Milan privateer, flashes of Giroud and Pulisic
Bologna-Milan 0-2
The first day of Serie A ended with a 2-0 Milan victory in Bologna.
At the Dall’Ara, the Emiliani hit a crossbar with Lykogiannis after only 20 seconds, but then the Rossoneri unlocked the result with Giroud in the 11th minute on an assist from Reijnders and effectively closed the score already in the 21st minute with Pulisic. In the second half heat and fatigue conditioned the course of the match with the guest comeback attempt stopping at an outside post by Ndoye. In the 90th minute woodwork also for Leao.
Double-net draw between Torino and Cagliari. At the Stadio Olimpico-Grande Torino in Monday’s first Serie A postponement, the hosts tried, especially in the first half, but ran into the wall erected by Ranieri’s team, which was also capable of making itself dangerous.
Satisfied precisely the guests’ coach: “I have good guys, they want to establish themselves. We have a good mixture. We played with personality, we had to be more stinging but the heat, for us as for them, was the main thing. I was sweating standing still, let alone the boys.”
“The three-man defense? I have players who can allow me to change the system of play during games. We opted to stay that way by staying compact. The forwards sacrificed and I thank them because they did what we tried during the week. We tried not to let the three defenders play freely and we did not want the ball to come clean in the last thirty meters where they are dangerous.”

Roma-Juventus: Igor Tudor pampers Kenan Yildiz and makes an announcement about Cambiaso and Douglas Luiz
These are the statements made in a press conference by Juventus coach Igor Tudor on the eve of the challenge at the Stadio Olimpico against Claudio Ranieri’s Roma, valid for the 31st day of Serie A.
“I am happy with this my first full week of work. We trained on the two phases, set pieces and physical condition. I saw the boys with the desire to do well. With Roma it will be an important game, but not a decisive one. It’s a difficult match against a team that is going through a very good moment of form. We, however, want to think about ourselves and try to field the things we are working on” began the Bianconeri coach.
“We have to grow game by game. I believe a lot in working during the week. A team with Juventus must be perfect from a tactical point of view, from the style of play to the structure to the defensive phase. I arrived at a rather delicate moment, but now we have picked ourselves up and started pedaling” continued the former Lazio coach.
“I have seen Kenan in five or six trainings. To be a champion you need consistency in performance and this can only be achieved with continuity, especially mental. I see a young man who is serious and focused on soccer. I urge everyone to be consistent in their growth, work and not settle. This is the key of champions: maintaining the same level of play against every team. Yildiz is young and still has a lot of work to do, but the starting point is very good” added the Croatian coach.
“Douglas Luzi and Cambiaso have only recently returned to the group, so they do not have the 90 minutes in their legs. We know that McKennie is a wild card and his pliability will be very useful to us right now. Conceiçao is a smart player and I think he can also play more centrally. He needs time to settle in that area of the field and grow, but I like his mentality and attitude of work” concluded Igor Tudor.
