Capello: AC Milan once again shows lack of personality, and the defender has been beating his feet for a long time and no one dares to take responsibility

May 15th Bologna defeated AC Milan 1-0 and won the Italian Cup again after 51 years. Italian celebrity Capello Chimilan Sports Daily wrote an article on the column about this game, and the following is the translation of the article:

Bologna is ascending to heaven, the Red and Black Legion... falls into hell. The Red and Blue Army won the cup again after 51 years, holding the Italian Cup high at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, a blessed place for them. This is a legitimate reward for the club's outstanding work over the past two years and an exciting performance by Idalino this season. Replacement of Thiago Mota, who led Bologna to the Champions League, was not easy for Idalino, especially after losing Zilkize and Calafiori. However, Idalino has created a masterpiece that, with Giovanni Satori, has rarely missed the signings.

Winning strike

Bologna deserves the trophy, although to be honest, this game in Rome is not a great commercial for Italian football. The game wasn't good, and the Red and Blues won with Endoye's winning blow - not only was he generous, but also an important player - but they played more enjoyable at other times this season. It's normal, everything gets more complicated in the finals. Although Bologna did not create many opportunities, he scored a goal and held the victory well. By contrast, Milan's performance inevitably became the focus. How is Concesan's team performing? Apart from a few flashes of Raphael Leo in the first half, the Ross and Blacks did nothing and had zero chances. Milan's only real chance came in the opening game, the chaos of Skrupsky Jovic. There was almost nothing afterward. When he was behind, Concesan tried to send more forwards, but Idalino learned from his experience of losing the final while coaching Fiorentina, solidified the defense and gave almost no room for the opponent. After Leo disappeared, the only highlight was Chukueze's performance in the last moment (can he have appeared earlier?). It was too trivial in a season-old final.

The lack of personality

It is no accident. Milan dramatically lacks a mature style of play. For most of the game, the defenders have been stumbled against Minion low, and no one dares to take responsibility for a long pass or a breakthrough. Can I play like this in the final? I don't think so. In addition to Concesan, the players once again showed a lack of personality. This defeat is a logical result and deserves it. No other topic, including the referee dispute, cannot be concealed. If you want to criticize referee Mariana, it is mainly in stoppage time in the second half. 6 minutes of stoppage time, but the game was interrupted after Bologna led, which is a common regret in Italian football. I definitely look forward to more stoppage time, but…these are just small details. The Italian Cup final defeat will force Milan to make a more important decision. The club has been waiting and watching over the past few months, but Roma's defeat is undeniable, the league performance is very disappointing, and the Champions League was eliminated by Feyenoord - this is not Barcelona. Milan cannot continue like this next year, and I hope the management understands this.

Crown

So Bologna celebrated with all their heart, and they continued the "sports miracle" of last season. But in fact, the word "miracle" is not appropriate. Because as long as you work well, you will get results. As we said before, the night at the Olympic Stadium is just the crowning of the Red and Blue Legion’s work for at least two years. First is the player choice (we mentioned Endoye, but even though he didn't perform well yesterday, how much I like Osolini…), then Mota then chose Idalino afterwards. This is not easy, because many people think that Bologna's performance in the 2023-24 season is almost accidental. However, here's the truth. There is an extra trophy in the trophy cabinet, after a long-term high-ranking season that has not yet ended. Sincere congratulations.
