‘Hadn’t spent €100m’ – Montolivo compares current Milan team to his experience | OneFootball

Riccardo Montolivo has offered his take on the current situation at AC Milan, even comparing it to the Rossoneri team of his day, and it is not positive.

Regardless of the current position of this Milan team, there is a rebuild happening at the club. However, results should not have dwindled this much, especially when we look at the amount invested on the pitch.

Two questions arise from that then: Are the players struggling to hit the levels expected or them, or are the people recruiting the talent looking for the wrong players in the wrong places?

Ultimately, at a time when the management are heavily criticised, the fallback is on them, with many believing that the recruitment has been the big problem of this season, even in terms of the head coach.

So today, Montolivo gave a review of the situation to Sky after the defeat to Napoli, and Milan News have relayed his words.

“My Milan was not this Milan, it was under construction, it had not spent 100 million on the market, it did not have this quality. Now they are ninth, and there are many reflections to be made.

“In the second half against Napoli, almost everything came from the left flank, so with Theo and Leao. Milan have a lot of quality, but they can’t express it. If Conte were in charge at AC Milan, the Diavolo’s ranking would be different.”
