The Champions also passes from the midfield: the great absentee, the crisis and the balance to be found, as well as the goals

The draw of Turin, combined with the meetings that are anything but simple for Milan's opponents, could allow the Rossoneri to find (more or less blatantly) a position that seemed hopelessly lost. The fourth place seemed to have become a chimera after the Olympic debacle, yet, awaiting the matches of Roma and Atalanta, it could be less distant than expected. To get closer, or win back, we will inevitably have to overcome Bologna (and not only), but we will need a completely different Milan than the one we saw in the last month and a half.

THE CHOICES - Rino Gattuso, according to what we learn from the retreat at Milanello, now seems convinced to use Lucas Paquetà as a midfielder, while there are still some doubts about how the rest of the team will be composed: a three-handed midfield with Calhanoglu mezz'ala and two points, median to two with three half-points behind the only striker or even a hypothesis of a four-point line ... In short, there are plenty of hypotheses in the Rossoneri's home, for a team that has to get up and try to reach a goal which, at the expense of everything, is still within reach.

FINDING BALANCE AND GOAL - In this last period, it was the department that had behaved best in the beginning of 2019 to disappoint. Let's talk about the midfield that with Kessie, Bakayoko and Paquetà had reached an important balance, broken by the psychophysical decline of its elements and from some behaviors that did not do the group good and the serenity of the individual players. It is no coincidence that Biglia began to talk about it as a possible graft, although the Argentine has never shone since his return from injury (a goal to Chievo separately). The lack of a player like Bonaventura weighs a great deal, the only midfielder who ensured a considerable contribution to the project: how useful were the goals of the Marche in this moment of fogging? So much, yet Jack won't be there, as there hasn't been this part since November. Milan will have to find elsewhere the goals necessary for the Champions race. And let's not just talk about Piatek. The various Kessie, Calhanoglu, Suso will have to reconcile themselves with the network: the imprecision is not only linked to bad luck, but also to a lack of killer instinct that has been going on for some time in the Rossoneri's home.
