Curva Sud issue statement ahead of Venezia game: “No more extenuating circumstances” | OneFootball

The Curva Sud Milano have posted a call to arms on their social media accounts, insisting that there can be no more excuses and that results must improve soon.

Milan had a great preseason as they beat Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona in the USA. However, things didn’t quite go to plan from there as the Rossoneri had to come from two goals down to rescue a late draw against Torino, then they lost 2-1 away against newly-promoted Parma.

Most recently they let a lead slip against Lazio before rallying back to earn another 2-2 draw, but that means Fonseca’s side are winless in the first three games and five points behind their main rivals Inter and Juventus – teams that the coach said his side should be battling for the Scudetto with.

With a statement published on their social media channels on the eve of a must-win Venezia game, the Curva Sud wanted to send a clear message to the club after an unsatisfactory start to the season and on the eve of a series of decidedly important matches.

“The start of the season for our Milan has been disappointing to say the least, to the point that it seems like we are reliving the end of the season just gone by.

“These are not our ambitions, nothing and no one can be justified for the embarrassing spectacle shown in the first three games. There are no more extenuating circumstances or lightning rods for anyone, everyone must assume their own responsibilities, no one excluded!

“We invite all the Rossoneri people to meet at 6:45 pm in front of the bus entrance ramp, to make the club, the coach and the players understand that September represents a decisive crossroads for our season! With Milan always in our hearts!”
