TMW - Milan lose head and fourth place: would it really deserve the Champions?

Milan is on its knees. The recent performance offered by Gennaro Gattuso's formation is anything but positive, with just one victory in the last eight league games. The feeling is that the Rossoneri team lost the compass after the five victories in a row between February and March: the 2-1 against Chievo even seemed to launch the Milan formation towards third place, which instead failed to put behind the difficulties emerged over the weeks. An isolated incident against Lazio. Not even the three points gained two weeks ago in the direct confrontation gave new motivations to the boys, increasingly in a crisis under the mental aspect. Missing the right tranquility, as happened tonight against Torino. When the ball starts to burn, Milan goes haywire. It is now a constant. Belotti's goal from the penalty spot marked the beginning of the end and Berenguer's feat meant the final blow. Does it really deserve the Champions? Right now it is difficult to answer in the affirmative, but paradoxically Milan can still do it. Of course, now it does not depend only on your own energy because Atalanta can be alone in fourth place tomorrow and Roma is at 58. Without forgetting that Torino, now at 56 just like the Rossoneri, is ahead in the direct confrontations. The matches against Bologna, Fiorentina, Frosinone SPAL can be decisive and overturn the predictions in the Champions League race made at the triple whistle of the Olimpico Grande Torino, provided that Milan wins the twelve points available. It may not be enough, but now it's the only way to fight to the end.

According to Rai Sport , the confirmation of Gennaro Gattuso on the Milan bench after the summit held today at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino is still not certain. According to what has been reported, the company will be considering 24 times. In case of exemption, it is possible that the team should be entrusted to the Primavera coach Federico Giunti with the supervision of Leonardo himself.

Even the Rossoneri locker room is divided, as one part had to argue with the technician.

"Exempt? Ask the Milan". Gattuso away immediately? The ko can be fatal

It is obvious that Milan and Gennaro Gattuso will not go ahead together, but the roads seemed destined to separate only from the end of May. However, the Champions League race now compromised after the knockout against Torino, with a European failure that represents a possible scenario, seem to lead the Rossoneri to reflect. An immediate change, so to speak, at the helm of Milan. To try to shake and save what can be saved, even if fourth place now depends also on the race of the other teams in the race and not just on their own strength. The overtaking of Roma, the engagement of the Torino and the possible 'extension' of Atalanta could mark the early divorce between the parties. To understand if the summit among the executives staged at the Grande Torino Olympic Stadium will have repercussions already on Monday, or if the final decision is to go on together again. In the background there is the ferryman hypothesis, with Federico Giunti - technician of the Primavera - which represents a practicable track even if little sensible in a European key.

The ball passes to the various Ivan Gazidis, Leonardo and Paolo Maldini, certainly not satisfied with the just five points won in the last seven championship days.

After a rather balanced first half, Torino returns to the field in the second half with another look. And Milan is immediately in crisis. However, the hosts pass only thanks to a little gift from the Referee: a very generous penalty and Belotti's net. The Rossoneri try with Bakayoko, but his header hits the crossbar. And so, wrong goal, goal conceded: Berenguer exploits an indecision of Musacchio and cold Donnarumma with a right to the kiss that slips at the intersection. It is the game that actually closes the match. Sirigu saves on Bakayoko, then Milan loses its head: Romagnoli is expelled for protests, the yellow ones rain. A new false step, perhaps decisive: the Rossoneri fall, the Champions now becomes a mirage.

TMW - Rome, tomorrow meeting for Conte. Quotes up

It is no mystery that among the ideas for the bench of Rome in the next season there is Antonio Conte. At this time his quotations would seem to have definitely risen, given that Massimiliano Allegri will meet the Juventus president Agnelli on Wednesday, and should be reappointed. In this way the Juventus runway would fade. The request of the Apulian technician is a three-year contract worth 10 million per season, but with the possibility of filing down or even with the inclusion of an important sponsor. If up to now the odds gravitated to around 30%, we are now at least 50, as the large benches do not move.

TMW - The latest on Torino-Milan - Cutrone on the pitch from 1 '

The Champions Challenge ignites even more. There are four days to go, even if we need to close this football weekend. Torino welcomes Milan in this 34th day of the championship, both teams want to win the entire stakes. The victory of Roma certainly puts pressure on Gattuso's men, who also come from the disappointment of Wednesday against Lazio. The elimination from the Italian Cup has brought some discontent to Milanello, also because of a moment a bit 'swinging. The possible exclusion from the next Champions League would probably lead to another revolution in Milan. Different speech with regards to the hosts. The grenades play and create, but more importantly they gain heavy points. The Europa League is only a few steps away, Mazzarri's team wants to return to play for a place in international competitions.

HOW TORINO COMES - In the last ten games played, Torino is one of the best teams in the league, in the special ranking the grenade takes second place. Better only Juventus: few goals conceded, but above all very important victories. Surely there is traffic for the European area, but in such a balanced league nothing is taken for granted. As for today's match there will be some absence too many: three absent, namely Djidji, Baselli and Zaza. Iago Falque is fine, but will not start from the first minute: in attack we will probably see Berenguer and Belotti. Lukic, Rincon and Meité in the median, with De Silvestri and Ansaldi acting on the outside lanes. In defense we change little: Sirigu between the posts, with Izzo, Nkoulou and Moretti to compose the back pack.

