Lost it? Milan lost last night (Sunday) 1-0 to Napoli at San Siro and are already 9 points behind the summit, where the hot Inter stands. In general, it can be said that 2021 does not brighten the face of Stefano Fioli’s team, which has won only twice in its last nine games and is moving away from the championship dream.
Without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, most of the criticism was directed at the attacking players. Rafael Lau was criticized for his weak play, as was Ante Ravic who was sent off. “Without Zlatan, Milan’s attack is crying,” the Italian goal website read, “Milan’s attacking play does not show stability and this is a situation that should be of great concern to Fioli.” “In this way it will be very difficult to see Milan catch up with Inter,” the Gazzetta dello Sport wrote.
Pioli would justify the ability at the end of the game following his teammates’ injury blow: “When you are missing so many players, it makes an impact. Especially when those players bring leadership and experience with them. Try to imagine Inter without Romulo Lukaku, Lautro Martinez or Alexis Sanchez. More than half “We are without Zlatan, when Ravic and Chalenolo were also absent for a considerable period.”
On the chances of the championship, Fioli said: “Inter have gained momentum and given gas after their relegation from the Champions League. It has allowed them to better prepare for every game in the league. We are but not looking over our shoulders, but concentrating on our way.”
