If we wanted to be sarcastic, we would write that AC Milan has currently been able only to defeat the new champion Napoli and nobody else. Rossoneri are in terrible form in the worst possible moment. Apart from two wins (1-0 and 4-0) against Napoli, who plays the best football in Italy, Stefano Pioli’s men failed to win against much weaker teams, and if they don’t qualify for the Champions League next season, which is highly likely, they will look at the games against Empoli, Salernitana, Udinese and the last one, Spezia, as the lost opportunities. AC Milan either drew or lost against these relegation-struggling teams, and the Spezia defeat came just after the embarrassing home loss to arch-rivals Inter in the Champions League and before the second leg on Tuesday against Nerrazuri. So, the Milan Ultras decided to ‘talk’ to the team after the loss, which could get Pioli and the players into trouble since the Prosecutor decided to investigate the matter further, which is only one more unwanted distraction ahead of the big match.🔴🗣️ Leaders of the Milan ultra group (Curva Sud Milano) spoke to Pioli and their team after the 2-0 defeat to Spezia. pic.twitter.com/Gau10Pwiqh— EuroFoot (@eurofootcom) May 13, 2023 After the final whistle, the player and coach went to the stands, and cameras caught a back-to-back argument between Milan Ultras, Pioli and players, as the fans were clearly not happy with the fact that their club Milan have won only two of their last seven league matches.Spezia take advantage of wounded Rossoneri – AC Milan slipping away from the European eliteEverybody tried to play down the incident afterwards. Milan president Paolo Scaroni said:“I was told a nice gesture, one of encouragement that showed how much the fans care about the team. I see it as a positive incident” said Scaroni, while Simon Kjaer, who was present, said after the game: “They said this evening was insufficient, but there is a game on Tuesday where we need to just cancel today and prepare for another war. I saw it in a positive way, I have been surprised by how our fans have been close to us at all times, even when we played badly. I realise it might not be a good look, but they were right behind us”.Iniziato il corteo della Curva Sud a Milanello per sostenere la squadra in vista del derby dj martedì (via @AntoVitiello) pic.twitter.com/Yi1vz4MEgI— MilanNews.it (@MilanNewsit) May 14, 2023 But those comments were not enough for the Prosecutor’s Office of the Football Federation, who decided to further investigate on the matter. He wants to determine if the talk was a simple incitement in view of the next tenders or a threat. The FIGC Sports Justice Code, in this regard, presents a provision that prohibits the so-called “public pillories” to which players can lend themselves to please some of the most extreme fringes of the various fan groups, as per Sky TG24. And on Sunday, over 1000 fans supporters gathered outside Milanello to show support for Stefano Pioli and his players ahead of the crucial match on Tuesday against Inter. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7251999##
