Ralf Rangnick has given an extensive interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport, revealing the first contacts started in October and discussing his vision.
For weeks it was almost a fact that Rangnick would become the new coach Milan and the strongest person in the Technical Area of the Rossoneri, pushing directors Paolo Maldini & Frederic Massara and coach Stefano Pioli aside.
However, for various reasons, Elliott decided to continue with the trio mentioned above, gave Pioli a new contract and cut the contacts with Rangnick.
Alessandra Gozzini conducted an interview with Rangnick, who has a vocabulary focused on the letter C: “Cash, competence and concept.” The interview was posted on today’s La Gazzetta dello Sport:
C for Champions, the objective that Milan had decided to entrust to you. When did the first contacts take place?
“At the end of October, when the team was in a complicated situation: three points from the relegation zone.”
Did the contacts then continue for months?
“If you wrote that, it’s because someone told you. I never mentioned it in public. But to make it clear, there was no contract or clause, up until three weeks ago I was busy with Red Bull.”
Before the twist: Milan confirmed Pioli, were you surprised?
“The team was the best post Coronavirus. Changing would not have been wise or respectful. Pioli deserved confirmation, also for the person that he is: I appreciated him in his interviews, always focused on objectives. Whether it is the right choice in the medium and long term is another question.”
Both Maldini and Boban spoke about you, in tones that were not exactly positive. Are you sorry about it?
“One of my rules in life is: don’t talk about people you don’t know personally. As for my part, a half word has never been said about Milan, ever. I can talk about Maldini as a former player: extraordinary, a real legend. But I can’t say the same as a sporting director: I simply don’t know him in this role. As an outsider, one may wonder if the ownership is happy with the results in relation to the money invested in recent years. Did I cause the divorce between Zvone and Milan? You have to ask whoever represents the club.”
Had you arrived at Milan, would you have ‘cut’ Ibrahimović?
“The question to ask is another. Why did Milan turn to me? What did they want me to do? If they did it, perhaps because they were looking for a turning point. I work on growth, and young players learn much faster. It’s not my style to focus on 38-year-old players, not because they’re not good enough, and Ibra certainly is, but because I prefer to create value and develop talent. For me it makes little sense to focus on Ibra and Kjær; but that’s my way of seeing things, neither way is right nor wrong, simply different. When Ibra said he didn’t know me, he was not wrong, because I also don’t know him personally, having never spoken to him.”
What do you think Milan should do to return to the top permanently?
“Set yourself a concrete objective, in this case the Champions League because no one is happy to play in the Europa League… maybe on Thursday you’re in Baku and on Sunday in Cagliari. It may be paradoxical but the example is 30km away from Milano: Atalanta has a third of Milan’s turnover but they’re ahead. They make smart investments, they have a Youth Sector among the best in Europe. If someone is good, I try to understand which path he followed. Gasperini is very good but he is not the only one. You win as a team. Among the Italian coaches I’m straight away impressed by Conte: he has a sophisticated, active and aggressive style of football.”
Is it also your style?
“If you want to be successful, a club must know what its values are. At Red Bull the idea of the game has always been high-speed football with pressing and counter-pressing; in America they now call is ‘Ralfball’. Every young player has been trained like that.”
A model that worked in Austria and Germany, where clubs unknown to international football such as Salzburg and Leipzig have arrived among the big names in Europe. Is there a secret?
“In June 2012, Dietrich Mateschitz [co-founder of Red Bull] called me to coach Salzburg. He insisted on arriving by helicopter at my house in Backnang. He asked me how he could have the same success in football that he had with Sebastian Vettel in Formula 1. My answer was to focus on the players on their first or second professional contract, not their last. Then I suggested that all the teams in the group have the same common style of play and scouting. He convinced me act as the director of sporting of his teams. We took Leipzig from the fourth division and we got to where we know, with players who have been with us for years: Lukas Klostermann, Diego Demme, Yussuf Poulsen, Marcel Halstenberg, Péter Gulácsi, Marcel Sabitzer, Emil Forsberg, Timo Werner and Dayot Upamecano. We have never had a crisis in Leipzig: in the next 100 years it will be difficult to repeat what has been done. Today the club is worth €800 million. I’ve always said to Mateschitz: ‘I spend your money as it were mine’. On safe investments, like Erling Håland, who I saw for the first time three years ago at Molde. Between Hoffenheim, Leipzig and Salzburg, the increase in value of the players we have acquired went from €120m to €1200m, 10 times more.”
