Ahead of the clash between AC Milan and Atalanta this evening, Paolo Scaroni spoke to the media and shared his thoughts on the Coppa Italia adventure. He also commented on the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Milan knocked out Cagliari in the Round of 16 and thus advanced to the quarter-finals, taking on Atalanta this evening. It’s a one-legged game and with the support of the home fans, the Rossoneri will be looking to seal their semi-final ticket.
Speaking to Mediaset ahead of the game, as cited by MilanNews, the club president Scaroni shared his thoughts on the Coppa Italia. His response perhaps wasn’t what you would expect, but at least he ended by expressing Milan’s desire to win it this season.
On the Coppa Italia…
“When we talk about the Copp Italia it begs questions, I fear that we play too many matches. And I ask myself ‘Is it really necessary?’. Then since we haven’t won it for 21 years, I say that we have to win it and engrave our name on the trophy.”
On Ibra…
“I saw Zlatan for an hour yesterday, I clarified my ideas. We talked about our past and our future. He is an extraordinary character. He can make a great contribution to RedBird because he is a character. He told me that at Milan, motivation is everything, and he is a great motivator.”
The last encounter with Atalanta finished 3-2 in favour of the Bergamo side, but that was away from home for Milan. This evening, therefore, they will be looking for revenge and clinch an important win in front of the fans.
Scaroni is such a muppet.
What a fool!
How did he get the job?
I don’t know about a muppet ,but talks rubbish .
Every competition she be competed in to win .
It’s a cup after all .The decision to not put Olivier Giroud on after the first half was a mistake..
Also using a very inexperienced player at the back was a mistake…Atalanta deserved to win .
All those fans talking about Giroud being rested is also rubbish…He is still class ,,,and should have been used longer in this game ..When he came on he looked more dangerous than jovic ,,,but it was the correct decision to leave jovic on with Giroud,and indeed crosses into the box dangerous,,especially with to big players on, but Giroud was not brought on soon enough..Any way need Olivier for our next game .
I question the need for Scaroni.
Fair question.
What does he do?
He Scarones about 🤣🤣🤣
“On Ibra…
“I saw Zlatan for an hour yesterday, I clarified my ideas. ”
Lol already you need clarification?!hahaha I suspect Ibra already spoke up or isn’t enjoying the vagueness
“When we talk about the Copp Italia it begs questions, I fear that we play too many matches. And I ask myself ‘Is it really necessary?’. Then since we haven’t won it for 21 years, I say that we have to win it and engrave our name on the trophy.”
Good thing they bought a Serie A team and not a prem team..they have like 10 different cups, games 2 days apart and all sorts of nonsense. Its a small hindrance to the schedule and the most likely trophy we could have gotten. Better figure out quickly as upper management that trophies are what you are after
Scaroni has a history of bizarre comments.
Last year, when Milan started pushing for a 60,000 seats stadium (apparently Maldini was smart enough to object the idea of a small stadium for such a historic club), he said that fans can’t see the match in the upper rings anyway.
That’s not only untrue, it doesn’t make an economic sense for a team that used to fill up San Siro decades ago when its full 85,000 seats capacity was allowed.
This guy is a clown.
