The Milan Futuro team secured a very important victory on Saturday, away at Sestri Levante, a direct opponent in the battle for survival. The Rossoneri fielded Alex Jimenez as a starter, as the full-back was suspended with the first team, as allowed by the regulations. This aspect infuriated Stefano Risaliti, president of the Ligurian club.
Risaliti's outburst, as relayed via Milannews.it:
"Jimenez can play in Serie C while he’s suspended in Serie A. Our coach, Ruvo, who was suspended earlier in the season when he was on the bench of a Serie D team, had to serve his two-match ban in Serie C and couldn’t lead us from the field against Campobasso and Ternana. Does that seem fair to you?"
Besides the Alex Jimenez's topic, Risaliti also intensified his criticism:
"That would already be enough, but there’s more. What’s happening with Lucchese is unbelievable: players and coaches haven’t seen a penny in five months, three ownership changes from January to today. The latest arrival has a history of failed attempts at saving teams in Catania and Latina. My club receives compliments from the Covisoc inspectors for how we follow financial regulations, while Lucchese, in January, when it was already clear that the club was financially in ruins, was allowed to conduct a transfer market and sign ten new players. This is a distorted league, I challenge anyone to argue otherwise!"
