Watched Milan’s game versus Venezia last night. Somewhat unfortunate timing, AC Milan finally got their season started with an easy 4-0 win over Venezia. Venezia is a promoted side trying to play the style that got them promoted, and they just don’t have the horses in the barn. It was 4-0 30 minutes in, which meant Milan was able to rotate off the starters in the 2nd half (though not until about '65). The good news is that because of their rough start, they started a strong side - of today’s likely starters, only Morata and perhaps Jovic or Tomori did not start.
Other consideration is that Milan has Inter on the weekend in a match that gets coaches fired.
Back on topic, this is quite an important 3 points for our CL hopes this season. 6 points from Bologna and Milan would mean we could approach our three toughest games more relaxed, knowing we could back ourselves to finish strongly against Girona, Lille and PSV as required.
