Milan is likely playing its last cards of the season in an attempt to secure a Champions League spot tonight at 20:45 at San Siro against Lazio, on the occasion of the 27th round of the Serie A Enilive campaign. The Rossoneri must necessarily claim all three points after the defeat against Bologna, but above all, because nearly all their direct rivals have secured positive results.
Before the match, Milan's CEO Giorgio Furlani spoke to DAZN’s microphones. Here are his full statements:
Second tier empty: fans' mood is clear... How do you evaluate the season?
"At the start of the season, expectations were high, and the conditions were there. We haven’t done what we wanted to do so far. To be completely honest, the report card is decidedly insufficient, despite the Supercoppa. We must look ahead; we cannot go back. We need to finish the season with honor, starting from tonight."
Internally, have you found an answer?
"When performances are this far below expectations, there isn’t just one culprit: the truth is, we are all somewhat responsible. I certainly include myself in that. The disappointment the fans feel is the same one we feel, both in the club and the team—I feel it too."
How much truth is there in the rumors about a sporting director? Any names?
"As I said, we need to significantly improve our sporting results. If there are figures we can bring into the club who will help us achieve the results we want, we will consider them. At the moment, no decision has been made regarding this position."
Heavy atmosphere? Furlani commented:
"We are all disappointed with the performances, but we are also united: only through unity can we get out of this unpleasant situation. There is no Furlani-Ibrahimović issue, no issue regarding the coach or his potential replacement... Right now, we are all focused on working hard, staying strong, and finishing the season in the best possible way."
