Monday evening confirmed an inevitable reality for AC Milan. This season, they have not been up to the standard which should be demanded of themselves and the standard demanded by the fans. A report has now claimed that there is one final chance to keep the season from being a completely lost cause.
The past few weeks have been difficult – the two losses to AS Roma re-established cracks in Milan’s team, and the loss to Inter has only further damaged the situation, where the future seems destined to be under different hands than Stefano Pioli’s.
His final season will be remembered for the negatives, of course. Still, he has another chance to savour something in his tenure, and that would be earning an entrance into the Supercoppa by finishing second place.
As Gazzetta dello Sport writes, several goals have not been achieved this season, and now one remains, which would unlock some much-needed revenue for the club, if they are to gain a place in the competition.
Finishing second would be an improvement on last season, and it automatically unlocks a further €4 million than finishing third place. With a vital game approaching against Juventus, who could qualify for the Supercoppa by beating Lazio tonight, Pioli has one final chance to leave the Rossoneri with a good memory of his tenure.
Doesn’t look like Pioli can get this team to fight for anything anymore. Bitter end to his tenure.
Enter Supercoppa to get humiliated by Inter again. I don’t remember the last time we won against our “rivals”.
But it will be humiliation with a side dish of Saudi $$$.
We’ll have a new manager next season, so there’s much higher chance we can win under him
But it will be humiliation with a side dish of Saudi $$$.
Supercoppa is a bogus title that only fans on the internet care about. Fifa awards also a “fairness cup” to teams with few bookings – maybe we should start count those?
We lost the scuddetto, and the midtable european league (which we don’t belong in the first place). The only thing to play for now is cash
Ironically, that wouldn’t be Baresi’s Dream.
But, then again, never underestimate the power of a Pioli’s dream.
