Milan managed to offer an encapsulation of the very disappointing and poor season within the Coppa Italia closing. An ineffective, mediocre efficiency towards Bologna in Roma left Milan with one other embarrassment. As if not given earlier than the 1-0 loss in Roma the season is now deserving of phrases like fiasco, regression and worse. The accountability clearly begins on the high however just isn’t confined to Gerry Cardinale, Paolo Scaroni, Giorgio Furlani, Ibra and Geoffrey Moncada. Conceicao (and Fonseca earlier than him) and a lot of the squad share fault. As is pure the optimistic and good gamers, however not solely them, are topic to exit rumours. As one instance, Reijnders is reported to be a stable goal for Manchester Metropolis. Whereas promoting a participant of his significance is a number of steps again the promoting worth can also be an element. Historical past reveals that Milan are usually not precisely the perfect at maximizing gross sales numbers. A painful summer time, that will embrace qualification for the UEFA Convention League, is upon us.
Travelling to Rome with solely a hope of holding a high eight spot just isn’t how the penultimate sport of the season ought to have been or needs to be for a staff with Milan’s assets however right here we’re.
Little to no change is predicted as Maignan will begin behind Tomori, Gabbia and Pavlovic. The Jimenez, Reijnders, Fofana, Theo quartet can also be anticipated to begin. Gimenez would possibly get a now uncommon begin rather than Jovic. In any other case Pulisic and Leao ought to retain their spots. The latter had one among his off video games and whereas he stays the staff’s high pure expertise he’s very deserving of expectations and criticism of not delivering them extra usually. All in all of the squad has not been managed in addition to needs to be anticipated and as talked about above only a few can escape the blame.
Roma lie solely three factors forward of Milan in sixth place. A win on this match and within the season finale versus Monza will add a minor optimistic word to the 2024-25 Serie A season however Milan is in disaster and Cardinale absence from Milan solely heightens the hopes for an additional staff sale.
Go to the boards to comply with this match and extra.
