The date and time for AC Milan’s Coppa Italia quarter-final against Roma has been officially confirmed today by Lega Serie A.
A statement on the official website has now confirmed that the last eight tie against the Giallorossi will be played on Wednesday 5 February at 21:00 CET at San Siro. It will therefore fall after the return derby against Inter and before an away trip to face Empoli.
After beating Sassuolo 6-1 in the Round of 16, Milan’s path will therefore continue with the match against the team from the capital. It will be a one-off game, with the winner to meet Inter or Lazio in the semi-finals in what will be a two-legged affair.
Claudio Ranieri’s Roma beat Sampdoria 4-1 in the last round of the cup. Artem Dovbyk scored twice, with Tommaso Baldanzi and Eldor Shomurdov also scoring against their opponents from Serie B.
Milan are looking for their second bit of silverware under Sergio Conceicao after winning the Supercoppa Italiana earlier this month out in Saudi Arabia.
How funny would it be to beat inter twice in a row for a trophy in the final😂 but I have my doubts rn👀 let’s get some results in Serie a then those doupts will vanish
Such is the irony in sport. Pioli was very good in the league, sucked as a cup coach (for the most part, UCL semi aside). While now we’ve had two good cup coaches and we’ve sucked in the league. Pick your poison at this point it seems (well Sergio still has a TBD for league performance). PS the league takes priority as that brings you the chance to play in more cups.
Conceição is also a good league coach and his track record proves it. We will not see the best of Conceição until next season when we do some transfers to build the team for his preferred 442 formation. Milan will be playing similar to Atletico Madrid. Good defensively and good counterattacking football.
Unfortunately Milan incompetent management team didn’t get Conceição last summer and now we are paying for it. We will most likely finish 4th or 5th this season but several players need to go.
Abraham, RLC, Calabria , Bennacer, Jovic and Chukwueze will be replaced next summer.
Yep like I said his league form for Serie is TBD (to be determined). But I can only wish him well. If love to see what I saw from the Porto games applied to this team. It would be great. Don’t get me started on management smh 🤦♂️. What an embarrassment. Can’t believe people still fall for their ineptitude
We shouldn’t even be having a conversation of doubt because we drew against Cagliari.
Abraham missed two sitters which would have won us the match.
Conceicao would have made it 3 from 3 now.
Coaches are judged by results not what ifs. As much as I’d like to say we should have won the game and believe me we should have, it still dropped points at the end of the day.
Let’s hope for 3 points next game.
A coach with only 3 games under his belt with a new club judged by results?
O comon, you gotta be kidding me.
We expected a reaction since he took over, he can only be judged by performance, and the reaction of the team to his cooking ideas, and in that regard, I think he has scored a solid 90% some would even a 💯. I mean the team reaction earned us two solid come backs in the Supercup and we won a trophy in just two games in the process. Now, that’s results, judged hm with that.
We controlled the game against Cagliari and could have easily won it. For the first time in a long time, I saw my Milan being so aggressive in a match, I mean, if that reaction does give you hope that there is a positive work in progress, then we might just have to let Fonseca come back.
