A four-goal win away to Torino further cemented AC Milan's position as the Serie A leader, but at the same time, there was discord within the squad.

As the team's top scorer last season, Frenchman Mane believes that even if the club brings in two strong reinforcements in the front line, Feng Quan and Mandzukic, he should occupy a starting position, after all, Mane, who likes to operate on the right side, does not conflict with Feng Quan and Mandzukic's position.

Even if Mihajlovic opted for a 4-4-2 formation in the game after suffering a "black start" in the league, Mane believes he should at least be the team's third choice in attack.

However, since starting the fifth round, Mane has not been able to get even a minute of playing time.

At first, Mane was a little dissatisfied with not being able to play, but because his left calf injury was greatly affected by the opponent's tackle in the game against Udinese, he silently accepted the team's arrangement.

However, when Mane had fully recovered from the injury in his left leg, he was surprised to find that he had been squeezed into the "fourth striker" position by El Shaarawy.

So, after AC Milan's win over Torino, while the rest of his team-mates were excited about the team's seven-game winning streak, Mane expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of game time in an interview.

Originally, due to the continuous use of the [Great God's Light] skill in the game, Feng Quan's "physical state value" has dropped to 73 points, although the "good" state can ensure that Feng Quan can play his level normally, but to a certain extent, it will increase his probability of injury.

Considering that the strength of Sassuolo, the opponent in the 9th round, is not very strong, even if Feng Quan is missing, as long as AC Milan can play normally, it should not be a problem to win the opponent at his home stadium, so Feng Quan wants to rest in this round.

In the normal order, Frenchman Mane was undoubtedly the first choice to replace Feng Quanquan, but after he publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the media, Mihajlovic immediately suspended Mane from training for one week and fined 10,000 euros.

In fact, if it weren't for the anxious Mane opening up to reporters, he would have played more and more minutes as the season progressed.

Although Mandzukic has been in good form since joining AC Milan, his relatively aggressive style of play is still relatively prone to injury.

Although the wind that spreads throughout the front court is not as strong as Mandzukic, he is clearly more physically exerted than most of his teammates in the game under the opponent's multi-player package.

In order to avoid injuries to the two strikers and keep them in good shape, Mihajlovic is ready to increase their rest time during the busy schedule.

With Feng Quan and Mandzukic resting in turn, Mane, who was AC Milan's top scorer last season, is undoubtedly the first choice in the forward rotation.

According to Mihajlovic's vision, Mane will get at least one start this season, and if you count the substitute appearances, he will make at least 30 appearances or more throughout the season.

Unfortunately, Mane's public expression of displeasure was not only punished by a fine and suspension from training, but also ruined his future at AC Milan.

Just a day after Mihajlovic announced the decision to punish Mane, the wind asked Galliani to inform Mane's agent that "Mane is no longer in AC Milan's future plans".

If it had been a week ago, Feng Quan's attitude might not have been so tough.

However, Niang, who returned from Genoa this season, had a good performance against Torino that strengthened the determination of the wind to "clean up" Mane.

In fact, even if Mene himself did not publicly express his displeasure as "to death", Feng Quan was ready to sell him the following summer.

Mane was the team's top scorer last season, but half of his 16 goals came from penalties, which were the highest in the netting rate.

Moreover, most of Mane's athletic goals came from the wings, and there were few goalmouth points in the box, and once the opponent seized on this characteristic and set up a targeted set-up, the Frenchman's attacking threat was greatly reduced.

If it's just a relatively simple means of shooting, Mane's solitary style of play often bothers his teammates who flank and receive in the middle. A lot of the time his teammates were in good positions, but Mane just didn't choose to pass.

Mane may still have a place in the team when the team lacks reliable attacking points, but after the arrival of strong reinforcements such as Feng Quan and Mandzukic, he needs more teammates who feed shells to the front court, rather than lone heroes who like to go it alone.

Although El Shaarawy is also a breakthrough striker, and due to his previous injury-plagued relationship, his strength and form are far less than at his peak, but unlike Mane, who likes to work alone, El Shaarawy can not only shoot himself, but also pass the ball to his central teammate at the right time.

What's more, El Shaarawy, who already has 4 years of experience in Serie A, is still under 23 years old.

