Saturday's loss to Inter Milan (0 x 4) just proved the point I made some time ago about how AC Milan won't be very successful this season. Ronaldinho has shown glimpses of his old self, Pato is slowing developing into a star, and Thiago Silva will be one of the best defenders in the Serie A, but not right now. The rest of the squad just doesn't seem to respond well to new coach Leonardo.
As I mentioned before, AC Milan did nothing to replace the departure of Kaka to Real Madrid. Instead, they decided to pocket 65 Million Euros instead of providing first year coach Leonardo with reinforcements. The evidence was clear who will come out on top this season, and that is Inter Milan.
All Inter did this offseason was exchange goal-scoring strikers (Ibrahimovic for Eto'o), sign Diego Milito, Thiago Motta, and Lucio. Not to mention their new signing Wesley Sneijder, who started against AC Milan and proved the world that he was worthy of staying at Madrid playing alongside the rest of the stars signed by that club. The results of this will possibly be another Serie A title and maybe even the Champions League.
AC Milan's fate are on the feet of one player: Ronaldinho Gaucho. Milan will play as he plays, but as much as I hate to admit this, I think his time has passed. I really hope he comes back to form as club president Silvio Berlusconi has put all his faith on Ronaldinho to lead Milan after dealing Kaka, but I just don't see that happening.
P.S. - Gattusso is an idiot for getting a red card seconds before getting substituted out because of an injury!!!
