Il Giornale: The 3 topics of discussion in Montella-club meeting

A peaceful and serene confrontation, without wanting to give any ultimatums or lean towards incurable fractures. This is the climate of the yesterday meeting at Casa Milan that saw Vincenzo Montella report to the rossoneri leadership.

CEO Marco Fassone and s;ports director Massimiliano Mirabelli focused – according to Il Giornale – in three primary topics for AC Milan’s seasonal fate. First of all, they discussed about the physical condition of the team, which is too fluctuating and the players appear to be discharged at certain crucial moments of the game, especially in the league. In this regard, coach Montella has been asked to make an immediate decision on the new athletic trainer, also to give way to a different working method in comparison to the experience with Emanuele Marra.

The second topic concerns the climate in the dressing room of AC Milan, that doesn’t appears too light and calm. In recent days many Italian media have spoken of a negative effect from the signing of Leonardo Bonucci and his immediate appointment as captain (read here), but in reality Vincenzo Montella has assured that in Milanello the climate is always relaxed and that there is much respect for the hierarchies chosen by the technician himself.

Finally, Marco Fassone and Massimiliano Mirabelli demanded clarification about the rossoneri’s declining numbers for the time being. Already 3 defeats in Serie A, 10 goals conceded in seven weeks and what’s most troubling, halved ratings for so many elements like Gigio Donnarumma, Suso and others. In this case it is impossible for Vincenzo Montella to give an adequate answer, but it is easier to promise greater commitment on the field and a work strategy that can give its fruits immediately.