In the 8 rounds of the league that have ended, Shaarawy, who has won 1 start and 5 substitute appearances, although unfortunately failed to contribute even a single goal or assist to the team, his performance in the limited playing time still satisfied Feng Quan and Mihai.

And, most importantly, although Al-Shaarawy was hungry for more playing time, when the morale of the team's winning players was high, he silently chose to train harder, rather than publicly expressing his dissatisfaction with too little playing time like Mane.

As a result, in AC Milan's home game against Palermo, El Shaarawy, who has been working silently, got the opportunity to start in place of Fengquan, while Mane, who "died", was very miserable and was "squeezed" out of the team by 17-year-old young striker Cutrone.

…………

Although Feng Quan chose to rest in the match with Sassuolo, AC Milan, whose morale is at its peak, still relied on the advantage of overall strength and easily grasped the initiative of the game.

In the 17th minute of the first half of the game, Shaarawy, who replaced Feng Quanquan in this game, burst into the penalty area and was about to hit the goal, but was directly tackled to the ground by Cannavaro Jr.

The referee, who was less than 10 metres from the scene of the incident, blew the whistle to award AC Milan a penalty and showed a yellow card to the foul Cannavaro Jr.

Although Sassuolo goalkeeper Consili made an accurate judgment, Pjanic's shot angle was too tricky, and Consili who fell to the ground had to helplessly watch the football rub against the post and drill into the goal.

Nineteen minutes later, Bonaventura's corner from the left helped Mandzukic make it 2-0.

Just when fans thought AC Milan would easily win the league eight at home, a low-level mistake by goalkeeper Diego López in the third minute of the second half turned the game that should have lost suspense.

At that time, Pjanic, who retreated to the front of the penalty area, was forced by the opponent's two forwards to safely choose to pass back.

Diego López, who received the ball on the edge of the penalty area, should have made the right choice to pass the ball to Felipe Luiz, who was unforced on the left, but perhaps it was the team's recent excellent results that gave him a burst of self-confidence, and he wanted to dribble past the opposing striker.

It's a pity that Berardi, who quickly pounced on the penalty area, directly cut off the football at the feet of Diego López.

However, just as Berardi was about to shoot, he was knocked down in the box by Diego López.

The next moment, the referee who rushed to the scene of the incident first awarded Sassuolo a penalty without hesitation, and then showed a red card to a helpless Diego López.

Diego López's death annoyed Mihajlovic, but when he was sent off, he had to replace Japan's Keisuke Honda with Donnarumma, who was not yet 17 years old.

For Donnarumma, who made his debut in Serie A, Berardi, who took the penalty, didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, the opponent was just a minor hairy child, not to mention being able to block his shot, I am afraid that he was already sweating nervously at the moment.

So, after a simple run of two steps, Berardi pushed the ball towards the right side of the goal.

Although Berardi's angle of the shot was good, because the ball speed was not very fast, it was directly blocked by Donnarumma, who was judged accurately.

If Sassuolo could have taken advantage of the opportunity to close the gap, they might have been able to salvage the deficit with their numerical advantage, but Berardi, who missed the penalty, not only missed the golden opportunity to close the gap, but also took a toll on the morale of his team-mates.

Although Sassuolo snatched control of the game from AC Milan by virtue of their numerical superiority, the few good chances they created were all denied by a formant Donnarumma who saved the penalty.

After defusing a number of dangerous attacks, Donnarumma also easily confiscated Sassuolo's wide cross from inside the box in the 27th minute of the second half, and then found Shaarawy with a long pass from the edge of the box.

Side-flanked Shaarawy first collided with Mandzukic not far away to get rid of Missiroli's marking, and then dribbled past Magnanelli at high speed and went to the edge of the penalty area slightly to the left.

In the face of Cannavaro Jr.'s defense, Shaarawy first pretended to continue to break through to the left, but after the opponent subconsciously shifted his center of gravity, he suddenly used his left foot to buckle the ball to the right side and quickly adjusted the direction of his body. Immediately afterwards, he quickly picked up his right foot and completed a curling ball near the big penalty line.

Although goalkeeper Consili pounced on the right side of the goal for the first time, he could only helplessly watch the football rub against the post and drill into the gate he guarded......