In the future you see yourself as a coach, director of sport, or both?
“It depends on the project. Over the past 36 years, I have always been more successful when I could be more than just a coach, a ‘trainager’, a coach and a manager. But I consider myself a part of a cog with many pieces. I’m looking for the best people, the strongest professionals, from staff to nutritionists, from psychologists to video analysts up to obviously the scouting sector.”
Would it also work in Serie A?
“Anywhere, if there is support and sharing. Jürgen Klopp doesn’t bring in a player whose mentality doesn’t fit the game ideas he has. Pep Guardiola is the same. Players who are not looking for the best salaries, but a coach who knows exactly what he wants to do with them.”
Your maestros take you back to Serie A: More Sacchi or more Zeman?
“I once played in a friendly [as a coach-player] against Valeriy Lobanovskyi’s Dynamo Kiev and I was impressed: they were running as if there were 14 players on the pitch. In 1991, I was with my wife in Trentino and I discovered that Zeman’s Foggia was training nearby: I went back and forth every day to follow him. And then there’s Sacchi. I have a memory of him that ties me to Milano: with Schalke we won 5-2 at San Siro against the Inter of the Triple, we eliminated them in the Champions League quarter-finals. The night before, at the hotel, I met Galliani who had read some of my interviews and suggested I talk to Arrigo on the phone. I told him that his Milan had impressed and shaped me more than any other team. Today the satisfaction is to have worked with 8 of the 18 current Bundesliga coaches, plus others who are abroad: Roger Schmidt, Ralph Hasenhüttl, Gerhard Struber and Zsolt Lőw, the assistant of Thomas Tuchel.”
Can we conclude with an ‘arrivederci’ to Italy?
“Who knows…”
I have deep regrets that we didn’t get Rangnick. I was so looking forward to his arrival but I understand the reason why Milan stuck with Pioli.
When Milan got rid of Gattuso we should have replaced him with Rangnick. Gazidis made some poor decisions and I honestly cannot wait for Elliott to sell Milan to a wealthy buyer who has the money to invest in the club.
I’m confident in a vulture fund running a football club. These people don’t spend and they will always take the cheap route. Smh.
I completely agree. Look at the players we were seriously linked with! Upamecano, domink etc and now look what’s happening! No real signings and now we are focused on Baka and aurier lmfao I like pioli but he’s not making the club buy real talent
like milan would be able to get upamecano with 75m transfer budget. gimme a break
Rubbish. Upamecano market value is 55m.
what i mean is, why would milan spend 55m on cb when 1) they already have 5 cb 2) they only have 75m for transfer budget?. who can milan buy with 20m left? buying upamecano would be garbage decision because what milan need the most are dm and rw. also, its not like upamecano is willing to come to milan anyway
The problem is Milan is determined to buy a cb. If that’s the case then we need to be serious about it. Also remember we sold suso so we have 100 mil to spend, plus we will sell conti or calabria so potentially around 115 mil. I do agree we should use what we have seeing as gabbia was a good back up and should in my view get more playing time. We need to fix our entire right side. What’s funny is we still need back ups for our entire left side lol we need to get rid of… Read more »
first of all, milan need to get serious and get fofana for 20m. 40m for milenkovic is idiotic, let alone getting involved in bidding war for upamecano.
second of all, only half of players sales will be reinjected into transfer budget so no, milan wont have 115m, unless more players like paqueta or leao are sold. selling paqueta to make room for de paul or anyone on his level would be good business but selling leao would be extremely idiotic.
