The merits of Ibra and those of Pioli, united to win the Italian Cup and lead the Milan of the future

Call it PiolIbra, because Ibrahimovic’s new Milan was born in Cagliari, of course, but also by Pioli, increasingly united for the present and for the future. Milan had never won with two goal difference this year, among other things away from a team thirsting for revenge, and the Swede never imagined playing 96 minutes, almost three months after his last game, in America. Well, very well, even if the beautiful and the difficult come now, because it is always more difficult to win than to win. Only at the end of the season will we know if it was worth clinging to Ibrahimovic, but in the meantime the fans do well to hope that the worst has passed and it is already a lot, thinking of all the problems that Milan has had to date. With many applause to Ibrahimovic, which obviously was not to be rediscovered if anything only to be verified at the athletic level. But also with lots of applause for Pioli, not even him to be rediscovered if anything to check for his tactical choices after the arrival of the Swede. Pioli, however, once again has shown, indeed confirmed, that he is a coach as well as a coach, precisely for this reason, underestimated in the world of football where appearance is often more important than substance. Another in his place would have postponed, or otherwise limited, the use of Ibrahimovic. He, however, who in Trapattoni’s Juventus had played with a certain Platini, knows that the champions make the difference more than the coaches, if only because they go on the pitch and not on the bench. And so he immediately put Ibrahimovic in the best conditions to express himself. From the first day the Swede has made it clear that he prefers a second striker by his side and Pioli, who is not a “Taliban” like his predecessor Giampaolo, has changed the team’s tactical form. Leaving 4-3-3, here is 4-4-2 because the modules must be adapted to the players and not vice versa, with many greetings to Suso and Piatek even if for different reasons. Common sense and tactical elasticity, here are the great qualities of Pioli who deserves to lead Milan again next year, with or without Ibrahimovic who will have to check for himself if he can and will continue. In the meantime, AC Milan will make their debut in the Italian cup at San Siro against Spal, barely beaten in the championship by a punishment from Suso, who was contested even before the isolated but very important feat. Winning the Italian cup is a goal, Ibrahimovic said on the day of his presentation and since he has never won it and it is the only cup that can win this year, woe to snub this event, considering it as almost everyone does to make the reserves play because the championship is more important. So against Spal, or if he will not play immediately against any next opponents, Ibrahimovic has the duty to drag Milan as in the championship. Winning the Italian cup, in fact, would be the best way to look to the future with optimism, encouraging the Elliott fund to make new investments on established champions such as Ibrahimovic, because only with young people do not go anywhere as we have seen this year .
