Fabio Capello pulled no punches in his assessment of AC Milan’s defeat against Liverpool at San Siro last night, calling them a team that are ‘incapable of making three passes’.
Milan’s European campaign got off to a bad start as they were not only beaten 3-1 by Liverpool in front of a home crowd that was far from capacity due to ticket sales, but they were dominated in the game and there were very few positives.
Christian Pulisic gave the Rossoneri the lead but Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai all struck for the away side as they came away with the three points.
The 3-1 scoreline eradicates all of the momentum that might have been built from the 4-0 home win over Venezia on Saturday and Paulo Fonseca and the players are now under a lot of pressure after leaving the field amid boos.
Capello covered the game on Sky and he provided his post-match thoughts after what was another negative night and performance from the Rossoneri, with MilanNews relaying his comments.
“I feel sunk watching this Milan, without reaction, incapable of making three passes. They continue to play football attached to the goalkeeper, who touched the ball more than Morata,” he said.
“Without courage you don’t go anywhere. Then it is clear that everyone plays but there is no leader. Do you know who was the leader tonight? Abraham.
“Leao’s only play came at the end. You have a player who can cause problems for the opponents and you don’t serve him. The first ball touched came in the 20th minute. All this makes me have little faith in this Milan.”
