In a fierce Serie A duel that just ended, AC Milan faced Monza away, but suffered a dismal 4-2 defeat. Previously, AC Milan had won all the way and was in high spirits, but there was an accident in this game.
It is worth noting that due to the frequent games recently, core players such as Giroud and Leao have been placed on the bench, which may have weakened the team's strength to a certain extent, and Jiafu's continuous fouls in the penalty area have made matters worse.
Towards the end of the first half, AC Milan's defence was passive, and Jiafu failed to make two consecutive tackles, which eventually led to the opponent being awarded a penalty. Motta's goal further exacerbated AC Milan's passivity.
In the second half, Pioli had to adjust his line-up ahead of schedule in hopes of turning the tide of the game. However, the situation in which Jovic was sent off further exacerbated AC Milan's predicament. It wasn't until Giroud, Leao and other key players came on the pitch that AC Milan improved. Olivier Giroud's goal and Christian Pulisic's brilliant strike also gave the team a chance to survive.
Although AC Milan struggled to catch up at crucial moments, Monza's incisive counter-attack ultimately cost them a beating. Stefano Pioli and AC Milan were frustrated by the scoreline, a defeat that cost them a crucial point.
The defeat was undoubtedly a heavy blow for AC Milan, whose title dreams were in jeopardy. Juventus, on the other hand, have greatly reduced the pressure.
For AC Milan, they need to adjust their form and bounce back as soon as possible. In the next races, they still have a chance to prove themselves and strive for better results.
So, what do you think AC Milan should do in the future to bounce back and get back to winning ways?
