The Curva Sud will continue their protest against the AC Milan management during tomorrow night’s game against Cagliari at San Siro, it has been confirmed.
According to what is being reported by MilanNews, the protests that took place during the draw against Genoa last Sunday was not an isolated incident and instead there will be more tomorrow night in the Cagliari game.
The usual banners and flags will not be displayed and the usual chants will not be sung as the fan group hope to make a point regarding the lack of clarity and a perceived lack of ambition from the ownership.
The Curva Sud explained the reasons for this silent protest in a fanzine delivered to the stadium last week, and some of the key passages of it can be read below.
“We are at the end of a mediocre and disappointing season which could have had a better ending but all possible mistakes were made, even on the bench, to end it in the worst possible way.
“We suffered elimination from the Europa League by an Italian club and no voice was raised by the club to say anything to a Rossoneri people who, once again, had believed in it and had pushed Milan until the final whistle.
“We saw the sh**s celebrating the title in the derby and we had to listening to words from the Rossoneri management that made us furious, because there really is a limit to everything.
“Now, however, our patience is over, because we believe that in these 2 years we have given maximum trust to the club and maximum support to the team and the time has come for clarity, to finally know what the real intentions of the owners are.
“If their ambitions really coincide with those of the AC Milan fans who today are tired of just having to participate, of having to settle for a Champions League placement when the history and tradition of AC Milan demands and deserves much more.
“It wasn’t easy to decide not to display our banners and wave our flags, but it’s right to show what San Siro could become when you push the AC Milan fans to the limit, when you underestimate the love and loyalty of a fan base capable of helping the team to win the extraordinary title 2 years ago, thanks to the creation of a perfect union between those who took to the pitch and those who were in the stands.
“You have enjoyed our faith, you have seen the incessant support of a people madly in love, you know how many of us there are and what we are ready to do for our Milan: what more do you need to take those steps that every Milan fan asks of you?
“What are you waiting for to answer with facts, not with chatter, to the questions that every AC Milan fan asks you, suffering and cheering for that AC Milan which is not a brand, not a company, which is not a factory but which is, instead, entirely his life?
“Evaluate and choose your future steps carefully, there is no more time to waste dear gentlemen, if you want to continue to have the unparalleled support of all the Rossoneri people who always and only have Milan in their hearts!”
