Milan's birthday was ruined last night due to the draw against Genoa.
Last night's match marked a definitive rift between the club and the Rossoneri fanbase, which last night unleashed a loud protest, both inside and outside San Siro.
What did the AC Milan fans do last night?
Among the chants of dissent, one stood out more than the others: "We are not Americans": a clear message directed at the current ownership and the way RedBird is managing the club.
Outside the stadium, the most passionate section of the Rossoneri supporters displayed a banner expressing their deep disappointment.
It reads:
“We’ve had enough of your mediocrity."
This club belongs to the Milanisti. The Rossoneri are not a corporate asset. In short, as La Gazzetta dello Sport writes, this is the message the fanbase sought to deliver to the Rossoneri leadership, which is no longer tolerated, even by those who had been patient and given their trust.
Hopes were high that the team, on the occasion of the club’s 125th anniversary, would show a burst of pride.
Instead, the contrast was stark between the legion of legendary Rossoneri players in the stands for the celebration of the club's 125 years and the squad on the pitch, which failed to break through the defensive wall erected by Genoa.
In the meantime, with yesterday’s draw, the Rossoneri team has slipped to eighth place in the standings, though there are still those who believe everything is fine.
Milan's Fonseca is satisfied...
It might seem paradoxical, but it isn’t. Paulo Fonseca is pleased—pleased with the performance his team delivered yesterday. This is the same coach who, on Wednesday after the Milan - Red Star match, expressed harsh criticism of his players—or, rather, of a select group of them.
