Basta of the management talk, the boys still have Italia’s crest on their chest, they need to look at it and destroy Sampdoria, Forza Milan
Seems like this man is really trying hard to kill CDK’s career sane way he tried to kill Leao’s career until Rebic had that injury. SMH
Trust the process
Process of not creating anything and just being lucky ?? Luck runs out sometimes my friend.
30 minutes for him against the worst defense in the league.
There you go. Sue MMM if you want but CDK, our best signing is not ready for Serie A. You can tell he is an intelligent guy but the legs are weak. Luck is for amateurs what the fuck are you talking about, a club worth billions won’t make decisions out of luck. We got men like Giroud, Tonalli, and Zlatan who won the scudetto by pure balls, that’s determination, work, talent, sweat, and blood, not luck. Look at Messias, that’s the goal, keep buying cheap and hope for the best, CDK will only take credits from MMM which will… Read more »
About CDK. The few times I’ve watched the boy play, though you can see the intelligence, but I just get the feeling he was built for another era. The sad reality of modern football is you must press, no matter your position on the pitch, intelligence alone won’t get you there as a number 10
Class! Forza Milan
We score, we relax and start passing the ball backwards, the other team equalizes, we start trying to figure out how to score again with long balls and solo runs by Leao. Smdh. Pioli’s game is so ugly to watch.
FFS Messias, Samp is a Serie B team you can do it.
So, -10 points for Juventus and not winning against empoli. UCL qualification is on our hands again. Pioli is indeed a lucky sob.
Last year Inter droping points at the end was very lucky too. They had a game less that they had to play mid week during a very tight schedule at the end which resulted with them losing points and losing the first place lol. Similar as this year with Juve, just bunch of things going on off the fieled that aren’t even related to Milan somehow resulting in Pioli’s favour. He really is lucky.
Reading on the transfers rumours lately, its about time milan are linked with plenty of italians. Like it or not, Milan is Italy, and Italy needs a Milan that is is built around Italians. Sportiello is coming as Maignan’s cover. If EPL clubs offer crazy money for Tomori, I’d take it and sign Scalvini as his replacement. Kjaer, Thiaw, Tomori/Scalvini, Kalulu and Gabbia is a good set of DC. Calabria and Florenzi at RB, Theo at LB, then sell Ballo-Toure for either Parisi, Gallo or Valeri. Revert to a 3 in midfield. CDK & Pobega as LCM, Tonali & Krunic… Read more »
