The curtain fell on AC Milan’s terrible 2024-25 season last night. Alessandro Florenzi and Matteo Gabbia have earned praise for telling things how they are.
As MilanNews write, there have been too many problems this season from the top of the club downwards. However, in addition to focusing on the management as so many fans have, there are also several players have performed well below expectations and their standards.

For the rebirth of the Rossoneri to begin, it is therefore essential to start over from those who only have Milan in their minds and from those who really want to stay, something which Florenzi and Gabbia spoke about after the game.
Preaching Milanismo
Florenzi returned to the field a year after his last official match, working hard to recover from yet another setback. He told DAZN: “We have the quality to stay at the top. We all have to do more, now we need to start again with those who really want to fight. Milan deserves it.”
This was a concept also reiterated by the central defender, who scored against Monza to get his second goal of the season. He spoke to SportMediaset, stating: I think it’s right that those who really want to stay here stay.
“I haven’t seen anyone who wants to leave but it’s important that those who stay here give their all and don’t have their minds set on anything else, but only Milan, and focus on doing the best they can on the field and at Milanello every week.”
These are words that ring true because this season we have seen too many errors in attitude and behaviour that absolutely must not be repeated, such as the cooling break episode versus Lazio or the penalty saga in Florence.
Milan and especially the good of Milan must come first, so it is right to start again only from those who truly want to stay and fight for this shirt. Otherwise it is the right time to say goodbye, because a rebuild does not need passengers.
Renew Florenzi to lead the lazy bastards who don’t leave. And we know there will be some of those as well as we can’t be THAT lucky that all the troublemakers would attract decent offers.
I agree with both of them. This is why we need a coach who is strict and who knows how to push his players to give 200%.
We know the individuals they are talking about, it’s time to clearout the deadwood and the proud players.
I’ll mention names for context..
Deadwood-RLC, Tomori, Abraham, Bondo, Sotill, it’s right to assume Felix is gone already. Maybe we should give Chukwueze some time and we watch Musa for one more season playing in his right position
Proud players– Leao, Theo, Tomori
Not from someone ravaged with injury and an average defender
