Many people complaining about AC Milan and their coach Stefano Pioli because of the results they got recently and especially because of losing the game against Inter Milan a few days ago.
But Marco Tardelli the Italian legend started defending Stefano Pioli and he said Pioli is not alone and the players also made some mistakes, also he said Pioli made a mistake in letting other people (Ibrahimović) make a gap between him and the fans to put Pioli under pressure.
A manager is not solely responsible for a team's defeat. Considering the opponent, if the players cannot play the strategy that the manager asked the players to play on the field, then the manager has nothing to do. The manager can give you direction from outside the field but the manager cannot play on the field, the players have to play on the field. AC Milan fans can complain about his tactics. If he can't do the right strategy then it's okay to complain about him but if he is criticized for losing the match after using the right strategy then it's nothing but boredom of the fans.
Personally I think Stefano Pioli is an experienced enough manager and I think he can be tactical enough but if the management doesn't like his tactics they have to think of alternatives.
Stefano Pioli has been coaching AC Milan for 4 seasons and he has provided a lot of evidence that he is a coach who is quite capable of coaching this team, but the current lot of criticism is quite normal when the team is in decline, but I don't think this is a big burden. what he has to bear, this weekend's narrow win against Verona was enough to get them back into a positive trend.
AC Milan has only lost once in Serie A this season, but why are many people criticizing it, I think it is quite strange because in terms of performance the AC Milan team is already very good, they just need to maintain their consistency.
Stefano Pioli has been in charge of AC Milan for four seasons and how is he being directly blamed for the team's poor performance. And if he did not have the ability to manage the team, he would not have been responsible for AC Milan for four seasons. As he is a manager, he has to face criticism. But hopefully he has enough patience to overcome this criticism and answer the critics with the performance of the players. Critics like you do good regularly they don't see those good things but whenever something bad is done by you they magnify the bad thing that is one of the great quality of critics.
