Analysis/ Horror start and reversal, Europe as a mirage for Milan
2025-04-08 13:08:27 / SPORT
Another match with a nightmare start, another crazy upset, a point earned for the way the evening had gone, but two more points lost on the road to a Europe that seems increasingly distant.
This is how Milan-Fiorentina can be summed up, an emblematic match of what has been the Rossoneri's season so far with endless ups and downs. The statistics speak for themselves: Milan has conceded 8 goals in the first 10 minutes of a match in this championship, something that had not happened to them for almost 80 years (it was the 1948/49 season). The Rossoneri found themselves in disarray for the fifth consecutive match (after Lazio, Lecce, Como and Napoli) and managed to only partially compensate for the shocking start.
MERIT AND MISCONCEPTION – In terms of points, perhaps Conceicao's boys would have deserved something more, but the constant gaps in their half of the field prove that this team, at least at this stage, completely lacks balance. The first Milan to date is capable of great offensive matches, but also of sensational blunders in the background. With both Fonseca and Conceicao, the Rossoneri are authors of moments of extraordinary intensity, but also of occasional incomprehensible pauses. An interruption that very often also affected the performance of individuals (see Teo, Leao, Fofana, but also Menja), often preventing us from finding reliable points of reference other than Reijnders and Pulisic, who are not coincidentally the team's best scorers.
OBJECTIVE – What happened with Musa also seems to confirm Conceicao's disorientation. The coach is trying to find confirmation on the pitch for what he feels and sees being achieved in training and is seeing the seasonal objectives disappear, as well as the increasingly distant possibility of confirmation in office when everything is over. Europe, on the other hand, has become a mirage, given that the Europa League zone is now 7 points away and the Champions League zone 8. The Portuguese coach should probably focus all his remaining energy on the return derby of the Coppa Italia, a trophy that probably won't be enough to save his bench, but could at least partially save Milan's season.
