he was amazing in his first season
does not deserve the lambasting he gets, was a classy individual from start to finish even when he was getting significant hate from fans
That was really unclassy of us, he should've been told beforehand. Classy guy. He deserved better. No excuses.
Who should’ve been the captain then back then?.. when the idea was to try kickstart a new project with a young core. Montolivo was the only one who had some experience and was still playing pretty well when we signed him.
anyone else.
because montolivo being the captain was as inconsequential as anyone else being the captain at that period.
in fact, he went on to cause and perpetuate controversy instead of disparaging it.
but there's ppl treating him as if he was fucking Maldini.
apparently you ppl have the memory of a fucking goldfish.

he was being B and G puppet like everyone else during that period. iirc many players came out and blamed seedorf. Its obvious management asked them to say these words. seedorf was stupid himself during this whole fiasco, who said in the media, half of this squad needs to be rid off. in the pitch he always gave his all.
I remember him being a sub-par 'leader' who never really seemed to give a damn, making trouble, consistently playing poorly and putting us in a lot of trouble over, and over again with his insanely poor passing and slow decisions.
I don't remember seeing any actual class at any point. Unless you count the fantasies of some people here.

please dont ever contradict yourself. Seedorf's not a complete dumbass like some of the ppl here. I'm willing to bet that when Seedorf said that to the media, in his mind, Montolivo was included in that group. And if Montolivo really was giving his all on the pitch, then that just makes him more fucking worthless than we think. Because he was god awful on the pitch when we needed him the most.
What they blaming Seedorf for exactly? Telling the truth? Seedorf was the only manager who had the balls to call the then current state of Milan what it really was and I'm sure he had much stronger words he would have liked to share. Berlusconi dont like ppl with balls because it makes him feel inadequate af. Its why the yes man Brocchi came in so quickly. Should Seedorf have said what he did? No. But was he wrong? Fuck no.
Try again. Montoloser has no place amongst the current Milan. Needs to fuck off and be a relic somewhere else.

Why did you make me remember?!i was looking up milan's recent seasons to refresh myself on the dark age and on how this guy became captain.
by the time the 2012-13 season started- nesta, inzaghi, gattuso, seedorf, zambrotta, MVB, oddo, silva, ibra, cassano, and aquilani were all gone and berlusconi still didn't have any money to replace anyone, the remaining players in the squad on paper had made the club a mediocre upper-mid table team, the only senators left were ambrosini, abbiati and fucking bonera
in the first 13 rounds milan only collected 15 points, it was a miracle allegri didn't get sacked then and it was even more of a miracle that milan came 3rd that season and qualified for CL. el shaarawy scored 16 goals in the first half of the season then balotelli came in and him and pazzini picked up the slack in the 2nd half and would you believe montolivo played a starring role in the midfield throughout the season and it was his pass to mexes that created the goal on the last matchday against siena to make it 1-2
and make 3rd place.
by the time the 2013-14 season started- ambrosini, antonini, flamini, yepes, and boateng were all gone and the only guy to come in was kaka... oh and fucking matri so by pretty much process of elimination, montolivo, abbiati and kaka would share the armband
allegri's magic wouldn't work for a 2nd time, he picked up 5 wins in 19 matches and famously got fired after berardi scored 4 goals in a lost to sassuolo 4-3. the season was a disaster, all the players were fucking trash. seedorf came in and very slowly steadied the ship until the end of the season, however seedorf also famously said he didn't want 75% of the squad including montolivo and that caused the majority of the players and management to turn on him
montolivo would never be the same, kaka and abbiati had left leaving him the burden of captaining the most mediocre milan teams in recent memory and he was no where near preforming to his 12-13 form and he would have 2 serious leg injuries (both happening on 2 separate international duties) throughout the following years
montolivo is just complete fodder now, he is a relic of the end of the berlusconi era, he needs to leave when his contract expires next year and never come back
