Exclusively for Malay Mail readers: Use codeMILAN, Dec 16 — AC Milan failed to honour the 125th anniversary of the club’s foundation with Sunday’s drab goalless draw with Genoa which left the seven-time European champions way behind Serie A ’s top teams.
Alvaro Morata came closest to scoring for Milan when he smashed a close-range finish off the crossbar with 11 minutes remaining of another uninspiring display which was met with derision from supporters and left Milan eighth on just 23 points — eight from the Champions League positions and 14 behind league leaders Atalanta.
But fans chanted “we’re not Americans” at US owners Redbird and unfurled a banner which read “we honour our heroes, symbols of a Milan which no longer exists”, hardly what the club would have been hoping for when planning the pre-match ceremony for the anniversary. The contrast between some of the names who came out before the match and those who actually played was stark, partly due to an injury crisis and also Fonseca’s dissatisfaction with his team.
But the performance was not encouraging and unlikely to improve the already irritated Fonseca’s mood, nor that of the fans. Italiano managed Fiorentina for three seasons, taking the Viola to two Europa Conference League finals and an Italian Cup final before joining Bologna in the summer.
