Less than two months into his tenure, Milan head coach Sergio Conceição has likely realised that his predecessor, Paulo Fonseca, was dismissed due to problems that extended beyond his management. Despite an unexpected Supercoppa Italiana triumph, Milan’s persistent issues remain evident, resurfacing in the weeks that followed. The expensive winter transfer market has also added to Conceição’s challenges, as some reinforcements have yet to make an impact. In the wake of a painful 2-1 defeat against Bologna, which left the Diavolo eighth in Serie A and eight points behind the last Champions League spot available, La Gazzetta dello Sport listed…
Excuses cannot be made for AC Milan’s defeat to Bologna, however, we can still scrutinise decisions made by the officials on Thursday night. Speaking after the loss, Sergio Conceicao was, expectedly, animated, and raised the point about a few errors made by the officials, maybe not in the same way that Paulo Fonseca did a few months back, but a point still stands. Time after time, poor decisions are made in games including Milan, which Zlatan Ibrahimovic has also spoken about with frustration. On Thursday night, as Gazzetta dello Sport writes, there were a few high-level incidents that were wrongly…
Rafael Leao has revealed his belief that AC Milan did not play ‘good football’ against Bologna but were simply following the orders of Sergio Conceicao. Milan’s already slim hopes of making the top four were dealt perhaps a decisive blow as they lost 2-1 against Bologna on Thursday night. As is perhaps to be expected, the fall-out has begun and the Curva Sud made their thoughts known after the full-time whistle. The Rossoneri cannot be accused of playing free-flowing attacking football as they were dominated in virtually every metric. It was clear from the first minute that Conceicao wanted the…
AC Milan have confirmed that Christian Pulisic is close to securing a new deal with the club. The USMNT star has been a standout performer for the Rossoneri this season, and with a contract that expires in June 2026, they are urgently seeking to tie the former Chelsea ace down to an extension. Along with Tijani Reijnders, Milan technical director Geoffrey Moncada has indicated that the renewal deals for both players are nearing. “We are very close,” he told DAZN. “The important thing is to have control over the players, we cannot lose them when their contracts expire, ever. We…
The woes continue for AC Milan as they find themselves unable to salvage the three points after traveling to meet northern Italian side Bologna, final score of 2-1 in favor of the locals. Yet another nervy and uneven performance has left the Rossoneri floundering in eight place ahead of their clash with Lazio on Sunday. It’s fair to say that it’s been a rough couple of weeks for Milan, as they crashed out of the Champions League and have faced back-to-back defeats in Serie A. Bologna earns a well deserved victory over the visiting side after a fast-paced game in…
AC Milan director Geoffrey Moncada has confirmed the club are prepared to sell left-back Theo Hernandez this summer if he does not extend his contract. Theo is in the final 18 months of his current deal and talks over an extension have stalled, with reports claiming the two parties are far apart when it comes to the finances on offer. Serie A newcomers Como offered around €40m to sign Theo in January and Milan were prepared to accept the offer, but the 27-year-old rejected the move and instead chose to see out the season with the Rossoneri. However, if he…
Samuel Chukwueze’s struggle for consistent minutes at AC Milan continues as they prepare to face Lazio, a pivotal clash for their European aspirations. Here is a correct score prediction. The Nigerian winger has been relegated to the bench in recent weeks, managing only fleeting appearances as a substitute. This lack of game time has coincided with Milan’s own struggles, with the team’s form faltering under Sergio Conceição. Meanwhile, Lazio will be without Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, who is sidelined with a knee injury, adding another layer of intrigue to this encounter. Milan are desperate to stop their current slide, and Chukwueze will…
AC Milan are showing an interest in signing Manchester United midfielder Casemiro, as per reports. United have been trying to get rid of Casemiro since last summer but the club’s highest-paid player is yet to find a new destination. The ex-Real Madrid man arrived at Old Trafford in 2022 amid much fanfare to fix the Red Devils’ midfield issues. The five-time Champions League winner enjoyed a positive start but a sharp physical decline in his second season underlined why Los Blancos were happy to part ways with their star defensive midfielder. Fast forward to now, Casemiro has become a sort…
Lazio aim to strengthen their push for a place in next season’s Champions League as they face AC Milan in Serie A on Sunday. With the hosts also battling for a place in Europe, a keenly contested battle is expected with little to separate both teams. AC Milan head into this game following a 2-1 defeat at Bologna, their second straight Serie A loss after a similar result against Torino. These setbacks have extended their winless run to four in their last five outings across all competitions, a stretch that also saw them crash out of the Champions League. Defensive…
As reported by lalaziosiamonoi.it, Lazio continued their preparations today in Formello ahead of Sunday night’s match away against Milan. Neither Gigot nor Romagnoli trained with the group, making them doubtful for the trip to San Siro. Tomorrow’s final training session will be decisive in determining whether they will be available to coach Baroni, who will certainly have to do without Hysaj, Basic, Dele-Bashiru, and Castellanos. However, Patric and Vecino have recovered.
