Juventus and Milan are ready for a meeting between them

After nine consecutive championships, Yuva finds itself 10 points away from first place, where Milan is, the one that has not lost 27 league games in a row, the one that was the last champion before that white-black streak. Here are four characters worth lingering over before one of the season games in Europe.

Used to be in the center (things)

There are few coaches whose character is at the center of a game, although there are quite a few stars around, on the grass itself. For the most part, the coaches in question, the ones the camera has to magnetize, who everyone has to deal with even before the opening whistle, have a rich resume like Jose Mourinho or Pep Guardiola rather than a coaching novice like Andrea Pirlo. But the game between Milan and Juventus has its own rules. Pirlo in focus.

For a decade, Pirlo played in Milan, rising to greatness. He played for Juventus for four more seasons, ending his European career with her, and now also coaching her. Pirlo was not supposed to be here. Towards the end of last season he was appointed coach of the team until the age of 23 and later, when Juventus did not list on the way to another championship, Maurizio Sari was fired and Pirlo immediately jumped to one of the most coveted positions in the world. Unlike Zinedine Zidane, who previously coached Real Madrid’s reserve team and was also an assistant coach, this is Pirlo’s first coaching job. In the meantime, they see that he lacks experience.

In the context of experience we talk, for example, about mental matters in the messages conveyed to the players, or about Pirlo’s attempts to make tactical changes that hurt the flow, but in addition to all this there is also a screaming absurdity associated with team building. The player Pirlo left Yuba more than five years ago and the team has not brought a good enough creative contact in his place to this day. From the link of Pirlo-Pogba-Vidal (plus Marquisio) in the last season of the player Pirlo, to the link of Bentencourt-Ravio-Macney in his first season as coach. Each of Yuba’s contexts has its own qualities, but none of them is a tremendous morality, certainly not close to what Pirlo was. It must be said to his credit.

The corona and the Turkish upheaval

If we conduct a survey regarding the year 2020 that ended last week, we will most likely receive negative reactions, then this is a year that has already become a symbol of tragedy. But for Milan’s Cannes Celhanolo it’s a wonderful year, at least when it comes to football.

The last game of the year is a representative sample. Hakan beat Lazio 2-3 with two assists and one goal and closed the year with involvement in 22 goals in the Italian league alone. It can be said that Cannes is the hottest player in Italy since the return of the Corona retreat a little less than a year ago, even one of the hottest in the world. The numbers are also so prominent that they can be compared to the previous year. In 2019, Cannes was involved in only 9 goals, even though he played about 400 more minutes.

Moreover, this is one of the biggest image revolutions in recent years. The Turkish midfielder was the most infamous figure by Milan fans. He came as a big promise from Leverkusen, a player with a tremendous kick, especially in stationary situations, and game vision that arranges situations for others, but the fall was quick and Cannes was on his way out. Until the corona arrived.

Injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not due to play tonight, and Rafael Lau or Ante Ravic will appear in the central striker position, but AC Milan’s main player in Zlatan’s absence is Hakan, the one behind the striker. After a bad 2019 and a huge 2020, a new year has come for her. In its first game, a win over Benevento, Cannes did not score or cook. Tonight comes the second game.

Almost 36 and continues to amaze

Cristiano Ronaldo came to Juventus to bring them the Champions League. The Italian league came to the old lady easily even without Ronaldo, but here, now she needs her biggest star first in the league, especially in the league’s top games, like the one we see today at San Siro. So while Juventus is not impressive from the start of the season, Ronaldo is actually having a great time.

Ronaldo has 15 games this season in a Juventus uniform in all competitions and has scored no less than 18 goals. In the last game, in which he scored a double for Udinese, he passed Pele in the total number of goals in his career and is currently preceded by only one, Josef Bitzan from the Czech Republic, who is a footballer from another era. And the interesting part is that Ronaldo is reaching incredible numbers this season even though he kicks less for goal, much less.

For many years now Ronaldo has been the player to kick the most goals in Europe’s top leagues, year after year. Even these days he is threatening the goalkeepers in front of him a lot, but his 4.8 kicks per game are not only a decrease of close to 20 percent from last season, but also his lowest number since he left Manchester United for Real Madrid. long ago.

Ronaldo, next month at 36, is still sharp. For Pirlo, he always plays as one of two strikers, alongside Paulo Dybala or Alvaro Murata. After at some point last season it seemed that the combination with Dybala is getting better, this season the connection with Murata, who scored 3 goals for Ronaldo, is better.

The Italian league has always been a tactical leader, and quite a few leading ideas in world football have developed in the boot country. Recently Italy symbolizes the return of the three-brake lineup to the center of the stage, with almost every team in the league playing, even if only occasionally, with a line-up of three defensive players. Such an array of course increases the offensive contribution of the defenders, but the best defender in Italy this season does not actually play in such an array, which further strengthens his offensive contribution. This shield is called Tau Hernandez.

With 4 goals and 3 assists, Hernandez is Milan’s third attacking contributor after Zlatan and Hakan. He also kicks the most to goal after those two and distributes the most key dedications after the Turk. Defensive, but tremendous offensive power. And as mentioned, unlike other defensive players who are at the top of the offensive numbers table, Hernandez is the only one who comes from a really back position. Milan coach Stefano Fioli made sure to create situations for him, and sometimes Hernandez can be seen as a player in the most offensive position on the team.

Theo’s brother, Lucas Hernandez, is the brake / defender of Bayern Munich and has already won the World Cup as a car player for the French national team. The 23-year-old Tau, who experts estimate is the more talented of the brothers, has yet to play for the national team. A good performance in a big game like this tonight can make room for Didier Deschamps as well.
