AC Milan has started a new season with a poor performance, they usually struggle when playing against new promoted clubs. Last season, they drew their first game against Torino and lost their second match to Parma, who were promoted, and this season, they lost to Cremonese, who were just promoted to the Serie A. Milan midfield was poor, despite that they dominate ball possession, the opponent still won the game.
Milan had 24 shots in the game, 6 were on target, but they only scored one goal. Ruben Loftus Cheek looks terrible in that game, AC Milan needs to sign another young midfielder because Ruben Loftus Cheek and Fofana will not strengthen their midfield as much as they want, they need to bring in a replacement for Tijjani Reijnders, who they sold to Manchester City last season. Since they are not competing in any European competitions this season, I expected them to perform better.
I can’t say that Milan played badly against Cremonese, because they dominated the whole match and had many shots on goal, but maybe they were just unlucky that day. I think the next few games will show how good or bad Milan really are. They definitely need to strengthen their attack, at least they need Leão to return to the game, since he missed the first match due to injury. But besides that, I would also like to see another good forward in the team. I really hope the transfer window is still open and Milan will still have time to make it happen.
