AC Milan have as soon as once more discovered themselves in a really unsure state of affairs because the calendar yr attracts to an in depth, surrounded by poor outcomes and protests.
This morning’s version of La Gazzetta dello Sport took a journey into the difficulties that Milan are experiencing this season. Earlier than a ball was kicked they have been considered a robust squad, with massive ambitions, however up to now they’ve disillusioned all expectations barring possibly in Europe.
A non-existent type: At his first press convention, Paulo Fonseca had promised that his Milan facet would have possession-based and dominant type. As of December 17, nevertheless, the Portuguese coach’s revolution has not taken place.
His workforce play largely abnormal soccer with a typical system. With Stefano Pioli it was a 4-2-3-1 formation as it’s at present, however in contrast to up to now there appears to have been a big disconnect between the coach and the workforce.
The Leao thriller: Towards Genoa we noticed an nameless efficiency from Rafael Leao. The winger continues to alternate video games the place he’s decisive and appears stimulated to trigger terror with others the place he seems nearly accepting that he’s being marked out of the competition.
So what’s the downside? The paper fairly strongly declares that it appears as if Leao’s period at Milan has reached a pure finish because of put on and tear over six years between participant, membership and setting.
Inexperienced administration: Milan’s decision-making pyramid isn’t features as a result of it lacks a robust director with years of expertise within the administration facet of soccer within the financial institution. Giorgio Furlani is a company CEO, Geoffrey Moncada extra of a chief scout and Zlatan Ibrahimovic a rookie.
La Gazzetta level at Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio at Inter pretty much as good examples, plus Cristiano Giuntoli of Juventus even when he’s below stress. The Swede’s as a result of he appears to assume points might be addressed with jokes.
The summer season mercato: Trying again on the enterprise that Milan did to strengthen the squad, there are way more query marks than solutions. Strahinja Pavlovic, Emerson Royal, Alvaro Morata, Tammy Abraham and Youssouf Fofana all arrived.
Solely the French midfielder appears to have been a profitable buy, provided that the previous Monaco man is taking part in the precise position and doing it nicely. The others have even been absent or inconsistent.
