Five defeats in twelve official matches, six matches with two or more goals lost, zero victories away from the San Siro and 11 points from leaders Napoli (one match more) who beat Milan on Tuesday evening. The cold numbers tell of a Milan in crisis, we read above La Gazzetta dello Sport. It is the worst start to the season since 2019-2020. Then, in the “Piolian” era, the Rossoneri had always done better, at least in the championship.
After nine games in Serie A, Stefano Pioli had never dropped below 20 points. There were 21 last year too, seven more than Paulo Fonseca’s Milan today. Today Fonseca is not yet on the gridiron, but the situation worries the fans above all. The Devil is not only very far from the top, but at the moment he is also out of the Champions League zone, a minimum objective at least on an economic level.
