Chuku's best match in milan shirt🔥🔥💯
I think soo...
Agree, playing within the team concept and himself.
What’s crazy is if Musas pass was a second earlier. Christian would have had his 5th in a row
Unless Milan go through a frightful run of form as Juve have recently there’s no way they can seriously sack Pioli. They can lose to Inter and lose to either Liverpool or Leverkusen in the Europa and still say they had a positive season if they lock in second place in the League. Pioli had to integrate a lot of new signings and he had a horrendous run of injuries to deal with. Not to mention a weak back line much of the season. The team is still clicking and doing well. The issues this season out of his control. He needs to be given the tools to go farther.
Tijjani is turning into a world class midfielder infront of our eyes. He's untouchable, this is why he was wanted all over Europe, if he has developed this much in his first season then I can't imagine what he's going to be in the next couple of seasons.
Honestly Kush… I cannot say how on point you are with this video.
From the double gold box, to the reticule on Thiaw “annoying liability”, to the doubt of putting RLC higher up and what he continues to do. So many critical call outs kush 👌
You said what i wanted to say.
Brilliant my match, so happy proper football is back
The last time that Milan had a midfielder like RLC was in the 2010/2011 season, and that guy was Kevin Prince Boateng, and both do shares some similarities in playstyle. Tall, physically imposing, good at dribbling, knows where to be at the right time and right place to score goals and can do some defensive work when needed.
And when to comes to Pioli´s future... IF he is able to win every single remaining match of the season (Including the Derby) and win the Europe League, then he should stay 100%
Prime Boateng was on another level. As much as I love RLC, 10/11 and 11/12 Boateng scored some insane, I repeat, INSANE goals!
Hope RLC keeps his momentum, though
I couldn’t believe how open the game was. We really should have had more than 2. I love the free open play but it’s still crazy how easily we can be broken down needing last ditch tackles to stop big chances. If it was Roma Belotti we would have lost that game. I think Pioli has done a fine job with the team and deserves one more year. RIP to Joe Barrone. You could see his love and passion for the game and it was an emotional game which made our result even more impressive.
I have to give it to Forlani and Moncada. Rejinders is a gem, he is an absolute baller, a pureee midfielder who has sooo much potential. Even if we can’t hold on to all our players which I really hope we will to get back to the top of Europe where Milan belongs. The amount of revenue we can recieved for them will surely allow us to get absolute young phenoms to challenge for cups every year. Love what is going on at Milan it has been overdue. Next season inter are going to have a very very very difficult time playing any game against Milan especially if we get some quality additions
We have to renew maignan. He's not easy to replace.
maignan is easier to replace than either theo or leao. so if a top player has to be sacrificed it's him
I just wanna highlight that Ronaldinho often lost possession as well. It’s one of the reasons Pep didn’t want him on Barcelona when he arrived. I’ve always said that if you want an extravagant player with lots of flair then you need to expect them to make mistakes. These sorts of players take risks and that sometimes leads to mistakes. But it also leads to mesmerizing moments as well of which Leao creates lots of. I hope he never loses his bravery and always tries the magnificent.
And yeah, RLC in that 10 role is perfect in Italy. He’s got the physical qualities to hold onto the ball like a target man but has a ton of technical skill too. The commentator said he reminds him of Kevin Prince Boateng back when he was at Milan and I thought it was a pretty apt comparison for players in their roles.
was patiently waiting for the video
Solid second half for Leao! Love to see it.
Pioli definitely deserves at least another year.
You're right about Maignan! Gotta give Teracciano his flower tho, he stopped so many good shots , great game for both keepers
Sack the medical team who have let us down every season
Finally end of intl break nd what a match ,end to end stuff🎉🎉
Leao is an absolute beast! His quality is world class. I feel like if he stays at Milan next season & Milan wants to win major trophies he has to get at least 20 goals & 10+ assists he has that type of season in him his quality is top notch💯
Wow wow wow. Milan finally look like we are a top team. What a game
You nailed the prediction Kush 👌🏼💯
They are on their way to glory cups and STARDOM. Games like this prove what I said in the past wrong. A mature clinical performance from all AC Milan especially Leao I admit.
Spot on with commentary. Best so far. Also, agree on CP's rest and rational. Best over all game by Sam, smart football.
Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your content Kush, one of the few English Milan content creators and one of the best. Keep it up this is awesome.
tbf if he continues like this he deserves to fulfil his contract
Feel like Giroud warranted a red box. He was awful in front of goal. Not sure I’d have given out gold boxes today. I feel like you should have to have a flawless game to get a Gold box (Mike -> Clean sheet, Leao -> No missed chances). Leao was great today, however it still bothers me how uninterested he can be at times. The goal line clearance could 100% have been a goal if Leao just hustled and used his body to block the clearance into the net. Felt like there were a few times he gave up too easily. Otherwise a great performance where he should’ve had more assists if Giroud could do what he is paid to do 😂
MUSSOLINI OUTRO IS BACK BABY LESGO 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nailed the prediction 😂
Fans and Pioli relationship has become toxic but a change isnt so obvious anymore. He gets the team to start each season in a fantastic and encouraging way and then @&$%'s the bed for a month or two and we lose any hope of glory then goes on another great run to save his job. Apart from the scudetto year, thats happened every season so injuries or not hes the same. So the "hes earned another season" doesnt apply imo. However, the options in the market arent great so i see why people say keep him another year. Its a huge risk to go to Motta or anyone else and its also not guaranteed that Motto will be available and hes the only one most fans agree on. So, overall we still need to be looking for that next leap in coach quality but unless zlatan and the rest have a very strong feeling on someone, i think theyll keep it as is.
Well done kush. Pioli is 100 percent the coach. 3 of his summer signings(RLC, puli, and tigi ) have been elite and world class at times especially when compared to their transfer valuation. This alone should have bought him time and leaniency from the fans. Then factor in that this is their first year in serie A and playing alongside Rafa and Theo and Giroud. Then we bring up the injury crisis. And apart from UCL failure the team has actually over performed. European Soccer fans are the most passionate but can also be the most reactionary fans on earth. Give it time. This team as
Constituted is bound for great things.
Yeees ! This is the Leao Ac Milan needs..
Great video as always man! Thanks for all the great content and enjoy the long weekend
Oh yeah ❤❤
I was on board with keeping Pioli regardless of the Europa League. The injured players that are back are still not in form and yet we are grinding out results. Staying competitive in the EL, and in the league. Inter is having their best season ever, I am not going to complain about 2nd place after 8 new signings and 34 injuries.
The coppa Italia just left a bitter taste n certain draws in winning positions but to what he has been given fair enough, Not many managers will do well with this stingy Americans with their pretentious money n moneyball tactics
milan play very good.forzzza milan❤❤
After Leao got that assist he started cooking
Team ball, isn't it. That's is how good teams win. Knowing when to pass the ball or when to go for the shot. This team is maturing like a fine wine.
We really need a squad depth in some areas, then for Pioli I don't really know his tactics cause if we are going to be competitive in champions league we have to have a great mind behind the scenes
Yes he should be coach if it continues.
As much as the results, the style of play has improved. Quicker ball movement, players seem to have a better idea where other players are positioned, and better off the ball movement. These are the things that lead to better results. My big issue defensively is that one defender doesn't isn't in position to protect the back line when Milan turn the ball over.
For me pioli stayed depand on match against inter, i dont need a win i just need to see that if we can played to level of inter , if that the case, i dont mind to give pioli one more year
It’s tough for me to push for pioli to be sacked if he keeps his performance up when the manager market is significantly weaker than it was a few months ago. They’re gonna have to give him another go next season
social media kids think Motta or De Zerbi are some sort of holy grail of management, when both of them barely done anything
@@Freestyle80 motta arguably has been very promising with Bologna when you consider his budget. But I don’t think the track record is long enough
This game is like Maignan vs Belotti 😃
Yes, I think that Stefano Pioli should continue to coach Milan next season.
4231 has worked well for Pioli. 433 came with terrible games for us. Ruben is 🔥🔥. With a quality right back and striker, we can really do big things, even with Pioli
I'll go with Pioli next year. More chances to win a trophy with him than change coach and more players.
Milan is back and they are roaring. I want this performance to continue in the Europa league and i hope milan wins Europa league. I am glad Giroud is leaving milan for LAFC as he has been inconsistent in front of the goal. We need a striker, period. Malick thiaw has makes me mad, this guy sense of defending is just pathetic. His sense of defending has not been developed completely, no doubt he has the speed but his man-marking and ability to tackle is just piss- poor. He needs to be either sold or pioli engage him in a defence training and hope for the best. Leao has always been the future star but he needs a kick or Little bit of intensity in his game. In Portugal team, i only see leao taking the mantle after CR7 retires because has the game and similarity with Ronaldo but needs that intensity. He is the future ballon dor winner. Don't know what will be the conclusion of investigation of milan allegedly being owned by Elliot management, i just want cardinale to go.
