AC Milan have not had the best recent period, and yet what filters out is confidence from the management down to the players. A report from La Gazzetta dello Sport this morning described Milan as having their ‘backs against the wall’ ahead of tonight’s game against Bologna. It is a fair comment too, given that the top four train is about to leave the station without them, unless wins come thick and fast. Despite the elimination in the Champions League at the hands of Feyenoord and the damaging defeat against Torino, the paper claims that the Milan leaders reiterated to…

Franco Ordine has revealed his belief that AC Milan should renew two of their star players, while also questioning Sergio Conceicao’s style of management. Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez have had difficult seasons so far and for similar reasons. Both have made some quite high-profile mistakes, while off the field the fact that both of their contracts run out in 2026 means that there is an absence of calm about the future. Nonetheless, a number of reports are suggesting that a deal is in place with Maignan over an extension for a couple of years at least, that will see…
Calciomercato.com write that Conceicao arrived at Milan with the clear objective of imposing his leadership upon a group lacking in this aspect. Things couldn’t really have started any better, with a trophy after two games that led to the coach smoking a cigar and dancing. Immediately after he had to deal with a reality more complex than the one he had been told about. He decided to use a sometimes harsh line of conduct that was not welcomed by everyone in the same way, like Alvaro Morata who decided to move to Galatasaray. There was press conference on the eve…

This evening in Bologna, Milan will play their first Champions League playoff. In the rescheduled match from the ninth round, Sergio Conceição’s team is searching for that spark that could turn around what has been a disastrous season for the Rossoneri so far. Regarding the importance of the match, Corriere della Sera headlined this morning: “Milan calls on its stars.

The Biancocelesti are without their most influential centre-forward Taty Castellanos who picked up an injury a couple of weeks ago against Napoli. The Argentine has been sorely missed, as his teammates haven’t been able to make up for his absence. Failed Experiments Last weekend in Venezia, Baroni decided to field Tijjani Noslin upfront, supported by Boulaye Dia.
