Verona-Milanmatch valid for the 17th day of Serie Aended with a score of 0-1. A goal from Reijnders decided the match. With this result the Rossoneri rise to 26 points, temporarily overtaking Bologna in 7th place. Below are the votes for all the protagonists of the match.
Verona's report cards
Lorenzo MONTIPO’ 6 – Not guilty of the goal conceded. For the rest, his is a careful game.
Pawel DAWIDOWICZ 6 – A definitely positive first half. A dangerous move by Jimenz ends well. The yellow card weighs more heavily on him than anything else. And Zanetti decides not to take the risk. Dal 46′ Flavius DANILIUC 5 – Enters and Verona loses some certainty behind. He is not tight enough on Fofana's inside ball for Reijnders. In short: perhaps it was better to take the risk of keeping Dawidowicz inside.
Diego COPPOLA 5.5 – He also doesn't find the right spacing on Fofana's through ball. In the end it's a bit of a contest of blame.
Daniele GHILARDI 6 – The promoted of the Verona defensive line. He contains Chukuweze's attempts well and in the end he doesn't even suffer much in one-on-one situations.
Jackson TCHATCHOUA 6 – Risked a penalty foul in the first half, with a slightly wide arm. But beyond this episode, in the end it wasn't a bad match.
REDA BELAHYANE 5,5 – He loses a few too many balls in the middle, playing a game that is a little too imprecise for his good technical qualities. From 80' Casper TENGSTEDT – sv.
Onderj DOUBT 6.5 – Dabs almost everywhere. An extra man in the Verona midfield, who ended up finishing very well this evening. Really a nice duel with Reijnders.
Darko LAZOVIC 5,5 – He is never dangerous against Emerson Royal, a client who is not particularly confident in this period. He tries here and there, but with little consistency and even less final result. Dal 73' Daniel MOSQUERA 5 – He misses a very simple control in the area at the end: it would have been a great opportunity for Verona.
Tomas SUSLOV 6,5 – One of those who tries harder than Verona, trying some good shots from outside and some interesting passes inside.
Grigoris Kastanos 5.5 – In the middle of the pitch he plays generously, but from the point of view of the offensive proposal his performance is poor and imprecise. Dal 60' Suat SERDAR 6 – A decent half hour in a midfield in which Verona looked for the right play without ever finding it.
Amin SARR 5 – Few, very few playable balls in his first half. He is late on that ball rejected by Maignan after Suslov's shot which, evidently, he has little faith in. Dal 46' Rocha LIVRAMENTO 5 – The music doesn't change much after he enters the field. In fact, it doesn't change at all.
Coach Paolo ZANETTI 5.5 – His Verona started better than Milan and probably also played a better first half than the Rossoneri. The 'Inzaghi-style' move to remove Dawidowicz because he has been booked is perhaps excessively prudent; the team in fact returns to the field and is less precise in distances. A detail that ultimately costs him dearly.
Milan's report cards
Mike MAIGNAN 6 – An evening of ordinary administration.
EMERSON ROYAL 6 – He doesn't push particularly hard, but he doesn't make mistakes at the back either. Thus he limits himself more to the defensive task than anything else. And for Milan, all things considered, this evening, that's fine too. Dall'88' Fikayo TOMORI – sv.
Matteo GABBIA 6 – He leads the department well on an evening in which first Sarr and then Livramento do not appear to be particularly uncomfortable customers.
Malick THIAW 6 – Together with Gabbia, they confirm themselves as a certainly reliable central duo. However, the same thing applies to his teammate: neither Sarr nor Livramento are exactly enjoying an evening of glory.
Alejandro JIMENEZ 6.5 – In the end, the much-discussed boy who took the place of the initially purged Theo is among Milan's best. He plays with personality, trying – when he has the chance – to beat the man.
Youssouf FOFANA 7 – He takes a couple of beatings in the first half, but doesn't lose heart. On the contrary. In the second half it is from his left foot that a Kaka-like through ball comes out. Remarkable, indeed.
Filippo TERRACCIANO 6 – Fonseca puts him there in the middle of the pitch, in a role that isn't his. The boy plays a decent match and in the first half he is also Milan's most dangerous with a great right-footed shot from outside. Nothing sensational in the end, net of everything, but not insufficient either.
Samuel CHUKUWUEZE 5 – Predictable, in his constant and redundant attempt to return towards the center of the pitch. His lost ball also gave Verona the best opportunity of the first half. Bad. From the 70th minute Davide CALABRIA 6 – He takes his place in a final in which Milan aims to seal the three points. He doesn't make mistakes.
Tijani REIJNDERS 7 – He confirms himself as Milan's extra man at this moment of the season. His insertion caught by Fofana was perfect as was the subsequent conclusion from the first. In short, the Dutchman is one of Fonseca's few certainties in this complicated period. Eight goals for the season (in all competitions): already double last year.
Rafael LEAO 5.5 – In the cold of Verona Leao remains frozen for half an hour, where he sees few things and does even less. Then he feels the flexor being pulled and raises the white flag. Another rather colorless seasonal performance. Not the first. Dal 32′ Theo HERNANDEZ 5 – He comes in cold, but not even the interval turns him on. What remains is a version that is not only faded, but even unrecognizable compared to the player he was until last season.
Tammy ABRAHAM 5,5 – He also struggles up front in creating space or making the right play. Thus it ends up isolating itself a bit from the context. Bad match.
All. Paulo FONSECA 6 – This is a soup for his Milan. A first half at a very, very low pace. A recovery that took place thanks to the play of a couple of singles. The positive note for him is in the second consecutive clean sheet. But beyond this and the three points, 'this' Milan type doesn't seem like a team capable of climbing back up to the Champions League zone.
