Milan drew yesterday at San Siro against Genoa 3-3. A fluctuating match with a dramatic finish, between the silence of the stadium and the organized Rossoneri support that left the second blue ring in the 80th minute. The away team equalized two minutes from time thanks to Thiaw’s own goal. The Rossoneri have already played six matches without a win. The last one, a month ago in Lecce, where the Devil won 3-0. Last night, Luca Marchetti commented on the very tense situation at Milan during the program SkySport 24 ‘Open Field‘ after the Milan-Genoa match.

On the end of the Pioli cycle
“For me, Pioli’s three-year period remains positive. This three-year period is over, that is, this cycle is over, for a series of reasons. For the expectations that have become too high compared to the quality of Milan, of the squad. Having such a large gap from Inter in the Milan environment is absolutely not pleasant. Then of course, Inter have a better squad than Milan, but not 20 points away in the standings. Or having had the opportunity during the year to undermine Inter’s path. Juventus did it for the first part of the championship, Milan not even in the first part. The Rossoneri were much more consistent than the Bianconeri, but Inter was never attacked just to undermine them. The journey in the Champions League was certainly not positive.”
“In my opinion, these are all elements that have led to the increasingly important disconnect between Pioli and the environment. And they probably also led the company to make some assessments on what Pioli’s path has been. It’s not a drama if a cycle ends. Even if Milan had finished the championship in an important way, better, the cycle would have ended anyway. Society has every right to change. But if we evaluate Pioli’s career at Milan… Pioli brings Milan back to the Champions League. With Pioli you win the championship. Pioli still takes the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League.”
“We know very well that the coach is the first person responsible when the results go badly and the first one we praise when the results go well because he manages to find the perfect conditions to be able to operate. But objectively this year, among the AC Milan players, who had a great season? Of those you would have bet on, Theo Hernandez, Leao, Giroud had a good season. Loftus-Cheek made a good contribution. The others, due to injuries, due to a season that went wrong, did not perform as much as could be expected. If everyone at Inter did much better today, they didn’t do that at Milan.”
