The defeat against Atalanta on Sunday has left its mark at the Rossoneri club, where everyone is under fire, with no exceptions: from the management to the coach, all the way to the squad. Yesterday, around lunchtime, a summit took place at Casa Milan involving CEO Giorgio Furlani, sporting director Igli Tare, and all the heads of the club’s various departments to address the crisis the Diavolo are going through. And for once, they were all in agreement: in this difficult moment, all disagreements and individualism must be set aside, and everyone must remain united and cohesive.
This morning, Corriere della Sera reports that the negative results of recent weeks (just 7 points from 8 matches) have greatly complicated the race for qualification to next season’s Champions League, which had seemed almost secured already. Failing to finish in the top four would be a sporting disaster and, above all, an economic one, which would in turn create a €100 million shortfall that would have extremely serious consequences for the transfer market and therefore for next season’s plans. If this objective is not achieved, there will be a revolution affecting every area of Milan, where everyone is now under scrutiny.
AC Milan in chaos...
Meanwhile, after yesterday’s rest day, the team will return to training today, and Max Allegri will repeat the message he already expressed in the San Siro dressing room: "This is not who we are, we will start winning again." The problem is that the signs coming from the squad are far from positive: the entire group is in disarray, and many players already seem to have their minds on the World Cup or next season. The only person who can drag Milan out of this crisis is the Livorno-born coach with his experience. Will he manage to get the 'Diavolo' back on their feet for the final two matches of the season?
