AC Milan's ex legendary player, Ruud Gullit, who wrote pages in the Rossoneri's history, spoke in an interview about Massimiliano Allegri's Milan and how they are doing so far this season:
"Winning the Serie A title? Milan, I don't know if they can," he told Videogamer. "There’s a lot of teams that are not at their best at the moment. I think that Inter have done really well in the last couple of years. Also Juventus are struggling as well. Also, Roma, there’s a lot of teams that are struggling. Napoli have done well but previously they lost in Holland to PSV. So therefore, it’s a little bit strange at the moment in Italy. I still think that Italian teams can play some good football. Also with Milan, they’ve got new owners which doesn’t help. They will have different views on players, so therefore that’s also a project. Maybe we will have to wait for a while to see what’s going on."
Which Italian team will go furthest in the Champions League?
"Inter have done well in the competition previously. They’ve been really consistent also. So therefore the only one that has a chance."
Gullit added:
"Juve are also struggling and they were always a powerhouse, but they’re struggling at the moment. Milan, Roma also have been up there for a long time already. But it all depends on what kind of money these teams can spend. At the moment, the English Premier League is on top and therefore everybody goes there."
I was hoping Zirkzee would go to Milan
Gullit also spoke about Joshua Zirkzee, who was linked with Milan in the past before his move to Manchester United...
"I think from my point of view that he should have stayed in Italy because he was really striving. He was really doing well at Bologna and I was hoping that he would go to Milan. I think that as soon as he went to Man Utd, it was the wrong decision. I mean, for a lot of players, moving to Man Utd has been the wrong decision. And whoever leaves them, plays well everywhere around Europe. I just hope that there’s a solution for him. Go back to Italy if you can on loan or whatever. Just play football. He’s a good player. But at the moment, it’s difficult at Man Utd. They found a little form in the past couple of weeks and I hope for Man Utd that they continue that. Because a good Man Utd is good for the Premier League as well."
