Evaluation Materials of Gennaro Gattuso Post Derby della Madonnina

DBasia.news –  AC Milan lost 2-3 to Derby della Madoninna in Serie A against Inter Milan at the San Siro on Monday (18/3) early morning Western Indonesian Time. The Rossoneri’s defeat leaves homework for the coach, Gennaro Gattuso.

Inter’s goals were scored by Matias Vecino (3 ‘), Stefan de Vrij (51’) and Lautaro Martinez (67 ‘). While Milan’s two goals came from Tiemoue Bakayoko (57 ‘) and Mateo Musacchio (71’). The defeat ended Milan’s positive period.

Not only must be willing to see the position of Milan down to fourth place – two points adrift of   Inter in third place, Gattuso also has two weeks to fix the minor record from the Milan Derby.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, three problems must be addressed by Gattuso within two weeks before playing the 29th week of Serie A against Sampdoria on Sunday (31/3) at 2:30 early morning Western Indonesian Time.

First, build defense again after showing great fragility against Inter’s offensive players. Although strengthened by Alessio Romagnoli and Mateo Musacchio, Milan’s defense looked easy to penetrate against Inter, especially in the first round.

When Vecino’s goal was created, no Milan defender closed the movement. The Milan defender is fixated on Martinez who heads Ivan Perisic’s cross, then directs it in the middle of the penalty box. Vecino emerged from the second line and scored.

Second, improving Milan’s game with different variations of tactics – not enough to just rely on plan A. When opponents read Milan’s 4-3-3 tactics and their games,   Gattuso must have a backup plan.

Luciano Spalleti, the Inter coach, read clearly the Milan game in the second half and warded off their attacks by relying on counter-attacks – which proved effective.

Finally, look for ways to supply as much ball as possible to Milan’s top scorer, Polish Krzysztof Piatek. The 23-year-old player looked furious when fighting Inter. The fact is not the case.

The new former opportunist attacker Genoa striker will show his sharpness if he gets the ball supply from his teammate. The 19 goals in Serie A 2018-19 did not have it against Inter.

Hakan Calhanoglu and Suso, who are expected to be able to help Piatek, have difficulties with each other’s performance. Especially Suso, which has recently been highlighted because his performance has dropped dramatically – but still played by Gattuso.
