Milan’s Paulo Fosenca still not taking off. Today the Portuguese coach left on the bench Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao looking for a coup after the defeat in Parma, but, after taking the lead at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, he had to resort to his own Leao with his goal he rescued a draw against Lazio (2-2). Two points in the first three games sum up the disappointing start of the ‘rossoneri’ in Serie A.
The game started with Strahinja Pavlovic as the protagonist. The Serbian centre-back, Milan’s reinforcement for this season, not only prevented Milan’s goal on the line Boulaye Dia after a false start Mike Maignan, but six minutes later, in the 8th minute, he opened the scoring by heading into the net a corner taken by Christian Pulisic.
Milan control the first half
After the 0-1, Milan controlled the match at will, without creating clear chances to extend their lead, but also without suffering as a very flat Lazio without ideas did not pose any problems in the first half.
Marco Baroni He tried to react at half-time by changing his right wing by withdrawing Manuel Lazzarri and Loum Tchaouna and giving way to Adam Marusic and Gustav IsaksenLazio seemed to come back with renewed vigor but as the minutes passed they continued to show themselves incapable of generating danger.
Nuno Tavares drives Emerson crazy and gives two goals
However, when it came time to play, everything changed in the blink of an eye thanks to an unexpected protagonist. Nuno Tavares, On loan from Arsenal, he was having a discreet debut at Lazio but in four minutes he went off the mark twice. Emerson Royal on the left wing and first he put a ball to the counterattack Taty Castellanos to equalize (62′) and shortly after he assisted from the goal line to Day (66′). Both of them just had to push the ball into the net.
Paulo Fosenca He introduced four changes at once in the 70th minute and resorted to, among others, Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao. And in the first intervention of the Portuguese, in a quick collective action against, he achieved the 2-2 by shooting Ivan Provedel after receiving from the debutant Tammy Abraham, who had also just entered (72′).