Yes Nathan. I agree with you 100%
Well it’s the first time I heard from this guy while being related with Milan…..with ralf in position it would have been year zero and forward and with clear future project to work on with smart investments in youth… with Pioli it’s continuity of what we did last year…..so fingers crossed let’s see how we move forward….. bottom line Elliot have to invest tons to get to winning ways or just stay in mid table group…..Leipzig came into existence in 2009 in fourth division and wow where they are now……hopefully we can too move up slowly but gradually we will
Can’t wait next Monday. Will we get agreement with Ibra ? Will Pobega impress us in pre season ? If yes, I think we have enough back up for midfield because we still have Brescianni. We still also have Paqueta that seem to stay because no interest in him. Paqueta can also play as an AMC and AML. Don’t forget Daniel Maldini as back up for AMC. If Ibra stay, we can maximized Leao as his deputy. He is strong, fast and tall. What we need is only a reliable RB so Saelemaeker can focus on AMR, back to back… Read more »
We still need a good reliable cb remember we will be playing 50 plus matches….a rb is a must plus we need one midfielder to vice kessie and ismael and lastly one rw to make us fight for champions league objective…..we need at least 40 something goals from trident of attacking forwards in 4-2-3-1 line up like Rebic, Ibra, Leao, hakan and Samu that’s why we need a good right winger a proven one who can add some goals in
An addition of a good reliable CB would be better. But we must offload 2 of our 5 existing CB first. The same goes to our MC if Bakayoko in. But I still believe that Paqueta is the solution for the deputy of duo Bennasie. I don’t mind if Chiesa in. So we will have 5 winger which some of them able to switch position. That is ideal
Paqueta doesn’t have characteristics for that position so an addition is must….either Bakayoko or some one else…as far as cb concerned obviously we have to offload first than do addition……a young cb perhaps will do the trick……but right winger is must and I meant a proven right winger who can add some goals……Chiesa or any one
Sorry mate, I disagree with your opinion about Paqueta.
Leao is not a forward plain and simple. You can tell by his position while playing. He’s a winger and should be developed as one. If anything we should be developing columbo and having zlatan teach him
I also thought Columbo is an interesting choice. Hope he will developed
if anything, leao is so similar to henry and mbappe. and the thing about henry was that, he was good winger turned even better st
Lmao Henry was a machine at leaos age lol leao is not a striker plain and simple. It’s not like we haven’t tried him there. It’s like I said with piatek, he lacks a strikers brain. He should only be used as a winger
lol what makes u st expert? henry was a failure at juve at leao’s age but wenger turned him into lethal st. it took nearly a season but they finally got there. leao’s finishing and positioning are quite good, he’s tall and strong. he can definitely be good st. like i said, there are many successful wingers turned st like henry, mancini, del piero, rummenigge, rashford, martial, mbappe, auba, messi, cr7, alexis sanchez, werner etc. regarding piatek, like i said, he is not a bad st but he’s classic #9 thus he cant play as lone st in 4-3-3 or… Read more »
He sounds very confident and his ideas also sound quite nice. Huge improvement projects, impressive talent development, great financial growth. Fantastic. But what about trophies? Actually winning something? Yes, Atalanta and Leipzig are great. But if you don’t see the difference between them and Milan, well, then most probably Maldini is right: you are not the right person for Milan. Zero pressure, zero expectations, zero objectives. It is indeed the perfect environment for talents. Ibra and Kjaer indeed do not make sense. But if you think Milan is like that, then you better stay away. Probably there is the reason… Read more »
My friend you are missing the point…..in today’s environment it’s money that matters a lot and that too tons and tons of it….you need to spend along like shrewd investment according to your coach wishes…..we are not such a club…..saachi, don capello and Carlito’s Milan were funded by berlu out of passion and for love of Milan end result they won tons of international trophies and made Milan dominating force around the world let’s be realistic our owners are not like Arabs or some Oligarchs or some billionaires whose passion drives them buy football club…it’s a fund which invests and… Read more »
I understand the financial side, it’s true that the model has changed. But the academy model cannot stand in Milan. The pressure is huge compared to Leipzig, talents need time which is never given in Milan. (That’s exactly where Ibra comes into the project). Additionally, the Leipzig/RB/Hoffenheim model was based on the fact that best players will be sold. That cannot happen to Milan. We need to keep them because we aim higher. (If we would sell Donna, Roma, Theo, Kessie, Bennacer we would have a very healthy financial year but instead of selling, we need to keep them with… Read more »
I didnt meant about academy I meant about young blood who performed exceptionally well or some sort of hidden gems which are needed to be un earth..every one is at risk football is such a business but it’s not about comparison it’s about talent hunting forget about ralf for a min even if you plan for future you need certain young players for future development along with seasoned players……but yes I agree with your pressure environment and expectations this is something which can held players back at Milan……see I can’t compare Milan with Leipzig, Leipzig was born in 2009 where… Read more »
When a team like Madrid, United or Milan calls you and you impose conditions it’s crystal clear that you’re an idiot. You didn’t arrived not because Zlatan is not financially wise, it’s because Milan had to pay EIGHT FREAKING MILLIONS to release you from your contract.
