The Rumour Commode XLI: Ragnarok

Who was the exact team we fielded vs inter when we won 3-2

Surprise

 

[Kmoney]

Why has Rafa not renewed… thought it was meant to be done already. Is he having a meltdown like the rest of us?

He's doing it on Thursday, after he drops a hattrick against Merda in the UCL to take us to the finals.

The best forum on earth for the best team in Milano

Forza INDA Forum?

bennacer out is the only player we can’t field in the 2nd leg, yes?

And, Zlatan?

 

[assa.abloy]

Pal, you should honor the code

short intro

how you became a milan fan will suffice

don’t start off on the wrong foot

ok

 

[General]

And, Zlatan?

He wasn’t called up for that inter match when we ran them off the pitch

the renewal might subject to our UCL qualification

I edited the post if makes it any better but the point still stands and I hope people won’t ignore it because it hurts their feelings.

This forum loves to shit on Bennacer and (Krunic) for that matter non-stop on our midfield struggles, which might be fair mind you, but Tonali has not done any favours for himself either. I expect the most from him since I think he’s the most talented player in our midfield. I saw it last season, he was clear of everyone else in our midfield

But okay sure noted on the Inter trolls twitter. Will try to avoid in the future.

I think they should play him at AM because he has a decent shot and is pretty fast. His long passing has been disappointing this season but closer to goal I trust him more than Benna or Diaz.

 

[pippofan]

that's 5 times as much as a rich american here usually bets

I bet two dollars once on a dog race and won five. After that I quit because I wanted to go home a winner.

My lineup vs Inter



Can replace Saele/Diaz I don’t mind but my worry with Diaz is that he’s too weak. Inter players are much stronger than him. Diaz at CAM yeah I’m sorry we will get overran again, need some physicality hence I choose Pobega

4-2-3-1 with Pobega as the AM is fine by me by the way. I mean really same shit anyway.

Do not put Pobega as the DM to distribute balls though, that’s suicidal as he can’t really pass.

 

[Dokoa]

Brighton plays so good . Paolo sign De Zerbi NOW!

 

[Wild]

Charles needs to play ass

100%

 

[Ash-ish]

This forum loves to shit on Bennacer

you are posting like the Twitter folks you quote. People don’t shit on Bennacer they give him motm every game.

 

[Hugh Janus]

De Zerbi is HIM

 

[pippofan]

Where did you read that? You’re absolutely correct that CDK lost his first ball, but the fact that you specifically remember that and want to criticize it is weird. We lost the game 2-0. The problems at Milan are much bigger than him.

CDK has been the victim of something akin to high-school bully journalism and analysis. No one will tell you he’s been a success, infact many blame him solely for our lack of progression as a team due to his pricetag. But the kind of pyschoanalysis and criticism he’s received has crossed the line many times. I can’t count how many Milan-focused journos have called him a “loser” and a “scared kid”. What the fuck is that? To know why Italy has a problem with aging and renewal, look now further than its football. Old men without foresight control everything and won’t relent. Thats why we can’t build a stadium. Young players are crucified when they don’t immediately fulfill the dreams of old men who want the riches ala-Berlusconi to return. No one has the patience to plant fruit and allow it the time and environment to flower and blossom, we want to just transplant the finished projects even when we can’t afford it. Everything thats happened to CDK has been a microcosm of this. In the beginning he had a spark but after a few bad results and he hadn’t shown to be the next Kaka (a ridiculous comparison every young playmaker gets at Milan) people started to turn on him. A 21 year old who came grom the Belgian league wasn’t immediately a contributor to our already broken team:
“sell him!”
“loser”
“look at his face (?)”
“fuck that guy!”

Here’s the problem. We’re not going to get rich any time soon, so whether you like it or not we HAVE to support young players as they go through these growing pains. We don’t have a choice. 32 M in 2023 gets you a promise, not a ready made champion. Teams like Madrid understand this when they pay 40 and 50 Million for 16 year olds from Brazil. But then they protect those players, they give them time to grow. He’re in Milan we have 50 year old men calling our players “losers”. How do you think that effects the players pysche? All the pressure on CDK to justify his pricetag is going to see him leaving and realizing his potential elsewhere exactly like Paqueta. And we’ll be worse off for it, financially and on the pitch.

Also, these rose colored glasses people see Adli through has to stop. When he plays a bad game you’re going to do the same thing to him you’ve done to other young players in this team. Lets be objective, the guy throws the ball away. He’s trying- he’s seeing movement in front of him and trying to create. Its good to have a player who passes the ball forward and we desperately need that, but Adli is allergic to keeping posession it seems. He tries every pass. The riskiest pass he just goes for it. And because we’re so anemic for guys to do that we go, “thats what has been missing!” when in reality if we watched him play week in and week out that would get old FAST. He needs an extend run in the team without pressure. Adli has the potential to be something akin to Luis Alberto at Lazio, an assist master. But we haven’t really seen him do that yet, so the superlatives need to be put on hold. Lets acknowledge him in missing passes, but applaud him for trying them at the same time.

I read it on the online edition of Il Corriere della Sera, a daily Milan newspaper with a good sports section. It's true they didn't score on CDK's error but it set the tone for the rest of his performance where he played it mostly safely. When you pay a big price for a player the expectations are higher than for the others. Kvara adapted immediately to serie A while De Kat continues to struggle so fans are disappointed and continue to doubt his talent. Especially for a club that is not a big spender and most of the funds allocated for the mercato were spent on one player. At the end I was happy that we got him, seeing all the hype, but in hindsight wish we went a different way. Hope he proves me wrong and has a fantastic career with us.

De Zerbi is HIM

The way the players constantly moving
Oh we need him

 

[rossonero1]

Points Milan collected during the 2nd half of the season during the banter era. Today they are at 23 points with 3 games remaining.

 

[MilanMB]

Can we get Carlo back?

 

[Qaas]

Now I can’t even make fun of Arsenal fans

 

[SecondStar]

Caicedo and estupiñan are gems. Arsenal bossed in their own ground. The match ended with Brighton holding possession and their fans singing ole ole ole

 

[leaf]

Pioli doesn’t even know what his position is. A 6’4” center forward with good feet and vision arrived at Milanello, scored a hattrick in his first preseason game and Pioli thought… “Hmmm, I think I’ll play him as a midfielder!”

MmmMmmMmmm

 

[ROSSONERI7]

Time to open up another bottle of Vodka aye

Better take a second glance

Time to open up another bottle of Vodka aye

Friendly reminder that this absolute dingus has been here 3 or 4 years AND was specifically hired to get the stadium deal done, largely because he was previously convicted of like bribery or some shit so we figured he could get the job done.

And we’ve made exactly 0 progress. Probably because that 75,000 he had stolen from his trunk like an idiot was his entire bribe budget

 

[iamditi]

maybe we will play against Brighton next season in Europa League.

I'm glad we are all on the De Zerbi wagon now, let's hope it happens. That and a Leao renewal remain my only wishes

Can't believe Pioli has lasted this long

That dumbfuck has been in Giampaolomode since November
