A bitter weekend for those who have Milan in their hearts, the draw against Sampdoria leaves a lot of disappointment and makes you think. The ranking is now much shorter for those who aspire to reach a place in the Champions League, a vital position for the growth project of this Club. The coach has great responsibility for the result: the starting line-up was clearly wrong.
Moving back Saelemaekers full-back and leaving Castillejo forward was a useless gamble (it was not the most suitable match for experiments), just as the choice to leave the Spaniard on the field in the second half and remove the Belgian did not pay off. Krunic is also bad: if Rebic is not at his best, perhaps it is the case to see Hauge more often, too many times left on the sidelines. The madness of Theo Hernandez., Then, is inexplicable: once again the full-back has concentration blackouts that are paid dearly.
Among the causes of the disappointing performance there are also the efforts of the players involved with their national teams. The most representative photograph is Ibra, author of a truly disappointing test. It is clear that the return to his Sweden represents a damage to Milan: without yesterday’s call-up we would have seen a player who was decidedly more rested and charged up for the Rossoneri cause.
In the meantime, the soap operas related to the renewals continue. Prosecutors asking for double wages as if they were candy. As if money was raining out there. As if the respective players had contributed to giving trophies one after the other to Milan in recent years. Blessed are they who think they live on Mars. Romagnoli has been added to the long list: the request of 6 million euros per season by the usual Raiola has the contours of yet another affront.
That figure the AC Milan captain is not worth today, in the era of the economic crisis linked to Covid, and it was not even remotely worth it before. This is why if an offer were to arrive in the summer, the management would be very happy. pay him 5 million per season.
The risk of losing them and being left with a match in hand is there, the wait is unnerving, but marriages are made in two and Milan made their proposals. It is also ungenerous to argue that the Rossoneri strategy is wrong: the winning horse, it is right to remember, can be seen at the finish line. Happy Easter to you and your loved ones!
