The AC Milan squad were back in training on Tuesday and Massimiliano Allegri sent a message to his players amid a tough recent run.
We’re in the final part of the season, with three games remaining and six points still required (at most) to book a place in the Champions League. However, Milan have taken just seven points from their last seven games and have scored one goal in five, so panic is spreading.

A top four spot is the ultimate goal of a journey that began almost a year ago, when Allegri took over a disheartened team that had finished eighth in the league and had lost badly in the Coppa Italia final against Bologna. It is crucial the team do not throw things away, or there will be big consequences.
Max’s message
MilanNews report that the head coach ‘wanted to speak openly and with great seriousness’ to the team on Tuesday, in light of the negative results and the evidently difficult moment.
At Milanello, Allegri addressed his players with a speech that focused strongly on the sense of responsibility everyone must have.
The coach emphasised that they have worked hard and diligently for 10 months, and therefore it is everyone’s responsibility to see this process to completion and achieve the objectives set.
It’s something the players must do for themselves and the commitment they have shown thus far, for the glorious shirt they wear, for the club and for the fans, especially after Sunday.
The Milan fans traveling to Reggio Emilia sang and cheered on those on the pitch from the first to the last second despite the team’s poor performance. Only after the end of the match did the boos begin, their way of expressing their disapproval.
The coach spoke sincerely and in a ‘heartfelt’ way, hoping the team understood the importance of finishing the season on a high note. Training then continued with great determination, but also with that sense of calm that Allegri strives to instil regardless of the moment.
Just like they’re sold Tonali, to have money to buying player’s.
Initially fans feared that money generated from player sales would go into the pockets of the Americans instead of strengthening the squad. But they have proved everyone wrong.
Now we have to still complain that they reinvested the money to strengthen the squad.
We lost Tonali to get Pulisic, is it really that bad?
dude, are you crazy?!!
can you imagine if they didn’t put more money in that specific summer, what place we ended up in the league today? 10th, 12th, 17th? Or, perhaps you don’t have the capability to imagine that.. lol
