Christian Pulisic got on the scoresheet for AC Milan during the Trofeo Berlusconi match against Monza on Tuesday evening from the penalty spot.
The American winger has been involved throughout the opening exchanges and he stepped up to take the penalty against Michele Di Gregorio. The shot was saved but he was able to sweep in the rebound and make it 1-0.
Milan had been on top throughout the first half an hour and deserved their lead.

How did they equalise. Wow!. This lack of concentration is costing us. Milan score and the opponent immediately equalises. WTF is that. The coaching Staff needs to wake up. If Pioli does not come good ,he is gonna be sacked.
Cardinale won’t accept any excuse after such investment.
Scaroni said he doesn’t expect Scudetto next season so 6th or 7th place will be enough.
Lol this comment and then seeing the source. Oh. It’s Teddy.
Funny, that’s how your mom calls me.
Lmao W
My mom isn’t your mom. Sorry to break your bubble on that.
come on, regardless of tacttics or coaches at the helm of the club theres a thing like muscle memory and the fact that some of the players doesnt exactly knows how or when they move for eachother that is something that actually takes a bit more time than just playing a few training matches with eachother. It can be down to mili seconds to work perfectly.
Not suprising that Tomori is the guilty one. The Tomori from 1,5 years ago seams long gone
How do you watch football? That was a splitting pass, Tomori had his back to goal and even tried anticipating he pass. Thiaw was more at fault for being out of position and trailing behind.
agree
Defend him how much you want. He is a security risk in defense
he wasnt the cause of that goal nevertheless
after rewatching the goal ill agree he certainly could have been better positioned.
Never been one to hate on Poili but this Milan playing against Monza, will not make 10th even. Headless chickens everywhere
Cooling break at 70mins.
Motta has made at least three changes before now. Let’s see if Pioli will give some new players at least 20mins.
Pioli needs to go back to 4-2-3-1. He also needs to make changes in good time. The way he reads the game is just questionable.
i deffently would prefer a 4-2-3-1 compared to the 4-3-3 pulisic behind the forward and leao on the left and chukwueze on the right side.
Now we have the players to properly execute the 4-2-3-1 and we somehow are stuck with 4-3-3, I can’t seem to understand Pioli.
Maldini should have let him go.
Well im not against pioli but i also wonder why we wouldnt play with that formation as the preferred one but i at least expect him to switch a bit during the season.
Have you forgotten all our matches hitherto Milan has never scored goals from open play. It’s either its setpiece or penalty! And it’s a red flag because our first 10 matches are majorly against top 10 teams and with the way we are playing! This man not playing to the strength of the players at his disposal , still using slow ground and sluggish krunic! He will surely be sacked
Won it on penalties. Had plenty of chances that we need to capitalize on. The creativity is definitely there. Maybe we do need another striker.
I could see is doing a late move for Taremi. There is some doubt about Giroud right now. Possible injury.
One thing i know and can say his this match is a charity match and Trefoe has been on for many years before Silvio left milan. and most time from the matches i have watched Milan Juve Inter. most of these matches ended with penalties. So i am not suprises and the players are also being careful no one want to be sideline with injury at he begging of a new season…
I also want to belive we have killer weapon in both flanks that can do damage toto any team at any time even without the coach instrustion on how to play or attack . but i also think Pioli need to speed up his tactics and make the players play more like a teams earlier the better. No room for excuse
The first signing which should have been done, should have been a new coach. Before sacking Milanista-Maldini, they should have sacked Interista-Pioli.
Morale of the players are low. Slow changes are frustrating. Slow predictable lack of creativity in attack. No speed in counter attack. Poor substitution timing, and reasoning. Pioli is not a real coach. He’s not even good enough for a midtable team. What is he doing at Milan?
This 4-3-3 is not better for Milan,pioli most change it.If not hhhhhhhhhhh!
When Maldini wanted to fire him, it’s because he saw a red flag. Remember Maldini had worked with Arigo sacchi, Fabio capello, Alberto zacheroni, Carlo Ancelloti, Top coaches and also average like fillippo inzaghi, seedorf and co….so when he wanted pioli out he knew the class he belonged to! But pioli fans can’t smell the pheromones therefore not until Milan becomes Chelsea standing 12th on the table will they understand that quality coach matters! He needs to be sacked rather than using Milan as a tool to innovate .
Maldini hired Marco Giampaolo.
Maldini hired Pioli and extended Pioli 8,9 months ago.
That’s a great track record with coaches that Maldini had
Please put things in perspective, this was not the case.
First thing, as a Technical Director and a Milan fan, Maldini failed to differentiate the two sides. A good Director puts his job first and less clouded by his emotions.
Now, as a Director, the fans were trending #PioliOut, he had lined up Ragnick as Pioli’s replacement, that was a step every Director should have taken. Fast forward a few months, the fans changed to #PioliIsOnFire, and somehow the God of football favoured us that season and we “luckily” won the league. As usual the fans will get carried away, but should a Director be?
Long story short, Pioli gets a new contract. Now, I would have expected the Director to be more critical of the coach and demand more from him after analysing the circumstances in which we luckily won the league.
As a Director, making signings you are convinced are right for Milan. Midway through the season, our playing style had drastically declined, while new signings like CDK, Dest, Origi, Vranckx and Adli barely played as the coach didn’t integrate them properly, he refused to sack the coach.
Now, the season ends, ownership analyse the season performance, the mercato was a waste of transfer funds, our playing style is unrecognisable, mid and low table teams outplayed us, even Spezia embarrassed us, and the Curva couldn’t accept. Points earned on the pitch, we qualified for the Europa League, but for Juve’s punishment, we are glorified.
The sack was Maldini’s call to make, but he didn’t. Cardinale made his. Between the two, who is ready for results?
Who is ready to work?

Get your facts right Mister @JOHN THE BAPTIST!
It was Gazidis that wanted to fire Pioli and he had lined up Ragnick. Maldini and Boban – and even Ibra stood up for Pioli. Boban got fired for talking to the press about it.
Oh, that was Gazidi’s move, you right.
You see, I’m not all about bashing, I try to give credit where it’s due, I gave Gazidi’s credit to Maldini unknowingly, that was the right thing a Director was expected to do.
But I think it was Maldini who renewed his contract, that was were I expected a tighter scrutiny of his performance, but I don’t think that was done.
Thanks @Nino for the correction.

It’s to early for poili out now it’s just pre season for now. Let’s see about 3-4 games if no changes in scores or winning then we can campaign for this before it’s to late
Ovo je potpuno novi milan i uigravanje če trajati i trajati !! Možda cjelu ovu sezonu !!
