AC Milan were able to beat Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday, but the performance was not a good one by any stretch. In fact, it was quite the opposite.
With the loss against Atalanta last week, Milan needed to show a massive improvement in the Champions League, and they did anything but that. The Rossoneri left it late against the visitors and did not look like a team fighting for a place among the top 8 – far from it.
Of course, this is not a new thing with this team, and it is not the first time that we have left games feeling underwhelmed against a lesser opponent. For example, against Slovan Bratislava, three points were collected, but the Diavolo did not make things easy.
As a result of the performance, Paulo Fonseca spoke openly about his frustrations concerning the team – the second game running where he spoke probably too honestly to the press – and he is not the only one to feel how he does.
Speaking to Sky after the game, Malick Thiaw admitted that Milan are a difficult team to describe currently and his words have been relayed by Milan News.
“I agree with Fonseca. It was a difficult game and we didn’t do what we wanted to do: it was difficult to play with the ball and without the ball. We played without aggressiveness, leaving two-three opportunities for them.
“It’s difficult, because, as the coach said, one day we do well, the second day… pfff… I don’t know.”
You can clearly notice that there are some players in the team who ruins it for all.
Single them out, bench them and sell them in summer.
Its ok to not like the coach or your teammates but to not give it your all for all the fans and familys who pay big money to see you is embarassing.
Get them out and either get a new coach or tell the players to do what he tells them.
