So AC Milan are now losing to Genoa. Before you say anything, I could care less where Genoa are in the league table or their form or any of that. THIS IS AC MILAN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE! I did not catch all of the game, just the goal and some bits of play. But this is a much bigger picture people as to what will be a loooooooooooong fix for AC Milan.
Milan don't have the players to really mount a serious title challenge. You can forget about Europe, it is domestically with how the teams are playing around them and the points they are picking up that Milan will find it very hard.
The very fact that the French Chef is somehow wearing the captain's armband and is allowed anywhere NEAR a football pitch just goes to show the huge issue that Milan have. There is just not that strong and deep soul in this Milan team that one is accustomed to with the ones of yesteryear. Because that was Milan's strength. It was never about flash or winning by five goals. It was their character and soul. Only a club with character can come back a year later after the horror of Istanbul and exorcise their demons by beating that same team that tormented them the year before.
Inzaghi has to find men and players with big characters and use them to WIN games. Not about playing in a fancy way or looking pretty, none of this 5-4 rubbish but GRINDING OUT games. Using all the little tricks that Maldini and the gang used back in the day. Because that's how MOST teams win titles. Not everyone are the Arsenal invincibles or Barcelona in that tookie-leekie era. The safest and most assured bet....GRIND THAT BOOTY OUT!
Let's see what January brings. Inzaghi has to dip into that market and really bring a mix of young talent with some of the older, experienced heads who can get into a fight. If he can find the perfect blend of flair and thuggishness, then that could be a recipe for catching Sampdoria and Napoli.
