Milan continues to mature. The Rossoneri went out last night (Monday) for a not-so-simple away game for Cagliari, and came back with three points after 0: 2. Despite many staff shortages, Stefano Fioli’s team did the job again and maintained a three-point gap from Inter. Milan equaled the record for an unbeaten away game in the three-point era – 16 games, for the first time since 2003/04.
The star of the game was Zlatan Ibrahimovic who started in the league for the first time since the injury. The Swede scored both goals and became the first player in Milan to score 12 goals in the first eight games of the league, since Marco van Basten in 1992/93.
“It was a tough game, I didn’t play for 57 days,” he testified Ibrahimovic At the end. “Young players give me motivation, they challenge me to see who runs more. I do not give up and show that I can run like them.”
“We are progressing fine, we are almost in the middle of the season,” he continued. “Now the toughest challenge begins. It will be tough, but Mendzukic and Meita have arrived. Mario? I’m happy. Now we’ll have two that scare the opponents. Do I believe in the championship? I believe in Zlatan.”
Great victory! ❤️🖤 PD: The promise that salgo in this photo 🤣 pic.twitter.com/7LpNBZKF1E
