AC Milan have found themselves in a precarious position after a dismal second half of the season, a period that has seen the club accumulate a paltry 25 points. This tally, according to data gathered by GoalZaza, represents the lowest return for the Rossoneri in the second half of a Serie A campaign in nine years. For a club of Milan. �s pedigree, this is an uncharacteristic slump that has placed their UEFA Champions League qualification in serious jeopardy. The powers that be at the San Siro must be deeply concerned, as the team. �s form has been anything but clinical; the once formidable defence has leaked goals, while the attack has lacked the cutting edge required at this level. This recent form suggests a side that has lost its way, and in the scheme of things, the 25 points tell a story of a team that has failed to give a good account of themselves when it matters most. The lion. �s share of the blame will fall on the coaching staff and the players who have not lived up to the weight of the jersey. At the end of the day, if Milan fail to secure a top four finish, this second half collapse will be the defining reason. The pressure is now squarely on the shoulders of the management to arrest this decline before the season ends. Back here in Nigeria, at viewing centres from Surulere to Festac, the reaction among the Rossoneri faithful has been one of exasperated sighs and head shakes. As the final whistle blows on another disappointing draw, a man in a Milan kit, clutching a bottle of Maltina, is heard lamenting how the team has lost its spirit. Another fan, wearing a cap with the Nigerian flag, argues that the club needs to bring in a Super Eagles talisman like Victor Osimhen to bring back the firepower, a sentiment that draws many nodding heads in the dimly lit room. The air is thick with the smell of suya and the collective disappointment of a fanbase that expects more from a club of this stature.