Tomori deserved a green
box
Add a solid cb like Buongiorno or Lacroix, a cdm such as Fofana and a young st like Zirkzee AND minimize injuries, Milan will do much better.
I just don’t see us winning the Europa league with this defense needs to be the first thing addressed this offseason maignan has carried our defense for sure he needs help
The squad looked good overall against a somewhat tough opponent(Fiorentina not a chump team) but there was a little defensive weakness or rather lack of discipline. Reijnders is not a defensive midfielder! Wish we could have Tonali back in our MF
❤🖤❤🖤
I just wish “this Milan team” with the chemistry and health was just now entering champions league… I think they would have been contenders
loftus has 6 of his 10 goals a tap in
only goals not a tap in (long shot vs Calgari) (Header vs Bologna) (Header vs Reins) (Header vs Slavia)
So what Inzaghi scored a ton of tap in goals and he's the 6th highest scorer in all of European football a Milan legend and a legend for the Azzurri, rather keep quiet if you don't know football. Scoring tap ins is called being a poacher. Educate yourself. Inzaghi's tap ins won us 2 Champions League titles. Not to mention his impact for the Azzurri and our World Cup winning effort.
@@bzilla1090 slow down man he was asking in the video how many times loftus scored from the same spot or same play and i just counted
Forza Milan as always ❤
I hope Milan advances in Europa and wins. It'll be a good achievement. For Pioli, I still feel it's time to move on. Need to take a step forward.
how is Motta a step forward? He has done nothing
@@Freestyle80 I'm not in favor of Motta. I would prefer to have Gasperiani or Conte.
They are winning, so let's give the coach credit, esp after all the injuries. Plus, the maturity & development of ACM, in my opinion, has been excellent. They are peaking at the right time and must always keep raising the bar to improve individually & as a team.
It's pronounced Ceao. Malick Ceao. I think there's a video in CZcams that can confirm it.
FORZA MILAN
I think Pioli stays. We'll end up finishing second and probably get to the final or semi final one the UEL. That's pretty good imo. He's no doubt been our best coach since Ancelotti. Doesn't make sense to change things up.
Hi Kush, great video as always. I would love to get your opinion on this: do you really think that Pioli will stay next season if Milan were to play like this and win majority of remaining games+EL. My personal opinion is that he should be sacked no matter the outcome of the season. Because imo we should be looking at things that this team is capable of and not be satisfied with mediocre performances. I think Milan reached the cealing with Pioli and that he s not the one that is capable to make this team fight on 3 fronts: cup, scudetto and europe
No one to replace him suitably
Don’t forget that bennaser fasting now
Kush, you need to re-watch the match. Pioli hauled off Thiaw at half-time for Gabbia.
He didn't play a single minute in that second half.
In 2023 RLC seemed well-rounded, but limited in the attack, IMO. I figured Milan needed a different type of attacking midfielder. Do you think Adli resolved that creativity issue (despite playing further back), and RLC just needed to settle in to find his pockets in the final 3rd?
Every time pioli was on the verge of getting sacked he started winning every Goddamn game. I don't wanna be ungrateful but do you believe second place in seria a and playing in Europa league really suits the Great Ac Milan?
I believe we are on par with points compared to the season we won the league. Inter are just having an insane season. But Inter are in a very precarious position financially while Milan has one of the healthiest coffers in Italy. For the future Milan will challenge and win the title for the next five years alone so long as nothing major gets in the way. We were also in the group of the death for the UCL. It’s unlucky. This season is the season of bad luck. It can’t happen two years in a row right??? 😅
@@kylerodd2342
I hope it won't 😅
The injuries also hit us hard this season, especially in the derby against inter i think if we had tomori that result could have been different nevertheless as you mentioned inter was insane this season and we just couldn't keep up with them cause of the problems
If Chuku starts playing like leao on the right wing imagine how there two will rip off any defence.
Why pioli refuse to give Terracciano a chance to play i hurt u pioli out 😠
I wonder if the new baby at home for Thiaw is taking it's toll on him. When Theo had his first child he kind of fell off for a little while as well, but he bounced back.
