I thought Benassi is natually more of a defensive mid? He seems to be in a central attacking positioning today.
Thank God i don't have high expectations for our team this year because this was an ugly second half.
Our women's side just began their return leg of the women's champions league. Away to some Scandinavian side. We won the first leg but don't recall the score line. Round of 16.
Our convocati... Astori, Badelj, Benassi, Biraghi, Cerofolini, Chiesa, Cristoforo, Dragowski, Eysseric, Gaspar, Hagi, Babacar, Laurini, Lo Faso, Milenkovic, Olivera, Pezzella, Sanchez, Simeone, Sportiello, Thereau, Veretout, Vitor Hugo, Zekhnini No Saponara. No Días.

Quite direct football with high intensity before the goal. Exactly what Pioli asked for in the press conference if I recall correctly. After the goal we lost our mojo and allowed Udine to create chances. Simeone seems like he's going to go on a goal fest once he finds his groove. So many chances each game. Chiesa looking better and better each fixture. Might have to grab a kit with his name&number. Who knows if he'll stay this summer..
Pioli decides that it's better to defend for 13 minutes instead of searching for another goal. 7 players actively defending right now. We can't get into the final third because there is no back up for our attackers...jesus..
