A few days after the team were celebrating under their travelling fans in London after the game against Spurs they left the field to near silence last night following a 1-1 draw against Salernitana.
This morning’s edition of Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews) writes how Milan missed a wonderful chance to capitalise on Inter, Lazio and Roma dropping points as they too failed to beat an opponent they were expected to, marking another misstep in Serie A after the loss against Fiorentina.
Milan continue to have no consistency in the league further complicates the race for the Champions League places. Last night was particularly frustrating because the game was under control after Olivier Giroud’s goal just before the break, yet top scorer Boulaye Dia was inexplicably left alone in the area by the Milan defence to equalise in the second half.
One point in two matches is an alarm bell that should lead the coach to reflect on the mental strength of the group. Where is the Milan from London and why can’t they repeat the same performances domestically?
Yesterday we saw a slow, cumbersome and empty team, with too many players who played well below their standards, such as Theo Hernandez, Brahim Diaz and Rafael Leao.
