Verona have brought Salvatore Bocchetti to the manager position and tried a change after a terrible start. However this didn't prevent Milan from defeating them by 2-1 away. Now their losing streak has gone up to five games in the league. I can't indicate it like Milan got a comfortable win either in fact. Because they scored the winning goal in the 81st minute which was quite late. If they didn't improve their effort in the second half maybe they could have even lost two points.
Now they are still following the leader three points behind and Atalanta are right between them still. I wonder how long this nice rivalry among these three teams will go on.
They only need three points at the moment and the next game. I think every team wants to score as soon as possible, but it all depends on the opponent and the effort. I think Milan is starting to find a rhythm of the game that hasn't appeared for a long time. The win over Verona at least cut a three-point gap with Napoli. In a competition many clubs were able to make a surprise in the early phases, but they were unable to hold on until the endNow they are still following the leader three points behind and Atalanta are right between them still. I wonder how long this nice rivalry among these three teams will go on.
AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli admits AC Milan's new signing is adapting gradually and is ready to make a difference, especially going into a week without a game.
AC Milan got the opening prize from Miguel Veloso who scored an own goal in the ninth minute.
Next, Verona had time to reply through Koray Guenter's goal in the 19th minute. Sandro Tonali was the key figure in the Rossoneri's victory in this match, after scoring a goal in the 81st minute.
Victory over Verona makes AC Milan have 23 points from 10 matches. They are in third place in the standings. Meanwhile, Verona is getting worse. They are in 18th position with five points from 10 matches.
