Calcio Saga 20/21

Didnt watch the game so I didnt realise that Milan had 0 shots on goal vs Spezia

I don't think any of us have posted here about him, but Italiano,
Sacchi's newest fanboy, deserves lots of praise. He is getting progressively more hyped in the media as one of the most exciting up and coming coaches.

2-0 Milan
2-1 Sassuolo
3-0 Roma
2-1 Napoli
0-0 Atalanta

Its a pretty absurd record for a straight out of Serie B Spezia. Better big game record than Roma and probably other big teams.

Took Trapani from C to B in one season, took Spezia from B to A for the first time ever in one season, now will secure Spezia's serie A status comfortably.

Can see Napoli appointing him.

Italiano copy pasted Atlanta's tactics to a tee and just pressed us to death. We had zero response. Pioli did not know what to do. Dalot turned into a Spezia player. Now every team in the world knows that all they have to do is press us and we are done. Lille, Atlanta and Spezia all dominated us with the same tactic. Conte is gonna massacre us next week.

Well Calabria ( great season this year) is back and so Dalot will be back on bench.
Eventually Calabria has been punished from karma.
He got on purpose yellow card against Crotone for not missing derby , not thinking to Spezia...

How much are we losing by today?

Reverse Jinx!!!

Sorry Milan but you can't win shit by defending like that in a game this crucial.

Fortunately for them we are Inter after all, so anything is possible

One team is playing like a Scudetto contendor

The other is playing to not lose

What frightens me all season is Milan's ability to just score out of absolutely nothing

What happened to Handanovic being finished

Handanovic best game in his career

And Robes telling me he's finished

Game over I guess

We self destructed ourselves to let Inter win the league. From Allegri to Pirlo, what a sad decline.

Inter Conte Young and Lukaku carrying them to a title

Perisic has improved much in his time at Bayern

What a goal Lukaku

Ultimate scrub killer

Yup

Congratulations to Robes and Vibes, I think is the scudetto done and dusted (most probably).

We played better than the Spezia match, but still lost to the better team. We couldn't score the handful of chances we got, and we cannot defend a counter to save our lives (only reason we survived so long is because of Donarumma's excellent goalkeeping).

I didn't start the season even thinking we could be contenders, but I confess that I began to hope for it at the end of last year. That is, until the 3-0 loss against Atalanta. We simply lack the consistent quality, and we depend on moments of Ibra magic to bail us out.

That being said, kudos to the team for performing above their weight all this while, and I hope they continue to improve further for next year. I am a little bit sad that Ibra wouldn't be able to get a final trophy before he retires for good, especially since he is responsible for much of the good feelings we had as Milan fans for the past year or so (too bad the season didn't start in January 2020).

Edit: Again, the worst things about losing the Coppa match to Inter is Erikson finding his way back to the Inter team.

The min Inter hired PL experience. They were bound to win the league

How much is Ibra going to pay Lukaku for all of the touches today, I wonder

Che goduria vincere il derby per 0-3

Che tempo per essere vivi

Fair enough

Our come back will only cause twice the pain

I haven't seen a goalkeeping performance like this in over 2 years. As much as I make fun of the Statue of Handa when he does want to save...he does what he did today and as a result I am not too dissatisfied with the team despite the crushing loss.


Eriksen has been the difference for Inter ever since Conte decided to use him and Inter just wanted the game more clearly.


Only good thing about no crowd is it does somehow soften the blow a bit, when your team concedes.

Loved that Zlatan gave a begrudging clap for Lukaku's sensational goal who of course had to reveal his lasting chip on the shoulder to Zlatan during the celebration .

Cant imagine why given he will never have 1/5th of the legacy Ibra has.

Lukaku is the first player since Romeo Benetti (1972-1973) to score in four consecutive Milan derbies in Serie A!

Since Conte started to agree with every single Inter fan in the world about what out best lineup is, we have been absolutely balling.

Atalantas free scoring team against our injury ravaged team God save us
