Milan, Pioli wins after Cardinale’s words: the greeting with Ibra and the dry response on Leao | Primapagina

Milan wins, but doesn’t convince. The three points scored in Friday evening’s match against Lazio in Rome they are not enough to calm a tense environment. Obviously the fiery ending peppered with controversy doesn’t help three red cards waved by Di Bello in the faces of Pellegrini, Marusic and Guendouzi. At the referee’s final whistle, the players of the two teams, not seen by the cameras, face each other head-on in the middle of the field, but luckily nothing serious happens.

TENSE CLIMATE – Stefano Pioli heads towards the changing rooms and meets Zlatan Ibrahimovic, present on the sidelines: the two greet each other by shaking hands. A certain coldness seems to emerge from the body language, but perhaps it is just an impression. Then the Milan coach appears in front of the journalists’ microphones, first on TV and then in a press conference. Where defends Pulisic from accusations of unsportsmanship and responds dryly to a question about Leao: “Have I thought about replacing him? No”. At this point he gets up and leaves.

HEAD TO EUROPE – The moment is delicate, it would be delicate for any other coach in his position. Owner Gerry Cardinale’s words resonate as a confirmation of the change in the bench at the end of the season. The coach responds by winning the match and moving to just one point away from second place in the standings occupied by Juventus, expected from Sunday evening’s trip to Naples. Now in his head there isEuropa League: Empoli arrives at the San Siro between the first leg and second leg of the round of 16 against Slavia Prague. He won’t be there for the occasion Leao, disqualified for the championship after receiving a late warning at the Olimpico. Pioli knows that to win the cup he will need the Portuguese striker, possibly in an overflow version like against Atalanta, much more in the game compared to the disappointing performance against Lazio.
