Chants aimed at Cardinale, management and players: Curva Sud protest at 125-year party

AC Milan’s 125th anniversary party tonight was meant to be a celebration, but it was marred by protests from the Curva Sud and other fans.

There is a private party taking place tonight to celebrate 125 years of history, in the Tortona area of ​​the city. The Curva have chosen to make their voices heard again, after last night when the stadium booed the team and chanted against the management and the club.

They displayed a banner outside, and MilanNews have live blogged what happened as various invitees arrived starting with chants towards Gerry Cardinale: “Cardinale you must sell!”

Then some legends arrived such as Frank Rijkaard, Marek Jankulovski, Filippo Galli, Mauro Tassotti, and Alexandre Pato. France Baresi, the honorary vice-president, was warmly applauded.

When Francesco Camarda rocked up, applause and chants immediately broke out: “We want 11 Camardas”.

Paulo Fonseca arrived with his wife and children. The Curva Sud did not react to the Rossoneri coach: neither whistles nor applause.

Sky that the Rossoneri management arrived at the event by entering through a secondary entrance, thus avoiding encountering fans outside the venue.

More players began to arrive and there was applause for Christian Pulisic, who arrived with his partner Alexa Melton and thanked the fans.

Upon the arrival of Fikayo Tomori, Tammy Abraham, Davide Calabria, Marco Sportiello and Alvaro Morata, the Curva Sud chanted: “Show some balls.”

The Curva sang a chant for “those who didn’t show up” (referring to the directors who entered through a side entrance) and added: “This management must go.”

Rafael Leao got a surprisingly negative reaction as “Show some balls” and “respect our colours” were chanted. Tijjani Reijnders, Youssouf Fofana and Mike Maignan arrived and were applauded, but Theo Hernandez got some heat too.

  1. “…the Rossoneri management arrived at the event by entering through a secondary entrance, thus avoiding encountering fans outside the venue.”

    Never have I seen anything like this from any of Milan’s previous leaderships. Bunch of spineless, cowardly chickensh*ts.

    1. where was the curva sud when Maldini was sack bunch of clueless fan. why didn’t they protest over him getting sack now the real clowns are out and the want a change over night.

      1. Exactly.
        Where was their statement then. They choose to be quiet and support this management then. They should be quiet now too.

      2. You must be new to Milan if you don’t know Maldini’s history with the Curva Sud. He got booed off the field in his final game for us.

  2. The most pathetic management of all time. They’re actively destroying the club and are not even shy about it. There are countries where what Curva Sud is doing would be considered mild and different kinds of actions would’ve been taken long time ago.

    1. To be honest I’ve always felt that the curva sud has been pretty mild in how their approach ownerships messing up things. I’ll suggest them to turn it up several notches and the next time block all exit points of San Siro and let them know what they really think about them.
      But yeah if this had been in some places in the Balkans or in Poland they probably should have feared for their lives.

        1. Nah in worst case scenario it would be civil disobedience which in EU is nothing special according to the law. It would max cost a fine and maybe a night in the slammer.

  4. Never liked redbird and happy now that the curva is protesting them.i always couldn’t stomach reading ‘moneyball’. Like an American knows more about the sport than the Italians themselves

  5. More idiotic, Xenophobic BS from Curva Sud and fools like them. Moneyball has nothing to do with anything, it’s a baseball book. And it was American ownership that brought this club it’s first Scudetto in 10 years… You’re welcome.
    Remind me of all the great Italian owned clubs…?

    2. Lol 😂😂😂 where have you been? Enjoying 8th?
      Also you do understand Billy Beane, the Moneyball guy, is a transfer advisor for us .hence the link

      PS I dont care much for xenophobia either.
      They should be protesting incompetence, not Americans

        1. Making up a lot of stuff tonight are you Krunic Heir ? Billy Beane is not dead the guy is 62 years old and still very much alive.

          1. Billy Beane connected to money ball is still alive and 62 years old.
            Billy Bean another baseball player was 60 and is dead but a different person.

