Ferrara, the Var, Mariani, Brocchi, Inzaghi, Gattuso: mistakes and regrets

Difficult, very difficult to tell Spal-Milan. Even cold many hours later. In the 36 (someone has counted 39) shots, of which 15 in the first half 11 against 11, the errors outweigh the bad luck. The only Paquetà (good game) with 10 conclusions, is the proof: only twice he committed the goalkeeper, who lay down half a minute every time he had the ball in his hands. But take a pinball goal on a corner kick and one like that of Floccari (the only 2 shots left by the Ferrarese, against 9 for Milan and 14 overall in 45 ‘), in the first half dominated in long and wide, and then banging the horns on the wall, a small incidence of bad luck and the flavor of the haunted night has it. For the rest, the regrets for too many mistakes are all Rossoneri: very often these are wrong choices, you shoot when you should pass it or you pass it when you can shoot. The result was a mess that brought Europe back into play, in the hands of Naples and chased by Verona. We need to recover these points between Lazio, Juve and Naples. Many times, according to my prediction, this season we should have sent Donnarumma to the pitch with the abacus and instead things went differently. I say that in this triptych we will score points, then we’ll talk about it again. Mr. Mariani in Ferrara was unpolished and unprofessional. He did not notice with the naked eye the D’Ambrosio expulsion foul, which could have cost Hernandez his career. He did not deign to go to the Var (it is often happening on all fields: the arrogance of the referees puts even the longed for technological aids in a corner) at 96 ‘and indeed he whistled in advance the end. He should explain to us if the only criterion for which he set such a skimpy recovery was his tiredness: 7 substitutions in the second half, Di Biagio’s expulsion, the repeated loss of time of the shoulder pads (the fake cramps also came to warehouse workers and masseurs), a goal in full recovery and what does Mariani do? It gives 6 minutes and then closes it at 5’54 “, with AC Milan attacking calling for a call to the Var (incidentally, in my opinion that’s not a penalty, unless it was Calabria …). In conclusion, ample room for recriminations and mea culpa, but some Rossoneri traveled under the rhythm and without the necessary lucidity. In June Brocchi celebrated in B with his Monza, Inzaghi in A with his Benevento and Gattuso the Italian Cup with his Napoli. What was was: they paid inexperience, corporate confusion, mediocre teams, but they showed that they can do this job. And they can do it well. I just hope that, like after Ferrara, AC Milan has remained someone who can reflect. And distinguish between bad luck and proper mistakes.
