AC Milan
vice-president Adriano Galliani has pointed the finger at the
Rossoneri’s fixture list to explain their poor start to the season.
Needing to rebound after successive losses to Genoa and Napoli, the Diavolo failed to get back to winning ways as they were held 1-1 draw by Torino on Saturday.
According to the 71-year-old, the reasons for Milan’s disappointing run of form lie with their less than clement calendar, which has given them many tricky away matches.
“We had a difficult start, which was made even more complicated by the fact we met big teams,” Galliani explained.
“Not only that but we also played a number of those games on the road.”
Despite finding excuses for the team’s poor form, Galliani did stress that they must meet standards on par with their important summer investments, as well as insisted that coach Sinisa Mihajlovic’s job is safe.
“We expect more [from the players],” the Rossoneri vice-president admitted. “We made big investments and we believe we have a good team.
“The outcome of the Torino clash was never supposed to be a decisive match for the [future of the] coach.
“Every game is important and there is no use in over-dramatising the situation. It is still very early into the season.”
The draw with Torino has left the Milan giants 11th in Serie A and with just 10 points from their opening eight matches.
