During this season, AC Milan fans have not been afraid to show their emotions to the players, management and head coach, but it reached a boiling point this week.
Against Bologna, we saw a glimpse of what things could be like with another poor result, and when the Curva Sud announced another protest, this time for the game against Lazio, there were no surprises.
It has not been a shock to hear areas of the ground protest this season, whether it be against Gerry Cardinale, the head coach or even players, but Sunday’s was much different. An empty start, then met with roars of “Cardinale devi vendere, vattene”, a really telling message.
With every mistake from there on out, as Calciomercato.com reports, the players were greeted with a ‘rain of whistles’, and there was no generosity. In fact, the loudest cheer of the night, barring the goal, came for Strahinja Pavlovic during his sending off, because at least he showed the fans a bit of something.
Elsewhere, the reactions were not as prominent.
Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez were both booed heavily, and whilst the Frenchman ignored it, Leao did everything but that, following his assist, he cupped his ears and then posted a statement stating ‘everyone’ was against the team.
Whilst Christian Pulisic tried to rally his teammates and the crowd into something positive, it had no effect, but he was not greeted with the same reaction that met his teammates.
The report finishes with a terrifying admission, for Milan, it is now themselves against everyone, rather than everyone for the Rossoneri. An infectious and toxic indication of where things are