Milan bleeds money, Rino would’ve still being on contract, we’re still paying Giampaolo’s salary Why pay a third coach?
Leipzig would destroy this Milan, but Milan is Milan. Monty sold more shirts that Leipzig have sold in all their history.
Ragnick you’re a dumbass.
“the increase in value of the players we have acquired went from €120m to €1200m, 10 times more.” Milan is not a feeder’s club, a team like Milan cannot be represented by players on their first or second contract. Milan is a giant in the sport and needs champions, NT captains and the best talent from all over the world. Donnarumma Best young GK, Romagonli NT player, Theo Marcelo’s heir, Kjaer, Denmark Captain, Calabria U21 NT player. Bennacer AFCON Top player, Kessie a Motherfucking tank with technical qualities. Hakan, the second best player after the resume, look at… Read more »
I agree bring chiesa but def not ozil. There are better, younger players that are affordable. The thing about ragnik is we were focused on getting better players. Domink, upamecano and more. Remember players also go to clubs for the coach. Pioli has done a great job but ragnik demands better players. Right now look what we are focusing on. Baka and aurier!!! Our entire right side is slow asf and lacks creativity and yes I’m including samu in this. Chiesa would fix that prob for sure but zlatan is still a problem bc we need a long term solution.… Read more »
“leao is trash” – nathan van basten
Do you think Leipzig will let Upamecano go for less than 50m? Bakayoko is not a gamble, he is expensive and his team does not want him, it’s wise to wait until the end and see if he is allowed to go cheap. Aurier? IDK, I trust Maldini, see what he did with Kjaer and Hernandez. Disagree with Leao, I was a hater, but after the resume of the league I saw that the boy did his homework, he seems like a nice, humble guy, the one to keep his head down and work for the team, his… Read more »
Of course not. We would have to pay his buy out clause which is low. We were ready to spend 40 mil for a support striker from athletico Madrid. Sell a cb for around 10 and now your only spending like 45 mil. If you watch aurier play, you would know why he’s not a good buy. Leao does have decent skill and speed but he has no clue how to use it. These ppl think he’s a forward when he’s not! He’s a winger. You can tell by his positioning. We can sell him a get chiesa, someone who… Read more »
well, like i said back then during morontella days, to build competitive team first u need coach with clear vision regarding formation, tactics and strategy, THEN get suitable players so the coach can implement his vision. if one compares inter mercato this season to barca’s and milan’s last few seasons its clear who has coach with vision who havent. anyone who buys griezmann when barca already have messi and sells arthur when barca clearly need playmaking cm clearly isnt smart person. the less said about kalinimovic and milan’s lack of playmakers the better. judging by this interview (and many other… Read more »
Take a look at AC MIlan’s YouTube channel, they uploaded a 2016’s match against Sassuolo, damn, you need to take a look at that match.
Morontella did bad, but let’s not forget that Gomez, Paleta, Kujka, Luiz Adriano were first team players. Galliani’s signings were awful
which is why i kept saying to sheva the troll whenever he’s nagging that its unrealistic to hope that milan could be competitive with that squad. but that was 16/17. after summer of fassobelli, there’re no more excuses. also, as bad as milan were back then, deulofeu, kucka, suso, bonad10nho, bacca, romag, donna, cutrone, loca, hell even antonelli, honda and pasalic were decent players. hell, i’d take kucka back right now to be bennassie’s back up. its morontella’s pass the ball to suso/deulofeu interpretation of 4-3-3 that really ruined milan. 3-4 worth class signings worth >200m like ibra/auba, goretzka/draxler, ts33,… Read more »
Bakayoko, Aurier, Miranchuk, Deulofeu? I sincerely hope these are mere rumours and the management have a real plan behind with real and exciting players. Bringing in such wastes of money and space should get them the boot cause they ain’t going to raise neither the quality neither the value of this team. I rather stay with Calabria/Conti, Paqueta and co., if these players are their reported alternatives
This is why I wanted ragnik to come. We need a person to come in a demand better players
how are schick, jovic, ajer and szoboszlai better than maldini’s targets like correa, ibra, de paul, demiral etc?
