Something has changed: The defense held well.


Just one goal in three games (one side's defeat last week against Genoa). And 'This is the figure that makes you smile more Pippo Inzaghi, because if accident Abate, De Sciglio and Alex (the frontline of defense owner) foreshadowed the worst for the team of Inzaghi, the performance of the last match, however, revealed the opposite.

Has a solid defense last night right under the blows of people like Higuain and Callejon Mertens who failed to breach the door Rossoneri, thanks to the great contribution of the midfielders (De Jong on all that before the defense is a real dam). About largely goes to a resounding Diego Lopez in goal gave assurance department surpassing in some interventions. But to really surprise is definitely Philppe Mexes, certain injuries were, by season debut against Sampdoria last November 8 has not abandoned the field. The Frenchman has been indicated by the same Inzaghi as 'example of this Milan' that is reborn from its ashes. And paired with Adil Rami (although yesterday came out injured in the second half) works wonders. In the last three games against Udinese, Genoa and Naples, shots were granted a total of 23, of which only 12 on target. It 'clear that solid defense means points: removed the defeat in Genoa, Milan jumped ahead by six points and now stands at -2 points behind third place.

The only notes that are likely to clash the performance of full-backs: on the one hand there Bonera that does its job without ever going further, while on the other we find Armero that features more suited to attack than to the defensive. For now Inzaghi seems to have found that bit of continuity coveted, but the match at the Olimpico against the second best attack in the league will be a difficult test.
