The festive air for the club’s 125th anniversary, the many legends present at San Siro, the need to win the three points so as not to lose any more ground from the leaders. None of this can shake the Milanwhich was blocked by Genoa and was loudly contested by the fans.
The guests, who have not lost in 5 games, approached the match better, not allowing Milan to find the attacking midfielders between the lines with good pressing and a lot of density in the middle of the pitch. The Rossoneri create the first dangers thanks to the usual Reijnders, who also gives a shock to Liberali and Jimenez, the two new formations proposed by Fonseca: the 2007 class tries to be “central” in the game, while the Spaniard exchanges well with Leao and shows good personality. Despite several conclusions, the hosts are unable to give continuity to the attacks and the score does not break the deadlock.
Abraham leaves the match after a less than exciting 45 minutes, Morata comes in in his place. The first opportunity of the second half immediately fell on the head of Emerson Royal: Leali saw it late and with a flick deflected it for a corner. Then Liberali gives way to Camarda, greeted by an ovation from the crowd, but it is the Spaniard who has the two most important scoring opportunities: first he is imprecise with his left-footed shot, then he hits the crossbar from a few steps away. And Genoa? The Ligurians finish well and try with personality, attacking – when they have the chance – with many men, without fear. The Grifone even ended a match in which, ultimately, they suffered very little. It ends 0-0, amidst the boos of a San Siro who is increasingly tired of this Milan.
