AC Milan had a number of internationals in action over the recent break, and there were some performances to celebrate that should bring some added confidence. There were 18 different Milan players called up to represent their country at various age levels, and the headlines certainly belong to two players above all: Tijjani Reijnders and Christian Pulisic. We start with the Dutchman, who scored in the first game they played in the UEFA Nations League against Bosnia, also registering an assist and hitting the crossbar playing a bit further forward as the most advanced of a midfield three. After less than two…
Former Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri says he could return to management in January, and explained why Juventus weren’t ready for his style of football. Sarri left Lazio last season and has yet to be linked to a new coaching role. Speaking with La Gazzetta dello Sport, he looked back at his career to date, explaining why he hopes to return to the bench as soon as possible. “Unfortunately, even without the ball, I still smoke a lot, too much. With the start of the new season, my desire to be involved, to return to the field has grown strong.” Are you…
The international break is coming to an end and for Davide Calabria – who was once again snubbed by Italy – it never really even started. Despite that, it has been a difficult couple of weeks for the defender. As Calciomercato.com write, the decision to sign Emerson Royal was the first warning sign for Calabria, because Paulo Fonseca made it clear he wanted another solution at right-back and thus the captain then had to fight for his spot, a battle he lost in view of the Lazio game. Calabria has always done his job with professionalism and dedication and – even if he…
Strahinja Pavlovic has not been perfect, but he has already shown enough heart and determination to succeed to make AC Milan fans believe that he could develop into a pillar of the team. La Gazzetta dello Sport have published an analysis of Pavlovic, at least based on what we have seen before. He is second in Serie A among defenders for balls recovered, second for defensive duels, first for attacking duels, third for dribbles and fifth for progressive passes. But how does he play? Pavlovic was used as a left centre-back in a four-man defence at Red Bull Salzburg, as he…
One of the question marks surrounding AC Milan at the moment after such a poor start to the season is who the leaders are within the squad to stand up in a difficult moment. As Calciomercato.com recall, the cooling break saga involving Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez has dominated the headlines over the international break and it caused fingers to be pointed at the players, given the example they are meant to set having been at Milan for over five years. We can assume that on paper the French full-back and the Portuguese ace are to be considered the leaders of this team from…

The international break is almost over and AC Milan will resume their Serie A campaign on Saturday night hoping to get their first win, with Paulo Fonseca having seemingly already decided on the team he will pick. AC Milan logo LOADING OFFICIAL CONTENTCalciomercato.com report that Alvaro Morata is not expected to start, which means that Tammy Abraham is. The Englishman is favoured over the Spaniard – who has just come back from injury – and the other options like Luka Jovic and Noah Okafor. Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao will start as well, with the Lazio incident now fully in…
Arne Slot takes charge of his first Champions League match as Liverpool manager when the Reds travel to AC Milan on Tuesday. Slot has made an excellent start to life in the Anfield dugout, winning all three of his matches without conceding a goal, most impressively thrashing Man Utd 3-0 at Old Trafford before the international break. Milan, meanwhile, have made a disappointing start to the new Serie A campaign, taking just two points from three games so far, drawing 2-2 with both Torino and Lazio either side of a 2-1 loss to newly-promoted Parma.

Tickets are not exactly flying off the shelf for AC Milan’s first Champions League game against Liverpool, and a report has spoken about the potential reasons why. As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) writes this morning, Milan are not exactly experiencing their best moment at present, not only in terms of results but in general the atmosphere surrounding the club is far from positive. A good way to measure the temperature of the fans’ hearts is ticket sales, and one week from today the Rossoneri will welcome Liverpool to San Siro. As two clubs with a combined 13 Champions League wins,…
