Scaroni irritates Milan fans: “Season not so bad”

A.C. Milan president Paolo Scaroni has angered Rossoneri fans on social media for words spoken during an event at San Siro organized by the newspaper Il Foglio: “I do not feel I can say that the season is just totally negative, I remember that we won the Italian Super Cup”.
“The fans are the focus of our attention, it is so important to have them by our side even in such a difficult season like this. They are showing resilience, putting up with the team even when performances are not brilliant”.
The market moves: “Being active in the market is one thing, then being successful is another. Some of the signings we have made have been great successes, becoming long-term Milan players with very good performances. Whereas other signings have been less successful, certainly Morata was not a great operation for so many reasons. Reijnders and Pulisic in particular have had consistently very good returns, then Leao excites everyone”.
“We intend to continue this policy of ours of being active especially on young people, so we will continue to strengthen the team. Furlani is in charge of that first of all, then there’s also Ibrahimovic along with our whole team. We would like to have a great season next year. Zlatan is an added value for Milan and for RedBird, he is a RedBird consultant loaned to Milan”.