It has to be said that Inter is still at only one loss, it is not a reasonable expectation for Pioli to outperform them with challenging international football (unlike Juve) and a huge turnover last summer. Objectively getting clear second place is absolutely ok.
I still want Nagelsman next season
If they fire Pioli, who do you bring instead? I don t think there are so many options available of a better coach then Pioli at this moment
I think Pioli is staying. There’s not really anyone out there that is a step up in quality compared to him. Conte would drastically shuffle up a team that’s already playing well. Tiago Motta is still early in his career and there’s no telling he’ll do well in Milan. De Zerbi’s tactics are very rigid and might damper the attacking prowess of the team. The only coaches I could imagine doing better than Pioli, considering the nature of the squad, would be Ancelotti or Zidane. They have similar philosophies as Pioli, allowing the players to have freedom and letting them break open defenses with individual brilliance. But they’re not coming to Milan. I think if we stick with Pioli, make minimal changes to the squad (defensive midfielder, a center back and a striker), Pioli will have the squad he needs to win trophies for the next few years. This was the first season he’s had a say in squad management. Given a couple more we could see very high synergy between players and staff. If he can’t win a trophy next season then he must go.
yeah were used to pioli doing good in the last matches but still hes finished
I don't like Pioli's tactics at all. Because every football club has its own style of play. Even yesterday there was no play in the midfield. Most of the time was back passing. If they go to the Champions League with this style of play, they will be kicked out. Now we have a perfect squad. To take advantage of that, you need to bring in a coach with a specific style of play.Bennacer said in an interview that if Dezerbi was the coach, he would touch the ball at least 150-200 times in a game. We need a coach with a clear plan. Next season if a good striker comes,Italian defender and a defensive midfielder the team will be fully prepared to face any type of game.
yeah bring De Zerbi and lose 4-0 to Roma and Atalanta every year, 10/10 can't wait
@@Freestyle80 bro one game can't judge a quality of manager. You must look at there squad😂.. Its Brighton not milan
@@MIsharukh yeah? This season they struggled a lot, plenty of games he gets out pressed and very weak to counters and refuses to change his tactics because he prefers to play in his one system
but go on tell me how revolutionary De Zerbi is and how he'll win instantly once he comes here
@@Freestyle80 bro i don't need him to come.. I just told a example what bennacer said in an interview.. I point is that pioi is not suitable for champions league.. There no play of style in our current play
Bro every coach would go out with these medfielders we dont have defensive players in midfield
Bro I really want 2 know what they see in Calabria like he really a fuckup, chakwazi should start again in the league at least so he can get some consistency, we really should get RB bro really
& I think you saw when leao left the match is kinda dead after that, we should not sell him
We just need 2 clean the team
Calabria . flornzi . bobaga . Cdk . Origi . & keep maldini & Colombo as an Italian player, with all the above players we should as least get 55m at least
Then if it comes up 2 sellin an upper level player we can sell mike & is sad & a fuckd up in itself BUT not Theo not leao
My problem is Idk what the management see in Calabria I really don’t bro & I bet on it if we put him in transfer market maybe monza or who ever team in the second up will be willing 2 get him & it’ll be 5-7m
Chuky isn't starting
I know bro but we don’t want it 2 happened like with cdk
I mean yea he wasn’t what we expected BUT we should give some responsibility 4 chucky 2 so he can get some confidence & consistency
@@nouhkdd7745 nah, you don't take off someone with 20 g/a for someone's confidence. If pulisic was playing bad then I would agree. Just no room for chucky.
@@tacticalmanagerbabymommaak5825 I see what you sayin bro, I’m agreein with you, but we still put almost 24m on him so they saw something in him 2 put that amount we had messies & sala last session so all I’m sayin is he still deserve much play time
@@nouhkdd7745 well where is he going to get his minutes? Not on the left or right.
Pioli in
Pioli still need to go still need fresh air
A green box for chucky 😂😂
Pioli should not stay at Milan. We've seen how the team plays in Europe against challenging teams, we've seen that the team doesn't regularly win in Serie A either. He has done well, but we need new ideas.
Does anyone believe Pioli has a 90-95pts season in him at the helm of Milan? If not, there's no way we can win the scudetto considering how many points the winner has had.
