AC Milan vs. AC Fiorentina 29/09/2019 Serie a Week 6

[Sputnik]

Since 2006 I only missed one match because I was literally behind bars. However tonight, I officially gave up on this Milan willingly even though I was 2 mins away from home.

And man am I glad I decided to not watch this humiliation, against Montella's Fiorentina, which makes the humiliation 10 times worse.

We shall meet again after GP is gone.

this is how it feels

Unfortunately.

You should have faith. We are going to be alright. 




We will win the relegation battle.

i am having faith since 2007. I am dying sooner than see Milan be the old one again :-)

[am I Milan enough?]

Paolo Maldini on Sky
“We chose the Coach, we will defend him, it is right to give him some time. We knew there were some problems that we’d run into, although obviously we didn’t expect to lose four of the first six games, but also the quality of the football is unsatisfactory.

“Right now, it might look like a tunnel with no light, but as our Coach said, the way out is with hard work. We knew that relying on a young squad, during the period when we are waiting for the Coach to really become a leadership figure, there could be a risk of the pressure getting to them.

“Of course, it is the fault of the players, the club, the Coach, everyone. Last season, we finished one point off the Champions League places and they always supported us.

“I think the fans were right this evening to protest. The responsibility is to be shared around, otherwise it becomes too much of a burden to bear.

“We are only six rounds in, all is not lost. We know that in football, situations can turn rapidly. The worrying thing is that we saw such a downturn in performance from the Torino game on Thursday.

“It’s strange, because we played very well during pre-season and showed good organisation. There started to be some traffic in the central area of the field, causing some tactical problems and difficulty in moving the ball around.

“Explaining such a big setback in performance over three days is difficult, unless you realise that was played in Turin and this is at San Siro.

“This is a very prestigious jersey with a lot of history behind it and some of the players are very young, not yet able to support the history of it. That can be difficult.”

Paolo agrees its only game no 6

Marco Giampaolo on Sky

“I take responsibility, of course, but I go forward because I believe in my ideas. The thing that annoyed me was the team looked like it turned up to San Siro without ever having a training session together. You can lose, but not like that.

“Up until three days ago, I liked the performance and saw good responses against Torino. Tonight, the pressure got to them, they felt the absolute need to win and I told them to play with all the right ingredients to win, not waiting for events to happen. We had to create the events ourselves.

Whose job is it to put his ideas into practice both in training sessions and actual games? Perhaps if the coach didn't back down from his original plan at the first obstacle, the players would believe in it too.

Will MG finally figure out how to break a five man mid?

Will he consider benching Piatek and let Leao start?

Will Suso and Calhanoglu get pulled?

We have a young team. We will get better. Just not sure CL is realistic which is crazy because our team is better than last year. Main difference is Suso is not tearing up the league at the start like he did last year. Tough to watch.

[am I Milan enough?]

so how many games left for MG?

[millinarios]

Where are the fans who said we should trust Maldini's choice, that Giampaolo is an undiscovered tactical genius, hail Gazidis Boban and trust the blah blah blah?

Who said we should follow the advices of a Sacchi with some very serious dementia?

Who enjoys this crapfest that is Elliott Milan?
