap from Terracciano, right in his Verona, touched for a corner by Montipò.
Bitter tea. But the recovery opens with a bang. Breath, so far the usual dam albeit with some annoyance caused by the “mosquito” Suslov, a new one was inventeda ball vertically that smells like magic. And it's not the first time. Reijnders (the most advanced player) takes care of the rest and makes it increasingly clear that that renewal (with doubled salary) is more than deserved. Movement, hook, strike: 1-0.
The rest is management, not without suffering. What you need, in a bad moment. The rumors about the increase in the percentages of Allegri's return subside for a while. On the other side of the scale there are three heavy points. For everything else, there will be time. Meanwhile, Fonseca seems to be taking Milan back. Once again. And despite the plasters.