No one wants schick lol but jovic can score goals but he was never going to play over benz. Szoboszlai is better and cheaper than de paul. Correa is massively over hyped. Either way it won’t matter since apparently Milan only have 30 mil to spend
rangnick’s main target was schick and jovic isnt made for 4-2-3-1, he’s classic #9 who needs st tandem beside him. juve want de paul not szoboszlai, enough said
Aurier is not what Milan should be aiming for…who ever watches premier league knows what type of player he is, Dumfries or Emerson royal anytime plz not this Aurier it’s a waste of money….a cb why not go for robin kooch will cost 20 m max and frideburg are interested in krunic as well….go for good rb the one who compliments Theo on other side of the flank and a good right winger…..plus dm as well Bakayoko May be……Milan should have been handing all these signings before preseason so they can gel together…..it seems like we are completely lost in… Read more »
We are literally waiting on zlatan to fix our front 4. Makes no sense. We should be using breaciani or however you spell his name as back up. Baka and aurier isn’t needed
So that means till zlatan doesn’t renew their won’t be any more signing….this is height of insanity
It truly is. Plus I see Milan has 30 mil to spend and that’s it so we ain’t getting anyone
Bakayoko and Kessie can not play together as duo in 4231. None of them can play as deep play maker. They can only play as duo MC in 442 wide. Ibra play as second striker
Offcourse they can play infact it’s their best position as dm or deep playing playmaker…..with rino their best performances was when Bakayoko was dm and kessie as mezzala…..
So EL qualifications are geting close. Rebić is suspended, Jack left, Ibra is out of contract. So we have close to no alternatives up front. The whole mercato is on block cause Ibra is playing hard ball on renewal. And while these new owners with their management promised exciting times and working hard to “get back to where we belong” I read about additions such as Bakayoko, Aurier, Miranchuk etc.
This is exactly what I’ve been saying! This is why keeping zlatan to me is pointless. Who’s in charge, zlatan and raiola, or Milan? Donnaruma is the only one worth the money he’s getting. We should have signed a good forward last summer or kept cutrone to develope him. Instead we get leao who has no clue how to use his assets. One player is stopping us from improving the team lol we need a forward, better atm, rw and rb. Cb is the last thing we need right now. We need speed on the right to help out the… Read more »
Don’t worry Nathan eventually zlatan will sign that too according to what Milan willing to pay with few tweaks though ….it’s just some ppl have to keep whole Milan world under guess because they call themselves the gods ( you knw whom I am referring too)
Lol we will see. I just see Milan wasting another transfer window on average back up players instead of good starters. Hakan, samu, salemakers, conti, calabria and even zlatan should all be benched.
“ibra and hakan, the 2 best milan players post covid should be benched” – nathan van basten
If we were to get a domink, he would bench hakan for sure. And yes zlatan needs to come off the bench. This is how you lose your best up coming players or make players think twice before coming. What good player wants to come to Milan to sit behind 38 yr old? I like zlatan but he’s doing more harm than good right now
fabian ruiz, papu gomez, bruno fernandes, de bruyne, hell even isco would bench hakan. definitely not dominik. if he’s so good why dont great clubs chase him? ibra scored 10 goals in half season, and his mere presence raises milan game tactically and mentally speaking. the only lone st who deserve to bench ibra are benzema, lewandowski, aguero and very few other. classic #9 like immobile, jovic or gab jesus cant replace him in 4-2-3-1 formation. besides, buying another st would cost >40m so if anything milan should be thankful they have ibra. benching him would be idiotic after all… Read more »
Bring back Muntari, he will be a good backup for Kessie/Bennacer. Might even be better than Bennacer, and be in the starting 11.
Aquilani would be a great option too, such a elegant midfielder, and both are younger than Ibra. I don’t know what is Maldini doing in this mercato FFS. Pato wants to go back to Italy, perfect option now that he has all the bunga-Barbara behind him.
How about king nocerino as back up for hakan we too can score 20 goals now…2011 season he scored 10 goals and zlatan was in team as well….
We all know the greedy piggy Raiola but he said it is not the matter of money with Ibra but rather a need of clarity on project Milan are working on. If that is the case, then I can understand him. I would too be sceptical hearing my club are targeting players like Bakayoko, Aurier, Miranchuk.
