AC Milan: Stingy looking for old aura

Calling AC Milan a "Serie A Champion" can be a blessing to them. But removing the team from the list of candidates is unfair. Milan are still the best side in Serie A next season.

AC Milan: Stingy looking for old aura
None of the clubs fined by UEFA for violating the Financial Fairness Act have bought hands like AC Milan. First off, they brought a penalty for attending the UEFA Europa League two seasons in a suit against CAS and won the case. Next, they traded their midfield captain Leonardo Bonucci with two players: Mattia Caldara and Gonzalo Higuain with Juventus, which, in fact, cost the two stars a total of 71 million euros. Milan continue to shop, and yesterday officially announced Tiemoue Bakayoko midfielder Chelsea, with a loan of 5 million euros and a buyout fee of 35 million euros (if desired).

The optimism covered Milan. Since the fines were lifted by the CAS, they have not forgotten that the Financial Justice Law is still hanging on to their ropes, but the Rossoneri have started new, wiser judgments, supported by supporters. Elliott appointed Leonardo as Sports Director, and Paolo Maldini as Sports Strategy Development Manager, created the pair to work effectively. In addition to the dynamic and clever transfer, the duo also spread the modern image, beautiful back to the team. The return of Maldini after 9 years, from the day of retirement, is also the message of the Elliott home to the fans: Let's close the conflict, the old management structure of the Silvio Berlusconi, to bring the team back to correct. The substance that it used to be. And no one deserves to represent that quality more than Paolo Maldini.

This summer, Milan have six new players, including three free players Ivan Strinic, Pepe Reina and Alen Halilovic. They have Caldara on Bonucci in the defense, Gonzalo Higuain is the man in charge, and the addition of Bakayoko to Samu Castillejo for the midfield. It's not as fierce as Juventus, as the tiger added to Cristiano Ronaldo, Napoli promised to reach out to Carlo Ancelotti, and Inter impressed in the summer. What the best Milan can do at this moment, with a suspended fines from the Financial Justice Law, in the situation that has just replaced the upper league, and now begins to rework everything from zero.

This will be hardly a year of Milan's success, but the hinge year for them to return to the real level in the future. Milan will rebuild the club with new leaders; shaping the playing style with better players; And try to enter the Top 4 to solve the financial problems next season.

Gennaro Gattuso, who last year claimed himself as "the worst coach in Serie A", has no absolute belief from fans as well as the boss. But in this position, the club needs someone like him, who is willing to fight to the last breath, although not in the hands of the best cards. As a player, Gattuso also acknowledged his "like not knowing football when standing next to Pirlo," but he still has a brilliant career, and became Milan legend. Now with Milan, expertise is not as important as fit. To win, they need a better man than Gattuso. But to get back to the air, no one more than the 40-year-old coach at the moment.

Higuain broke Milan's "scorer"
Gonzalo Higuain scored the worst goal in Serie A when he scored his last Juventus season. Higuain is so bad, Milan are grateful to him, because of their "scorer" in Serie A last season, Patrick Cutrone has only scored 10 goals.

THE STRATEGY
Coach Gennaro Gatusso often uses a 4-3-3 scheme. However, he can flex with the 4-4-2 or 3-5-2. The core of Milan's play is the pragmatism that Gattuso deserves, in which the defensive system must be sure before thinking of scoring.
