tired players!

I totally agree with Warro and I have said this in the past in other posts. No team can keep winning and why should we constantly have a go at the management and players who have won us so much. Yeah of course I'm disappointed we didn't beat Arsenal but for the good of the club I think it's better we went out of the Champions League now. Realistically I never expected us to win it again this year. We've turned our attention to it too much and are slowly losing ground in the race for the fourth place. In all honesty that was our only chance of getting into the Champions League next year.
Football goes in cycles. Milan may be coming to the end of their cycle, they may just be having a bad season, but tell me any other team who would not be over the moon to win what we have won in the last 5 years?

My manager and about 20 other people slaughtered me today for being a Milan fan. My manager said to me,
"Oh that's the end of your season now, looks like you've had a bad one".

I said back to him "We must be a very good team then if winning the European Super Cup, the World Club Cup, and becoming the most successful team internationally is a bad season. Can you remind me how many trophies you can still win again this year?"
Now that may have been a little bit arrogant, but I support AC Milan and I'm not going to have some one take the mickey out of my team because we lost.
Yeah we've not been great this season and part of me is glad we lost because I think that going out of the Champions League now is going to force the managements hand to buy in the summer. BUT!!! Please lets not forget everything that we have won this season alone and everything we have won in the past. No team can stay at the top for ever and I know that some people will say that we shouldn't have been out of the race for the league by December. I agree, but the management made the decision that making Milan the most successful team in the World at club level was the priority. They did that so I say well done to them.

People criticise how we haven't spent much on transfers, but to be fair we've bought Kaka, Bonera, Pato and Gourcouf all good young players with a lot of potential. Some have been given more chances then others but if the players don't take their chances why should they be played if it means it might compromise our position.
Yeah in hindsight at times it wouldn't have made it any worse, but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

I'm sure people will be calling for Ancelotti's head now as well, but look at how well Milan played when he first joined and when the team was younger. We were great. We changed peoples expectations of Italian football and swept teams aside.

To summarise, yes I agree we need to invest in new players but please let us not lose sight of everything these players, the manager, scouts, vice president and president has achieved for the team and for the fans. I started supporting AC Milan in the mid to late 80's if someone had told me then that we would win everything we have won, I would have taken it straight away. Sometimes we get spoiled by what is achieved and then we expect more. I'm not saying this is wrong but we sometimes need to take a step back to put it into perspective.



FORZA MILAN e Grazie Ragazzi!!!!!
