The hungry and ambitious side returned to the top of the table (joint with Roma on 16 points) after a fifth victory in six games. After the straightforward 3-0 win against Lazio, the Women's Primaveragathered in the dugout for a rundown from Coach Corti, who has told them the way forward: "We showed some positive signs, but we can and must improve in some areas like the desire to win back the ball and the pace of our game to be a more complete team when we face more challenging opponents".
Like the Derby, which is the next game in the calendar. There will be time to prepare for it, even if you’re already thinking about it: "We will try to approach the game calmly and play some good football." So this is the Rossonere's philosophy. On Sunday the group demonstrated once again that they are strong and aware, with clear ideas: a dynamic 4-2-3-1 formation, with the ball on the ground, and very often moves that starts in the middle and then develops on the wings. The wings are one of the main weapons available to the team.
Paola Zanini, left back, scored twice from set piece moves. Erin Maria Cesarini, a winger on the same side, provided an assist for the first goal. Along with Elisa Crevacore, right-back, she set up Avallone's third goal. And Monica Renzotti pushed forward in both channels as a constant attacking threat. Cesarini, a former Lazio player, stressed to us: "I know my potential and I'm not very happy with my performance". Talk about hunger and ambition.
She added: "My adventure at AC Milan is going brilliantly, the environment is truly incredible. So far our season is going well." True, and they still have the desire to unite as a quality group before their toughest opponent yet in Inter, one place behind and fighting for the top spot in a highly-anticipated and important Derby.
