AC Milan have been likened to a ‘black hole’ after their most recent negative result and performance against Monza by Corriere della Sera today.
The newspaper (via Radio Rossonera) writes that while it is true that up until before Monza-Milan the performance was in line with the Scudetto season, it is equally urgent to also underline the more worrying.
At present Milan have conceded 31 goals, the same as in the entire 2021-22 season, while they have already lost five games compared to the four they lost in the title-winning campaign.
The defensive solidity seems lost, the midfield is incapable of breaking things up and the strategy of scoring more than the opponents is based on a thin line which, depending on the incidents, can change the game in an instant.
To reinforce this thesis, it is worth pointing out the numerous individual errors which led to Monza scoring four. For the paper, the feeling is that everything that is built can be destroyed at any moment.
They write: ‘The most effective image is that of a black hole that swallows everything, destroying everything that is built’.
The alternation between Milan A and Milan B (the starts and the reserves) is bringing poor results, along the lines of what happened last year, while discipline has become an issue too after the sixth red card of the season.
The two matches against Napoli and Rennes had given positive signs, with two consecutive clean sheets and a good show of solidity from the defensive department, but the trip to the U-Power Stadium promptly proved it to be a false dawn.
If Milan want to try to stay at least third and go as far as possible in the Europa League, a sudden turning point is needed, starting from the key men of the team, from careful management of the two competitions and a more effective defensive phase.
