After
reasonable success in their friendlies against Lega Pro sides, Milan put in two
very poor performances against real teams in the ICC Tournament friendlies thus
far. The mercato shows no promise, and to make things worse, the Serie A
schedule was released and we face a very difficult start. So if you still have
any hopes for this season, your worst fears seem to be being realized. We tried
to find the small positives in what is shaping up to be another very painful
season for Milan fans.
More fears than hopes |