The reason Raiola says they need clarity on the project at Milan is because it has been reported that Elliott and Gazidis is only giving Maldini and Massara 30m to spend in this transfer window. The 100m transfer budget offered to Rangnick is no longer on the table. So 30m plus the money from sales of players like RicRod, Calabria, Krunic and Paquetà is all we will have to spend. That’s why we haven’t signed anyone yet which makes sense now. That’s why Ibrahimović is holding out and Raiola might move Donnarumma to Madrid too if the club doesn’t invest… Read more »
so inter bought hakimi, a player i repeatedly said would’ve been perfect for milan, for 40 and are about to buy tonali for around 35m but milan whole transfer budget is 30m? wtf is this? thats like saying u want to win f1 race with a fucking donkey cart. vergogna
I said the same thing. This is wild indeed. Our entire right side is slow asf and lack goals and assists and yet we only have 30 mil to spend lmao I’m assuming we will be developing our youth players this season bc this makes no sense to me
i think we misread it. its 30m + players sales so 30m + (suso + piatek(?) + possibly calabria, krunic and laxalt sales) = probably around 50m – 70m. its still not enough but at least milan can get 2 decent players and lots of loan deals with that money
Why has the “post comment” button been removed when I log in from my phone?
Baresi Dream, am having issue with “Posting” burtton too. I can’t understand why. The issue started about two months ago. I even mailed the blogger for solution but no response. I have to go and click on “Reply” burtton for me to make a post .
Yeah, it literally doesn’t allow us to post. For me, even pressing the reply button doesn’t help
Reading about the 30 million transfer budget like everyone else. Doesn’t add up to me, because- I don’t think we would be discussing non-loan deals with anyone. Riola would be doing his usual antics. No player would be off limits on the sale. The idea that Elliot plan to cash in also doesn’t add up for similar reasons: Why then are Bennaser and Theo not up for sale? Why invest in a stadium? and most importantly, why keep it a secret? I guess we should all just stay calm and let Maldini and co do their job quietly. Both Aurier… Read more »
Maybe you haven’t read yet but aurier is about to join leverkusen. Also he’s trash lol as for the 30 mil thing. Idk man, if we had money we would have gotten somebody by now. You realize we have no speed, goals or assist on the right side of our formation. And as good as hakan has been, we need a atm that can dribble with speed and give splitting passes as well.
I will be excited if we lose out Serge Aurier. That would have been a total waste of money that we clearly don’t have.
We should only consider Denzel Dumfries or Emerson Royal. Either one makes more sense than Serge Aurier.
I completely agree, I wasn’t happy we were linked with aurier. Honestly we should have more than 30 mil bc we sold suso and Rodriguez. We should be sitting at 50+. I’d honestly use that money to get a right winger and a atm. We lack pace on the right side as well as assist and goals. Also we need an upgrade in atm. Hakan is ok but he doesn’t terrify the def.
Naw guys, Aurier will most likely arrive, and he will be a great addition. Perhaps not the ideal compliment to Theo, but an upgrade to RB nonetheless. Strong, fast, experienced, and decent technique, he should fit nicely into the existing lineup.
The 30 mil thing might just be Milan tactics to lower everyone’s demands. Personally, I’m not surprised that we are waiting off with the signings; these things never went smoothly at Milan (mostly due to the nature of the transfer window)
I was shocked to read from news that the management has only provided 30m when most of us have placed our hope on 100k which we even think it won’t be enough to have a solid transfer. Why did we allow Bonaventura to leave when we have no money.? The is the opportunity for this management to give this team a resultant push for us to make top 4 and even win scudeto. Juve team is distabilized now. We are already in goood shape. We are not expecting any big crowd at the moment assuming it a factor for our… Read more »
I’ve read too many articles about Milan only having 30 mil. We are in big trouble. Like you said why let bona go if we don’t have any money. Clearly we must be developing our youth players and they will play half the games.
I’m reading Milan only has 30 mil to spend on players lmfao the owners must think we are a joke club
This only makes sense if Elliott is in progress of selling the club. Otherwise it would be another disaster season on the horizon. So I’m they sell the club soon.
We won’t be selling the club this summer for sure. If they sell it won’t be for another year or so which is very unfortunate since they are fucking us over this year.
Yeah. I hear you brother. Feeling the same way. Can’t wait for Milan to have a good owner with the resources to invest. We have been suffering for a long time. Smh
