In recent years, the ambitions of Milan have constantly changed. From just getting into the top four to fighting for the Scudetto and back, it’s been a wave of expectations. Unfortunately, the Rossoneri have very rarely delivered.
It’s difficult, of course. However, it has proven to be costly before and it could do so again. This season, the aims have returned to the Scudetto fight and with large-scale investment from Gerry Cardinale, the pressure is on for the team to deliver.
De Winter’s press conference
There is a saying that pressure makes diamonds, and De Winter is one of those who could be moulded by that pressure this season. Indeed, he is happy to fight for titles as he told the media alongside Ruben Amorim this morning, as MilanNews relayed.
