Sassuolo-Milan Preview: Complacency Hangover

Milan travel to Sassuolo Sunday afternoon to face our Kryptonite team, which are, coincidentally green. And with perfect timing, Berardi, who has scored the most against Milan, will be back from suspension to face us. Coming off of a disappointing stretch where Milan lost four matches after going 24 unbeaten, Milan need to win enough of our final four matches to ensure we play in the Champions League next season. And although the Mapei is where we won our Scudetto four years ago, and we have not lost there since 2016, Milan have. not been playing convincing football. After the scoreless draw with Juventus last week, Milan will need to be wary of a complacency hangover.

Let's win this for Modrić.

In this fourth year of Gerald & Friends' ownership, I think most people are finally understanding what I was trying to say. And with another 0-0 draw with Juve, two more dropped points in our pursuit of a Champions League qualification spot, the message is very clear. However, just in case people missed it, the Curva Sud were there to remind everyone, as they created a €139 formation in protest of the €139 price tag for the tickets for this match. The quality of football has gone down, the price of tickets have gone up, and the San Siro has become more of a tourist destination for the wealthier foreigners than it is a fortress for passionate Milan fans. And that, my friends, is the price of mediocrity.

The price of mediocre football, a Curva robbed of their colors, and a stadium of tourists
