Albertini: Even if he wins the Italian Cup, Milan s performance this season is still unacceptable

May 14th, at 03:00 on May 15th, AC Milan will compete with Bologna for the championship in the final of this season's Italian Cup. Albertini talked about topics related to this game in an interview.

Outlook for this game

I believe we will see a wonderful final, what Milan has been missing this season is stability, but the team played very well in the knockout round. Bologna also played well this season, and their performance in sports competition surpassed last season. In the final, the odds of winning that the outside world evaluated before the game were not that important. When I was a player, Milan won the Champions League as the unpopular side, and also lost the game as the optimistic side. Therefore, it doesn't matter who is more optimistic before the game, what matters is Milan's performance on the court. This season we have seen Milan in various shapes (referring to Milan's performances sometimes good and sometimes bad), while Bologna's performance is more stable.

What do you think is the problem with Milan?

I will not pay too much attention to the new formation, but rather, I should pay more attention to Kong Sesan having time to understand the players and making some choices. At first, Concesan kept changing players in the starting lineup, which also gave the team a different way of playing, but now Milan has some players performing, which can be said to be more or less stable, Concesan made some difficult choices. What I want to say is that what is more important is how to understand the team's tactical system and what is built within the team. And we cannot forget that it is not easy to make changes in January, and it is not easy to integrate new players into a team that has been running-in since the summer.

Do you think if Milan wins the Italian Cup, can you say they "save" the season?

For me, it is not the case, and I hope Milan can lift the trophy and celebrate the victory, because winning the game is always difficult. However, I think from Milan's history, they cannot be too far from the goals they set, nor can they ignore the fans who go to the stadium to cheer every game, and Milan's performance this season is unacceptable.
