AC Milan have claimed 18 points out of a possible 21 in the league so far, but have struggled slightly in the Champions League with two points in two games. In any case, as Luca Serafini highlights, the constant witchhunt is damaging.
As happened after the derby, as well as after the Newcastle draw, the fans were very disappointed following the 0-0 draw against Dortmund. Many players have been criticised, including the likes of Davide Calabria, Olivier Giroud and Samuel Chukwueze.
In his latest editorial for MilanNews, the pundit Luca Serafini wrote at length about the constant witchhunt that the Milan fans are on. Instead of offering support in a tough situation (with injuries and a tight schedule), they are looking for scapegoats.
Serafini believes that this attitude is damaging, and the situation of Yacine Adli is a very good example of why that is the case. Instead of celebrating his rise, the fans are busy trying to blame one of the parties involved.
“As for Adli, I continue in vain to try to explain that he was evidently not ready for the rhythm and system, until he decided to question himself and change, freeing his mind and making available the talent for which – don’t forget – Milan signed him 3 years ago. He adapted and Pioli gave him credit for it: why the blame and justifications? Why do we continue to be on one side or the other, after finally discovering such an important resource?”, he wrote.
