This season, there has been a lot said about AC Milan and their misfortunes, and this has caused a slight divide. However, there has also been a lot said about a divide inside the club. Throughout this year, if you had to pick a theme for Milan’s year, you could pick through a handful of different things; disappointment and frustration probably top the list, however, you could also put forward division. All year, there have been talks of a divide throughout the Rossoneri, and this has, without a doubt, had an impact on things. On the pitch, there have been…
An American arrived as a gamble: those who had bet on him in previous years, like Chelsea, had not cashed in. On the contrary—when Christian Pulisic was still a promising talent at Dortmund, the English club invested over 64 million euros in him. That was the summer of 2019. Four years later, he moved to Milan for less than a third of that amount. Then came a Dutchman well known to the public in Alkmaar and AZ fans, but not necessarily to all Dutch football enthusiasts. Tijjani Reijnders only wore the national team jersey for the first time in September…
After a scrappy 3-2 win against Lecce, AC Milan set their sights on the Como game, hoping to go into the international break with a bit of momentum. The game started well for Milan and they should’ve scored in the opening minutes but Yunus Musah failed to hit the target after dribbling past the goalkeeper, which was quite the letdown by the American. Following that chance, the Rossoneri had good opportunities to hurt Como with some good through balls down the flanks. However, the efficiency was not there – in particular from Rafael Leao, who found himself in dangerous areas…
60 min: Erin Cuthbert threads a delightfully wieghted through ball into the path of Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, whose shot from eight yards out is well saved by Ayaka Yamashita in the City goal. 59 min: Chelsea corner. Catarina Macario’s inswinger is flicked on by City’s Aoba Fujina and Bunny Shaw bangs heads with her marker as she tries to clear the ball. 57 min: Bunny Shaw is booked for a late challenge on Erin Cuthbert, catching the Chelsea midfielder on the instep of her standing foot. The Jamaica international’s insistence that she got the ball is fanciful in the…
49 min: Mayra Ramirez tries her luck with a shot from the edge of the City penalty area after good work by Macario. It’s blocked. 47 min: Lauren James swings a decent cross into the City penalty area from the left but it’s a mite too far ahead of Mayra Ramirez, who makes a forlorn attempt to head the ball goalwards nonetheless. Second half: Chelsea 1-0 Manchester City 46 min: Play resumes with no changes in personnel on either side. Some admin: Manchester City midfielder Vivianne Miedema is on a yellow card for some first-half indiscretion or other and…
AC Milan have reportedly already reached a decision over the long-term future of Chelsea loanee Joao Felix. Despite only arriving at Stamford Bridge on a permanent deal last summer, it became apparent in January that Felix was eager to secure a move elsewhere. The arrival of Sergio Conceicao at San Siro led to the newly-appointed head coach moving for his Portuguese compatriot at a time when Milan were desperate to kick-start their campaign. As such, Milan allegedly paid a £5m loan fee with the understanding that a permanent deal could be negotiated if it suited all parties. According to Calciomercato,…
AC Milan will be aiming to keep their hopes of a European spot alive when they welcome Lombardy neighbours Como to San Siro on Saturday evening. There is certainly a lot of external noise surrounding Milan at the moment, from the sporting rumours to the speculation about Sergio Conceicao’s days being numbers. It is something the coach addressed in his pre-match press conference, but there is a duty to let the pitch do the talking. As per this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Rossoneri are expected to line up in a 4-1-4-1 formation against Cesc Fabregas’ side.…
AC Milan are back in action at San Siro tonight against Como with one mission: win to keep the hopes of a European place alive. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes this morning, Sergio Conceiçao doesn’t do calculations or tables, at least in front of the media. However, he wants to earn a European spot and leave the team in a better place that where he found it, which was seventh under Paulo Fonseca. Thanks to last Saturday’s win over Lecce and Juventus’ defeat against Atalanta, the Rossoneri have reduced the gap from fourth to eight points, but…
Joao Félix, a young Portuguese footballer from Chelsea who is on loan at Milan, has an uncertain future. Joao Félix will not continue at AC Milan beyond his loan spell. The Portuguese forward, who joined the Italian side with the aim of rediscovering his best form, has failed to convince the board and the coaching staff. Despite his undeniable quality, his lack of consistency on the field has led the Rossoneri to rule out any attempt to sign him permanently. Joao Félix will not be signed by Milan Since his arrival at San Siro, the former Atletico Madrid player has…