        3. Bro the dude is alive wtf lol 😂. I just checked. An article like about a year or so ago said he was a transfer advisor to the club

      2. Clearly not as much as you are enjoying it. Nobody is happier when the team drops points than you… A true fan.

        Moneyball has nothing to do with football. It’s a book about baseball. They are apples and oranges. He’s an analytics guy, show me a club in the world that doesn’t use analytics these days. He was just one of the first to use it. But I guess just saying moneyball over and over again is some kind of coherent argument? Smart people on here.

        1. Oh I get it now. So when ppl try to tell you we suck and the team follows it up by sucking that means we like when the team drops points lol nice warped logic buddy.

    3. Objectively, this thing is coming off the rails.

      Cardinale put the club on an exceptional financial platform but then entrusted it to be run by a poor team without any evidence of synergy or vision. I have ZERO faith that the same conglomerate that decided Fonseca was the answer would fire him and bring in someone actually better.

      This fiasco so far is on Gerry to fix. Maybe if we’re lucky he can’t repay the loan and Milan gets repossessed again.

      1. Sure Giancarlo. How about the club at the top of Serie A right now. Atalanta.
        Or the current Scudetto winners Inter.
        How about Liverpool, Arsenal or Cheslea?
        All doing pretty good I would say.
        Still waiting to hear about all the great Italian owned clubs.

    5. I personally don’t care about them being American or not, but we surely got the short end of the stick when it comes to american ownership. When we compare our case to Liverpool, Arsenal and even Inter (although their new owners just took the club), no one can make a serious argument for our case, maybe a bit on the financial side, but so far in terms of sports results and even long terms prospect, we have nothing to show for.

  6. Said this was coming, don’t say we didn’t tell you so…who was realistic or just constantly negative…for the sake of it..these owners have to go, ASAP

  7. #Cardinaleout – The American may have owned the team when the won a single scudetto but everything was done by Maldini and Massara they sat back and signed off on it. These idiots unfortunately think they are smarter than everyone and took a scudetto winning team and moneyballed them to mid table. You buy bang average players and you get bang average results. Instead of adding quality pieces they dismantled the team. Get these Americans idiots out. We can stop buying their crap merchandise and stop going to the games. That’s the only way this guy will take notice by hitting him in the pocket. Let’s make them uncomfortable week in and week out.

  8. I wonder if they anticipated this thing was gonna get REEEEEAL ugly before it started clicking under Fonseca… Is this going to any sort of a plan?

    We don’t know, because they won’t come out and say what the vision or the plan actually is…

  10. Harassing Leão was unfair, as he has improved a lot his work rate and team work, and has now collected 11 seasonal goal participations which is exactly the same number that Pulisic has collected. Our problem is most definitely not Leão.

    And they were silent when Fonseca came in? He deserves enormous criticism. If I were there I’d have jeered him.

    Of course the cowardly managers had to get in through a side entrance. What a bunch of despicable clowns! And the owner didn’t even show up. These people are destroying AC Milan.

    1. Well you’re a stunade, he’s doing the best with what he has been given. Would you have whistled Ancelotti for his 7 years and 1 Scudetto as well?

      1. How may trophies has those plastic clubs won in the last 20 years and how many has milan won in the last 20 years…… what’s the use of history if we end up like Nottingham forest who has an history of European glory??? history are meant to be maintained by add more to achievements….

        1. Well in the last 20 years Man City and PSG combined haven’t won more than us in Europe. They might have more domestically though

          1. Someone who reads this now would think we’ve won more than 1 European trophy which was like 18 years ago😂😂😂😂… same number Man city without history has won…. even Chelsea has now won 2 .. and the people we’re supposed to be behind has almost doubled their European glory while Milan has remained stagnant….. I guess its normal for fans now to associate themselves to mediocrity and not have ambitions to be and beat the best … so I’m not surprised as the excuses fans always make for them
