GdS: Furlani received apologies from FIGC and Lega Serie A after Bologna

In recent years, there has been little action taken by AC Milan when decisions have not gone their way. However, it appears this may have changed.

There has been a focus on sustainability in recent years at Milan, leading many to believe that the club is a business, rather than a football club. In fact, that view has been upheld several times, through the mercato, and even league rankings.

Over the past 18 months, there have been suggestions that a Scudetto squad is available. However, it has normally fallen back on the idea that things had to be done in a method that the club could afford, whilst profiting.

Furlani’s call

Tijjani Reijnders, for example, was a player to build around for years to come. He seemed like he would. However, after some interest from Manchester City, he was sold for a price that many still don’t agree with, furthering these beliefs that the Rossoneri do not have much backbone.

This has continued onto the pitch. With this weekend’s mistakes, it seems like things may change, though.

As Gazzetta dello Sport write, Giorgio Furlani, the club’s CEO, rang the FIGC and Lega Serie A to protest the penalty which was overturned by VAR. Both parties acknowledged the errors, with the FIGC president Gabriele Gravina even apologising publicly.

Perhaps, this could be a turning point.
