AC Milan will play the fifth giornata of the Italian League 2020-2021 by hosting AS Roma. The match will take place at the San Siro Stadium on Tuesday, October 27, 2020.
Ahead of the match, Milan have a very good record. As of last season, Milan have played 21 matches without even losing.
Even more amazing, in the eight matches the Rossoneri have played in the 2020-2021 season, they have always finished with a win. A total of four matches of which took place in the Italian League.
Thus, currently Milan are top of the standings with 12 points. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his friends are also nominated as candidates to challenge for the Italian League title this season. In response to this, the Milan coach, Stefano Pioli, reminded his players not to be complacent. Because, the competition season has just started. Pioli actually asked his foster children to be even more ambitious.
“It's just the start of the season and tomorrow we have an important game. After criticism, we just thought to work, now we have to do the same thing even though we get praise, "said Pioli, as quoted by the Italian Football, Monday (26/10/2020).
I asked the team to give more to be very ambitious. It's good that expectations are rising. We need to better understand the moments of the match, when we need to increase the speed or when we need to maintain possession of the ball, "he continued.
“Our growth will come with time, but it must be continuous and consistent. We started well and we want to continue to do it, "added the former Fiorentina coach.
So far in the 2020-2021 Italian League stage, Milan has become the team with the best defense line. The reason is, the Rossoneri have conceded only once, namely by Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku at the Derby della Madonnina in the previous giornata.
In addition, currently Milan are also the only team in Europe's top five leagues that have always wiped out matches with wins. Previously, there was Aston Villa which had a similar record. However, on the sixth matchday of the 2020-2021 Premier League, Aston Villa lost 0-3 to Leeds United.
So, to secure a chance to win, the Rossoneri coach named Stefano Pioli prepared his strategy. Launching from Sportskeeda, Pioli will field a squad almost the same as when against Inter Milan.
However, because there are several players who cannot appear, such as Ante Rebic, Hakan Calhanoglu, Matteo Gabbia, Leo Duarte, and Mateo Musacchio, of course Pioli still has to make a little reshuffle.
Brahim Diaz will replace Calhanoglu, while Sandro Tonali may not be played, considering he worked hard in the 2020/21 Europa League against Celtic. Instead is Ismael Bennacer.
So, the possible line-ups are Donnarumma, Hernandez, Romagnoli, Kjaer, Calabria, Frank Kessie, Bennacer, Rafael Leao, Brahim Diaz, Saelemaekers, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with a 4-2-3-1 scheme.
From their last five meetings in the Italian Serie A League, AC Milan successfully won three times with a score of 2-0, 2-1 and 2-0. Meanwhile, AS Roma only won once, namely 2-1. The rest, the two teams drew 1-1.
This is the information about Facing Roma, Stefano Pioli asks AC Milan to be more ambitious, I hope this information is useful.
