Just as it happened during last week's Milan - Genoa match, the Curva Sud, in agreement with AIMC, chooses to continue their strike. Even in tonight's Milan-Cagliari match, there will be no chants, nor will the usual banners and flags be displayed. The organised supporters have once again explained their choice with a fanzine distributed today outside San Siro.
"The Noise of Silence
We had the intention and the necessity that our questions, which we believe are the ones every Milan fan has been asking for weeks, would be well received by the ears they were addressed to, and the best way to achieve this result was to ask them in silence, making the Sud curve and the vast majority of San Siro mute, which responded with participation and conviction to our protest.
Without wanting to point fingers at anyone and without seeking culprits, we wanted to highlight and remind the management where a winning project starts from: it starts from a cohesive and compact society in every aspect, ambitious and not satisfied with reaching the top 4 because Milan was born to win, to excel by fighting with all its might and because "those who settle for less, enjoy less" does not apply to Milan and the Milan project starts from a company that is capable of moving confidently in every field: from the game to the transfer market, from institutional headquarters to the media where too often Milan, both team and organization, has been treated disrespectfully and unfairly precisely due to the lack of an effective communication strategy, which must then be combined with a secure, reliable, and careful planning concerning the technical area and the team staff for the coming seasons.
For this reason, we chose silence, to give more power to our questions, to give the greatest emphasis possible to what we ask for and what seems to us the indispensable basis for returning to compete to win and not simply to participate, as sadly happened in these two years after the wonderful and unforgettable championship of 2022.
In the surreal atmosphere of a San Siro witnessing another match born from this sad period and well before the partial Rossoneri comeback, we decided to leave at the eightieth minute of the match, leaving the Curva Sud completely deserted adorned only with the banner "THE NOISE OF SILENCE", whose shocking sight expressed all the anger we have inside in seeing a Milan that has been playing without determination for too long, which is content to linger in the league positions sufficient to guarantee a place in the Champions League but it is not what we want because we are not satisfied, because Milan is not satisfied like any provincial team: the team with the most Champions League trophies after Real Madrid cannot limit itself to participating like any other team in the most important club competition of all.
Our silence made noise, our silence demands concrete answers, our silence is a desperate cry of love, it is the cry of those who are ready to do anything for their Milan and it is the task of those who lead and command Milan not to squander the strength and passion of the Sud curve and the Rossoneri people.
Milan is supported by its thousands of fans who historically NEVER failed to show their support, especially in the darkest moments, and the great responsibility of the ownership is to give these people a Milan that lives up to its name, a Milan that always aims for the most ambitious goals if only for the fact of being called MILAN.
How can we settle? How can we be satisfied with a goal that in certain places is historic but for Milan is the minimum?
We sang only one chorus last Sunday and it was our anthem, a cry so overwhelming that it tore through San Siro and silenced the Genoese (we finally heard them...), it was the song of a Curva that asks for the same crazy love for Milan that it is capable of, that asks those who lead Milan to be in love with it, to have Milan in their hearts to build one that returns to see the stars.
We pose our questions to an ownership that has experienced firsthand, that has seen and breathed in a delirious square everything we call "Milanismo," an ownership called to give answers and that holds the fate of Milan in its hands: do not betray our love and our trust, because in this way you will always have us by Il Diavolo side and with Milan in our hearts.
MILAN - CAGLIARI
For this match too, we will continue our protest, continuing to remain silent and without displaying banners and flags. We will continue to make noise with our silence, all together with Milan in our hearts".
