September 15, 2019Perhaps not more 'fatal', but certainly a lot of trouble. Verona is never easy for Milan, who also took home the 1-0 (second win in a row with the slightest gap after the Udine knockout). Three precious points, but unconvincing team against a ten-man Verona for 70 'and able to hold in apprehension the most popular opponents up to 90' and beyond.Verre and Zaccagni behind Stepinski in the 3-4-2-1 of Juric. Giampaolo, in his 4-3-1-2, throws Paquetà midfielder (the Brazilian was employed as a central midfield) behind Suso and Piatek, the new arrival Rebic starts from the bench. A lively start with Milan showing itself and with Hellas making a good initiative ended upside down by Zaccagni. Donnarumma avoids what would have been a Eurogol. On the 21st fundamental episode decided with the help of the Var. Stepinski's high foot on Musacchio receiving the escarpment in the face in contrast. The referee Manganiello warns and then, with the video, turns yellow into red. Verona in ten but not dome. Launch of Rrhamani for the shot of Verre that distances Romagnoli and concludes from 16 meters high. About 20 minutes pass before the double whistle and Milan does not make a breach. The extra man is not seen.
At the beginning recovery in Rebic (which, among other things, he played in Verona in the second half of the 2015-16 championship) for Paquetà, evidently rejected in the new position. Giampaolo passes to 4-3-3, Suso on the right and the Croatian on the left of the trident. Milan in constant pressure. at 57 'unlucky Calabria: his right diagonally from outside slams on the pole. Verona eases the pressure and at 60 'Verre equalized the wood with a right-footed kick in the heart of the area. Milan starts again and finds the excellent combination between Calhanoglu and Piatek with the Turkish player who pulls and finds Gunter's wide arm. Piatek transforms from the diskette (68 '). A lighter spirit for Milan, which he would like to control fluently. Piatek would also make two goals after a serious uncertainty by Silvestri on Calhanoglu's shot, the Var having the referee's decision lifted (the goalkeeper was able to make up for this by putting his hands on the ball and then taking charge of the Pole). Heart-pounding finish. Just at the last second Pessina manages to break into the area and is 'grabbed' by Calabria. Manganiello whistles the punishment just a few centimeters outside the area and decides for the red card for the defender (clear chance to score). The Var looks and regards to establish the 'geographical position' of the foul and confirms the decision of the referee with the Rossoneri who breathe a sigh of relief. On the ball goes Veloso who shoots on the barrier, Lazovic resumes and shoots the diagonal that hisses a few centimeters to the side of the pole, while Donnarumma stretches out and then exults as after a final. Milan take home the three points with too much suffering.
