Stefano Pioli greets Milan getting mocked by Salernitana. In a match that began with the tribute of his team, with which he won the 2022 scudetto, and with the players’ hugs towards him. Ends 3-3 at San Siro.
The most affectionate appeared Rafael Lion (the Portuguese gave him a thought before the match: «Thank you for making me grow up», in a nutshell his respect towards the now former coach). And it was the winger who scored the advantage, taking advantage of a sensational duck from Fiorillo. The Salernitana goalkeeper (who up to that point had performed well with three good saves) slipped the ball out of his hands and Rafael Leao scored, then running to embrace Pioli. Only five minutes pass and it’s the turn of Giroud: corner from Florenzi, left foot from the Frenchman and goal to make it 2-0. «Merci Olivier Giroud», shouts the speaker several times and the only chant of the first half towards the Devil starts from the Curva Sud. Milan also scores 3-0: wonderful verticalization by Bennacer for Rafael Leao, ball in the middle and goal by Theo Hernandez. VAR intervenes, canceling it due to an offside by the Portuguese.
INSIGHTS
In the second half the script is the same. The Rossoneri attack, while Salernitana tries to defend themselves, even if they hit with Simi. Calabria he signs the trio, but Zambia and Simy take the Devil back. At the final whistle, the curtain falls on Pioli’s AC Milan adventure, after almost five years: «The coach was infinitely important. We know the results. With the coach we reached the Champions League four years in a row after seven years without going there, we won a championship 11 years after the last time and we played in a Champions League semi-final. It’s a completely different Milan today compared to the one he found. We are infinitely grateful to him”, said CEO Giorgio Furlani. Salvatore Riggio
