With our boys in lockdown at Milanello this week, it raises
the question: Does a ritiro actually
work? By having a “slumber party” all week, will it create enough intensity for
Milan to overcome the deficit in quality and beat Juventus? Or even play well?
Or will it feel more punitive and have the opposite effect, demoralizing the
players and having them play worse (if that’s possible)? Will this slumber
party bring sweet dreams or will it bring nightmares?

Diego Lopez’ wife spoke out against the ritiro on Instagram
asking how she was supposed to explain to her daughter why daddy wasn’t coming
home, which earned her some hate from Milan fans. Then there were reports that
Bacca was not particularly happy about it Sunday after the game as well. Is
there anyone at all who actually likes
a ritiro? But the biggest question is do you think it will be effective? Take
the poll and let us know in the comments what you think.
