One thing must be said and is sacrosanct: Stefano Pioli it has a much greater sense of reality than its predecessor could have Marco Giampaolo. Why? Soon said: it is not necessary to start from a tactical idea of ​​a beautiful game that risks, with time, to remain an end in itself. Pioli, after a few days of work and even less with the whole group at his disposal, tries, experiments, does not allow himself to be betrayed by his preconceptions and partly with the players who give him the feeling of being fit. It is he who says so at the post-Milan-Lecce press conference about the choice to start with Leao in the center of the trident, relegating Piatek on the bench. But it does not end here: of course, the test with the Salentines cannot make us forget the inconsistency of the previous competitions and of a Rossoneri history with lower than others, but what seen by Calhanoglu a miracle cannot be dictated. Most probably it was enough to put it in the best possible conditions.
Clear that, if we were to talk about yesterday's race only in these terms, we would propose a distorted vision with respect to the accrued result and without taking into account the conspicuous drop that at the beginning of the recovery led Lecce to equalize on penalty (saved by Donnarumma and then rebutted into the net by Babacar) and then to get the decisive 2-2 at 90 ’, thanks to an error in cohabitation between Suso and Biglia which led to that wandering ball prey of Calderoni, aimed at best with a virtually unstoppable shot. The road is long, very long and Milan can no longer admit individual errors that risk further undermining an already precarious team estate. Because, if it is true that the eleven initials start with big balls, it is also true that you need a Turkish prodigy to get the first advantage and that, once you have painstakingly achieved the 2-1, you must have the maturity to close any kind of speech.
And yet these days, times that tell us the 10 points in eight games (nothing worse happened than in the 2012/2013 season, the one in which Allegri managed to bring Milan's El Shaarawy and Balotelli to the third place in the Champions League), you can't leave the realism proposed by Pioli. Especially after a start to the season where too many Pindaric flights had carbonated the environment on one side and on the other made it even more confused and therefore vulnerable. This is the human material, Pioli knows it well and, as a good tailor, he tries to get the best out of the fabric in his hands. Handicap for the technician is naturally that of time: time that he does not have to experiment, time that cannot be lost, time almost entirely burned by Giampaolo in the first seven games. Partially positive note is the handbrake that the Roman women continue to keep in the standings giving a homogeneous ranking with a Europe basically within reach. In short, Milan continues to have its destiny in their hands, aware of its limits, but not for this reason incapable of fighting to the last for the positions that count. Pioli has a difficult job ahead of him, he knows it well. But his realism is already a good starting point.
