AC Milan suffered defeat at the hands of Liverpool at San Siro on Tuesday night, meaning that they did not get their Champions League campaign off to the best start.
Things were going brilliantly when Christian Pulisic’s excellent shot put Milan a goal up inside three minutes, but Konate and Van Dijk headed in set pieces to give Liverpool a half-time lead, then Szoboszlai made sure of the points in the second half as the game ended 3-1.
Below are how the front pages of the Italian papers have responded to the result…
La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Milan booed. Liverpool win, San Siro boos. Pulisic goal, then the collapse. Fonseca, nightmare derby.”
Corriere dello Sport: “Milan booed, Ibra shouts. Liverpool overturn Fonseca, ahead through Pulisic: 1-3, goals from Konaté, van Dijk and Szoboszlai. Maignan out. Torriani, 19, makes his debut. Zlatan: ‘I am the boss’.”
Tuttosport: “Red Devils, Milan chaos. Pulisic illudes, then Liverpool unleash. Fonseca, the derby is decisive. Konaté, van Dijk and Szoboszlai seal the comeback, there is also room for Chiesa at the end. Maignan, ko nd the tears, debut for the 19-year-old Torriani. The defeat reopens the cracks. The fans protest. Ibra harsh: ‘I am the boss here’.”
Complete circus show, from start to finish. San Siro half full because of prices and poor streak in Serie A. Zlatan bragging in press conference. Players arriving in Offwhite jackets like they’re modelling for the fashion week. Ridiculous performance. The injury prone goalkeeper is injured again and now a kid plays in UCL because the management didn’t sign a backup (kudos to Torriani though). Then Fonseca criticizes his players. This club is so stinky that’s really painful. Now please Jerry bring the cheerleaders, flying jets over the stadium and XXL diet coke, this is what Milan needs.
I know it’s not in your nature but you could try and see something positive with Torriani. Instead of Moncada going through his notebooks from 5 years ago, Milan opted to take a risk with the goalkeepers and stick with the youngsters they’ve got.
Gigio was 16 when he was introduced to the big boys’ games. Torriani is 19. He has done well in the friendlies and yesterday. At least he’s given the chance to show what he’s made of. Who knows, maybe he won’t concede 5 in the derby and we’ll live to see another day. And even if he does concede the 5 goals it’s probably due to more serious issues in the club.
exactly. I would rather see players like Torriani, Zeroli and Liberali given a chance.
Man some were speaking about this here not long ago. Fans would understand that it’s risky to compete in Serie A and UCL with an often injured goalkeeper and no backup but professional executives couldn’t think about it. Amateur hour.
Donnarumma played in an average Milan team that didn’t compete for anything, not qualified in Europe, and he had rookie mistakes, which is normal. But I guess we are back at the same point now, going backwards. Enjoy your own nature, enjoy the ride.
Sadly the fans should get used to it, it’s gonna be a long season
Derby is decisive? For what exactly? What decision are we waiting for?
Fonseca to be fired?
Whats gonna change really?
The r3tards that hired Fonseca are still there..
They are just gonna bring another loser till we finish somewhere in the relegation fight.
Fonseca isnt the problem. Its the symptom.
Problem is the management!
We should Get furlani and the entire management fired first before deciding anything.
Hate to agree with you but I do, this have been very clear since Maldini was fired after the CBS Interview where he said the club have to take the next step and invest to get to the next level. Club didn’t share that ambition, unfortunately for us we gonna be stuck here until ambition at the top changes. Its really sad to because at that time the club had everything line up to take the next step. Mentality was right, Economy was right. All we needed to to was keep the management, invest in a proper coach and in stead of rebuilding the team we just needed couple of stars and we would be competing with inter right now.
Ibrahimovic and the entire management team at Ac Milan are the worst and the most useless set of football managers in the whole world,no wonder they hired a ridiculous visionless and daft incompetent Coach who’s CVS are full of failures and sacks everywhere he goes to coach Milan at this crucial moment, it’s been shameful and disastrous performances match after match
Even if they do fire him who are they gonna get in?
Low cost ofc. Not a single name offers anything better..
Show balls and hire Juric? Not gonna happen.
Media are talking about Allegri right now… Short term crafting is the new Milanismo.
That’s a load of bull. Max is a high salary coach. And personally if we do hire him I’m done. Not worth the effort. The weird owner, the silly management, the soulless players. And a shît coach I highly dislike to top it off? Not worth the effort.
Not worth to even watch a match. Maybe is better, watching sports is just a waste of time. Bread and circus.
I used to love football. In the last 5 years my interest in it has declined to a point I feel it’s more off a chore to watch football than anything else..
I rather do sports than watch sports anyway
What do they know? And how does RedBird operate? So in addition to paying two coaches they’d pile up a huge amount of money on Allegri? LOL. NEVER. GOING. TO. HAPPEN.
If they won’t spend over 20M€ on a single player, they won’t pay 20M€ on coaches either.
I really hope you’re right.
Pioli has been appointed as the new Al Nassr coach, so we’re just paying Fonseca from now on.
The right Portuguese on Conceicao. Sarri should be on the list too.
Think both of them don’t have a low salary
Really bad start to the season. The management did not reinforce the team with what we needed. It was more of an impulsive purchase of players and coach. Just like last year, not enough research into the players they bought. Wrong purchase after wrong purchase. The only thing that is important for the club is that it must be cheap. Some say that the club had spend 200m on new players in last two years. Unfortunately, many of the players have underperformed and not worth that money. They replaced Pioli with a worse coach who doesn’t know how to fix things. We have the worst defensive chain we ever had in history. All teams can score against us. Now we also have a half-empty stadium and sales of soccer jerseys have also gone down. Who wants to use their money on overpriced tickets to see the team get run over. I am not optimistic about the next game against Inter. I have no faith in this team. I hope that we do not run into a record defeat as the defense is so bad that many goals can be scored against us. Everything is wrong with this management. I hope that they don’t ruin this club to much. Forza Milan
