Gattuso, three games to heal Milan: Conte lurking
AC Milan is on the brink of a potential turmoil. Gennaro Gattuso and squad must react immediately after the recent disappointing displays or risk consequences.
The third consecutive draw against opponents of lower level have triggered the alarm at Casa Milan. Not by chance, the day after the disappointing match with Empoli, the leaders of Via Aldo Rossi (Scaroni, Gordon Singer, Leonardo, Maldini and some members of the Board) gathered to to discuss the situation. The extreme delicacy of this moment is evident, but the management, reports La Gazzetta dello Sport, does not want to raise the tone, but to deliver a strong signal of closeness and trust to the team and coach.
ANGER – Most of the question marks, writes La Gazzetta, inevitably concern the head of Gennaro Gattuso, who has not yet managed to find the right countermeasures to the many problems that afflict his players. Rino was reported quite angry in the locker room after the game with Empoli.
With only one win in five games, in fact, AC Milan has already distanced itself a lot from the Champions League positions, the declared goal of the season. The technician did not receive an ultimatum (the management has not preferred to use the iron fist), but it is clear that an immediate change of course is expected.
CONTE – Gattuso is not immune to mistakes, just like the players. The calendar runs and puts the coach in front of the week of truth: Sassuolo, Olympiacos and Chievo are three games where failure is not an option. The Rossoneri must win all these three games if Rino wants to spend quietly the upcoming international break that will lead to the derby. In the event that the results will struggling to arrive, the ghost of Conte (invoked by fans on social) would inevitably return to haunt him.
