Marcel Desailly hits out at Milan for their ‘mix of many different problems,’ including the fact Chelsea loanee Joao Felix ‘lacks character and mental strength.’ The Rossoneri are languishing in ninth place in Serie A and it will take something remarkable for them to get back into the hunt for a Champions League spot. They sacked Paulo Fonseca in December, but things have barely improved under Sergio Conceicao, aside from that surprise Supercoppa Italiana victory. “I am disappointed, as Milan are today a mix of many different problems,” Desailly told Sky Sport Italia The season started badly, then there was…

With less than ten minutes gone in the second half, a collision occurred that not only silenced the stadium but also led to Milan accidentally…