Also, does anyone think Pioli will beat Alonsos Leverkusen or Klopp's Liverpool in Europa League? If not, what's the point of keeping him?
I don't care. I want Pioli out. Even if we finish the season hot, we've all seen him get out-coached far too often for me to believe we will ever win another trophy with him at the helm. His tactics are pretty pedestrian, if they're there at all, and just because Rafa scores wonder goals or super runs to help us barely win a game and bail us out, that's no reason to keep such a mediocre manager around. We could be a WORLD CLASS club with the exact same players, but a better manager. Pioli is by far the weakest link in this club. Don't let a desperate late season run fool you on that.
yeah when Mian hire Motta they'll win treble every year I guarantee it
Thats how he is always. Clearly a gifted talent but makes bad decisions and wastes many chances. Still he ends up the darling.
Not a dominant performance. Fortunate to get the win.
Milan played very well until the subs of Leao & Reijnders. Should have been 5-1 easily
I’ve never doubted padre pioli.
I really want us to look at the Pioli for the whole season. We probably need a retrospective and not just follow instant culture. For me it's a meh. The market for free coaches isn't great either.
lol 😅
We had the worst injury record in the league
But somehow we’re still second
And to you it’s an average season??
Even klopp and pep won’t be top if they had our injury record!
Appreciate your own!
Pioli isn’t perfect
But he guarantees top 4 100%
@@jerrycloward7570 First off, it would be nice to be respectable among fans of the same team.
Second, you need to look at each match throughout the season. Not once to we show defensive consistency. Some of it was due to the injuries (which were the worst in Europe top leagues, not just Serie A), but a lot had to do with the defensive tactics. Not having player capable of playing single pivot was a problem. We also fail to kill matches by going for the second or third goal. This was without the injuries. Last night, without magic Mike, this match would have ended in a draw.
Third, a guarantee of top 4 isn't the standard anymore. We need to convince in Europe (like, not draw 0-0 at the San Siro vs Newcastle).
For sure there are positives, but we still have a LOT to work on every aspect.
If we have to give the guard of honor to Inter after another derby loss, that's REALLY hard to defend. We need to look at the greater picture. I agree about the positives, but the negatives are screaming to our faces.
@@jerrycloward7570
Top 4 isn't anything to be proud of, it's an obligation. Any proper milan coach needs to guarantee it.
Our injury situation was the worst in Europe's top flight, not just serie A. But the fact is don't kill matches, and have never this season even with a nearly full squad. That is a problem that costs us points.
Add to this the unconvincing performances in Europe like against Newcastle at home and Dortmund and Rennes away. This Milan side has struggled a lot more than the numbers suggests.
I disagree about thiaw. We've seen what he can do. He's a great investment. This season is already done for us and he's still young and that's how he sees this. Next season he'll be class. And I hope we bring cdk back and keep him but if I know our management we will sell him which will be a huge mistake.
Pioli need to be changed guys.
Our defense is porous. We can't win leagues with such defense. With the exception of Tomori, we do not have quality center backs. Kjaer is old. Thiaw and Kalulu are injury-prone, and Calabria is not AC Milan quality. We need at least three quality defenders.
What do you think of Gabbia? I think him and Tomori could be a good partnership back there if given time to gel. Gabbia has been pretty solid since coming back from loan. We do need a couple more for depth, though, as you said, and a RB for sure.
Yes you are correct. Gabbia has been good, but we need to see him replicate this form next season to be sure. Kalulu and Thiaw gave us the same impression earlier, and then went downhill. But yes! He should start with Tomori for the rest of the season.
Don't do this to yourselves. Pioli MUST go, he isn't and will never be a big club coach. Pioli don't lose the remaining 9 games. , especially inter match.
Leao has talent , can become a very important player for us but for me If you can get that release clause I think milan can do more with that money. Leao inconsistent play.
My problem with Pioli is with rotation and integration. And I don't see him changing anytime soon and that's why I want him out. For example With Gabbia's current form Malik shouldn't be getting to start any match soon but Pioli must be Pioli.
milan should buy haaland after selling pobega for 200m
Sarcasm? lol 😂
Pioli should be sacked no matter what he can't shuffle the team okafor, chukuweze n Musa won't play plus rainders is always being played out of position
Yes you can sack him still. He is absolutely trash. He is not good I swear I can't see how people want to keep him. Over all he's bad. We need another coach. Not a yes man...
