This season, AC Milan have regularly been sub-par, and as a result, they have been regularly criticised. Today, the latest example has arrived with Fabio Capello stating he would only keep two players.
Faults can be picked from almost everywhere this season, and this has resulted in confidence falling ahead of next year. However, with a rebuild set to take place, there may be a need to re-evaluate certain members of the current squad.
Reports have already suggested that leaders may depart, but the actual level of ‘reset’ in itself is very open to speculation, especially with no sporting director in place just yet.
Nevertheless, Capello has made his own analysis of the squad, and it is certainly not a positive one, and his piece with Gazzetta dello Sport has been relayed by Milan News.
“I save only two, Pulisic and Reijnders. All the others, for one reason or another, have performed below sufficiency. Beyond the value of the individual player, it seems to me that at AC Milan, the problem was first and foremost the general attitude.
“How many times have we seen a player lose the ball and not return? And how many, on the other hand, are chasing the opponent with desire, frothing at the mouth because you sense a dangerous situation for the team.
Maignan, Theo and Leao? Well, have they rendered and are they rendering as much as one would expect of their potential?”
The performances of Christian Pulisic and Tijjani Reijnders would likely earn them a place in a lot of Europe’s top teams, which might make keeping the duo slightly more difficult, with interest already present in both.
