Spal-Milan: Player Performance Analysis and Baldini Criticism

GALEOTTI 6,5. In the first half he keeps Spal in the game with good interventions. He takes a risk at the end.

BRUSCAGIN 5. In trouble like everyone else. Traore bothers him. Inaccurate throws.

ARENA 5,5. A little better, a slip in the second half was providential.

CORNFLOWER 4,5. The penalty is perplexing: it is Chaka who is looking for his legs. That said, we must be more cautious with an opponent who falls back outside the area. Against Milan, then, we must not even give the excuse. He makes other mistakes, too.

CALAPAI 4,5. Impalpable.

WILL PAY 4. Never so bad. Always late, leaves central gaps for Milan's one-twos. Comes off at half-time for technical reasons.

NADOR 5. He is the one who gives the first ball, then in the long run he is among the least bad. At least in the second half he makes his physicality count. But the first half is terrible.

TENTS 6. He always does his duty. In the first half he avoids a very likely goal with a split.

THORNS 4. Evanescent and light as a feather. He also puts in good will, but he just isn't there.

MILL 5. The only one to fight properly in the first half, even if the results are very modest, with zero incisiveness. The referee quickly takes aim at him.

PARISIANS 4. He takes few with Spal all contracted backwards, and those few he doesn't transform into gold.

HAOUDI 4,5. It's Baldini's latest invention, but he doesn't change. He carries the ball too much and loses the timing of the game, he lets some poisonous turnovers slip and in the end he does nothing.

AWUA 5. He enters at half-time with Haoudi and adds nothing.

ANTENUCCI 5,5. He comes on after an hour of play and can do little or nothing more in a confusing context.

KARLSSON 4,5. He replaces Molina: he never gets it.

ZAMMARINI n.

MASTRODOMENICO 4. We didn't need him, Spal was enough to lose. But he was there too. An hour of one-way traffic, and not pro-Spal.

BALDINI 4. If this is the charge he can transfer to a timid team, good luck with his return… Haoudi tries the unexpected and unfortunate card.
