“Riva would have been proud of today’s match.” How can you deny Mr. Davide Nicola, after such a courageous performance by his team? The Cagliari this Saturday evening he managed to stop a Milan who just a few days ago had beaten Real Madrid in the temple of football. 3-3 the final result of a crazy match, opened by a goal in the 2nd minute from Zortea, recovered by a brace from a finally decisive Leao and then continued blow by blow by Zappa (double) and Abraham (goal as soon as he entered). A huge disappointment for coach Paulo Fonseca, who was already anticipating his third consecutive victory. An enormous satisfaction instead for the rossoblù, certainly deserving of this draw. The tops? Zappa and Leao, obviously. The flops? Newcomer Sherri and Theo Hernandez. The performance of the 16-year-old Camarda was encouraging, making his debut from the 1st minute with the Devil’s shirt (read our Milan report cards here and our Cagliari report cards here).
Mr. Paulo Fonseca’s analysis in the press conference
“This match is very easy to explain. We scored three goals, but we can’t concede three like that. We have to work on crosses, we have a problem. Cagliari won 100% of their aerial duels, it’s not good. A step back We still have a lot of points available. The great team can be seen over time. We are improving offensively, less so on defence. No, I think the team did well in management, less so in tackling and duels. It’s honestly hard to explain.”
Mister Davide Nicola’s analysis in the press conference
“Riva would have been proud of this match. It was a very touching week from many points of view. The boys played a planned match, with the aim of limiting Milan, but without giving up the game. We gained in personality. This The match was exciting. Milan goes to every pitch to play and Cagliari accepted the match. It’s clear that we can turn up our noses at the 3 goals we conceded, but our humility helps us have mental balance.”
