The declassing of the Giant.

AC Milan's captain Leonardo Bonucci consoling Gianluigi  Donnarumma as fans draw huge banner insulting the goalkeeper. With practically no surprise, AC Milan faced another thumping loss to newly promoted team Hellas Verona who are sitting in the relegation zone. The humiliating  3-0 loss  continued to throw salt in the wounds of players, coaches, staff and above all the fans. Fans have shown that they are quite frankly fed up of the team's performances and results and they pretend that results will be coming their team's way as soon as possible. Problems also seem to have been arising internally in the team's structure. The club's quite new owner and President who took over the team last April, is looking for other major stakeholders to again takeover the team. This shows negative signs regarding next summer's transfer market as AC Milan will be financially very limited and as we all know, being financially limited in today's market wins you no trophies...

Round-up of Serie A weekend and a look on European fixtures during the week.

Introduction to my Football Blog

Earlier last week I was assigned by one of my University professors to write a blog weekly about a topic which is to my liking. As I am a student who is very fascinated by politics and travelling I found it a little bit difficult to find the topic on which I would be writing on my blog. However, no such topic could beat my perennial love for football or as known by Canadians and Americans, soccer. My love for the game was triggered by my uncle who supports AC Milan, a team based in Italy. Growing up in the golden age of this team it was inevitable that I would stick to this team my whole life.