HOW THE MILAN ARRIVES - The victory of the Roma must absolutely give a push to the team of Gattuso, that is going through a negative period. One win and two draws, very little to compete in the top positions of the standings. There seems to be a certain distrust even in the words of the Rossoneri coach, but we must also think about the field. According to the latest news, there could be an almost sensational choice: Piatek will start from the bench, with Cutrone in the field from the first minute. In order to shake up, the 1998 class could start in the offensive trident, with Suso and Calhanoglu on the exterior. In the middle Paqueta could return to rotations, along with Kessié and Bakayoko. Counts at Calabria outlets on the right out, with Musacchio, Romagnoli and Rodriguez completing the department. Donnarumma will be on target, who seems to have recovered after the injury.

These are the words collected by Gazzetta.it: "With Turin I had no contact, but if I continue like this I know that Rennes will redeem me.

The executives of via Aldo Rossi - Corriere della Sera reports - like the game it teaches, less the lack of aptitude to enhance all the elements of the rose. Reflections in progress.

CorSera - Gattuso-Milan, five races before saying goodbye

Five races before saying goodbye. As evidenced by today's edition of the Corriere della Sera, after yesterday's words, which convey mental fatigue, it is unthinkable to imagine that Gattuso's adventure to Milan continues even in the event of qualification for the Champions League.

Gazzetta - Adrenalina Cutrone, Milan asks him to shake him up: the owner to find the goal

Yesterday, the Torino-Milan eve, he was tested in training and unless he takes part in the twists and turns he will be the attacker. Gattuso has chosen: Cutrone will replace Piatek at the center of the trident. One hundred days without goals: for someone like Patrick, they are an infinity. Tonight he could stop his fast, in case he hit the bull. Otherwise it will remain firm at the double made last January 12 against Sampdoria in the Italian Cup.

THE OPPORTUNITY - It was a Milan in crisis as well as the one at the beginning of the year at Marassi. And the ascent - observes La Gazzetta dello Sport - began in the extra ones thanks to Cutrone's double signature. Who knows if the same thing happens in Turin. This time Patrick will have many more minutes available: Pistolero Piatek's wet powders, in fact, give him a starting chance in Gattuso's 4-3-3, the module that, so far, has often forced him to the bench.

ENERGY - Patrick, therefore, had the go-ahead signal. It's a question of energy: the former Primavera has shown more than the Polish in these complicated days for Milan. Against Lazio, Cutrone had also found the goal, then annulled for offside. Now he'll try again with Taurus, to help the Devil put his nose out of this hell.

Turin-Milan, the Corriere della Sera: "The Champions League is up for grabs"

"Happy Mazzarri sees himself in this bull of his," writes the Milanese newspaper, which then reports a statement by the grenade technician: "We are a team".

Deulofeu remembers Barcelona: "The only one who explained something to me was Guardiola"

Gerard Deulofeu remembers his past at Barcelona: "I had good experiences in Barcelona, ​​I stayed there for many years. At the same time, however, it was not at all easy, given that I had to measure myself every day with the best players in the world, in "A stadium like the Camp Nou. It's not easy for a young man, you need a little confidence. The only one who explained something to me at the beginning, however, was Guardiola. I still believe that you can't live thinking of the past, we must always look ahead ". The Spanish attack exterior, after so many loans between Everton, Sevilla, Milan and Watford, has definitively left the blaugrana last summer and, with the Hornets, is experiencing a great season (11 goals and 5 assists in 29 appearances so far ).

EXCLUSIVE MN - M. Colombo: "Never saw Gattuso like this, relationships seem worn out. The collapse? In the derby he lost certainty but the other happened"

Monica Colombo, a Corriere della Sera journalist, was interviewed exclusively by MilanNews.it to comment on Rino Gattuso's sentences and position in view of tonight's fundamental challenge in Torino

Does Milan seem lost, is everything from the derby or is there something extra? "The defeat in the derby has affected, it was a bit of a watershed match of the season. There was no certainty there, but the other one happened in cascade. Before the challenge with Sampdoria Gattuso said" In two months I speak ". He yesterday denied that this interpretation was due to a collapse of the team, but even that helped to remove certainties from a group where there are already elements that do not shine for personality and leadership".

Rino Gattuso appeared resigned at the conference ... "Gattuso denies being resigned, but I have known him since he arrived at Milan. So I had never seen him before. He no longer seems to believe it so much, then probably, since he is not self-defeating, I think it is an attempt to flush out the players, goad them in pride, or in what is left in them.The phrases that he used today are critical all along the line, "Team without a soul, without play", it is difficult to think that he wants to celebrate the funeral alone. footballers in pride ".

What should you expect from the Torino challenge? "At the level of attitude I imagine myself different to the last two, quite disconcerting. I believe there will be an answer, then if Paquetà will play qualitatively you should see something more, with a game a little more purposeful".

Can the return of Paquetà help Milan? "I hope that there is Paquetà, also because the other men of quality, who on paper had to guarantee a certain return, have not been seen in the last period. Suso is back from the vintage in chiaroscuro that we know, Calhanoglu at this point comes to me "I suspect the player is this. We all always expect an explosion that never comes. Castillejo guarantees race and change of pace but he is not a footballer who can change the face of the team. If there is a good footed player that can make some balloons arrive to Piatek is really Paquetà, also because it doesn't seem to me that many balls have arrived in the Coppa Italia ".

Can we hypothesize that Gattuso will remain in the light of the latest statements? "Until a few weeks ago there could have been a stay in the event of qualifying for the Champions League. For the tones used it seems to me that the relationship is a bit worn. After yesterday's press conference I find it hard to imagine a Gattuso, which is me he seemed tired from a mental and emotional point of view, that he could stay. The company does not communicate much, but a thousand came out of voices. The last time they were denied had been on the evening of the match with Juve. in the last interview with Leonardo we only talked about racism, nothing on the coach front, I think it was wanted ".
