Managing AC Milan: Challenges and Strategies

I became the manager of AC Milan but in just our first season we got relegated well no it's not because I was a terrible manager we were actually close to winning the league we got relegated because the board decided to do some financial fraud and UEFA basically bagged us the good thing is we managed to get ourselves promoted right back up but yes we've had to endure a lot of collateral damage some of our best players like Rafael Le Nico Williams He Hernandez Mike mcah the list goes on they've all left even I had an for a jump ship and join Juventus but I'm loyal to AC Milan there was no way I was accepting that I'm not going to stop until we can get AC Milan the sco as well as the Champions League there's tears in my eyes boys as we're finally back in the area I have really missed this now disrespect but playing teams like breia citadela KO that wasn't fun but we somehow got through it and we're back in the first Division and honestly as crazy as it sounds I want to do alester City straight from promotion I want to end up WI winning the scudetto and genuinely I think we can do this the team is there of course it's not as insane as what we had in the first season but we do have talents like okaf for Danielle Maldini who's been a revelation L's cheek has been Mr reliable we've got a couple of Wingers Romero and NSA with a lot of talent strong backline if we can make a couple of sensible signings I think we can put up a fight of course we're going to need some money and there you go 114 million this season I was kind of expecting more cuz with AC me and I know the club have money after all the crazy player sales we've had to do but I guess because we're not in European football that's all the board can give us and to be fair it's enough for us to make a couple of really smart signings and by the way we better start making those signings soon cuz our season starts with Juventus and then inter what a welcome back to the Ser we're getting and by the way guys if you haven't noticed we're back in the OG s2g setup that's right I'm visiting my family for the next few weeks so yeah we're we're enjoying the setup tell you what this setup just makes me emotional it it was so good hopefully the emotions can help us win the scudetto this season and by the way if you think we can do that subscribe to the Channel all right now boys how do we deploy this 114 million I've got a bit of a plan after reading through your comments kind of seems like you guys think we need a new CDM someone to hold that Midfield and I agree we also do need a new left back cuz it's good as he mean as is okay no he's not that good not C our level not Theo Hernandez level and yeah we're not signing theand he would literally wipe out our entire budget but we can sign another Italian in Fabiano Parisi 24y old left back decent bit of pace the dribblings there if I can get a decent deal on this why not gu still think CDM is kind of the priority position so I don't want to be spending too much cash in Parisi but we need him at the club so let's see how much is this going to cost if I say 38 million would they be willing to negotiate looks like yes but they've counted with 5 for are you joking wait no I accidentally accepted it am I an idiot no we're not going to be paying 54 million for him what an idiot bro this is this is literally the most stupid deal I think we could have ever done okay how do I get out of this negotiation man um should we just offer Parisi Prospect uh he he wants crucial but let's just end the negotiation this way and get back to it next week okay guys apologies for that we just had a bit of an oopsie and because of that we've now given clubs like Monaco a chance to sign him that is not good okay this time I'm going to start with 40 million and hopefully we can meet somewhere in the middle and get this deal done they've counted with 54 but I'm not stupid we're going to bring this down to 42 I'm going to negotiate like a stingy man cuz we've got other signings to make and there you go it's a good thing I decided to wait another week we've got a steel deal on this and with that we've got Fabiano paresi joining the club don't get me wrong guys I think himz is still going to play a part of the club cuz I was really impressed with his plays last season but if we want to aim for winning the seral we need that added quality talking about quality there is another Italian I want to try and sign a CDM someone who has played for AC Milan before and that's Sandro tonali kind of fits the team of this series with us getting relegated for fraud he kind of got banned for I think betting so yeah I see a lot in line what do you mean by that and if we can lure him in from Newcastle bringing him back to AC Milan I think it would be tremendous oh but his valuation he's going to pretty much wipe out a remaining budget but I genuinely think the quality he brings it'll be worth it okay we've got 69 million so we've got money to work with here if we put in a 50 million offer I reckon they're going to counter with something like 58 59 oh there you go even better I think we can get a deal on this they're looking to offload uh Sandro tanali we can take advantage of this and get this done for 52 there you go Sandro tanali welcome back to AC Milan and just like that it's time to kickart our c campaign against UV and this hurts boys this really hurts look at who's in goal for them Mike McAn he betrayed us he could have gone to any other club maybe a premier league or La Liga Club but he chose Juventus but come on guys we've made sensible improvements to the team I think we're ready for this okay wait why is Yasin adly playing no I'm an idiot I'm an actual idiot I forgot to put Tali in The First Tee bro I can't believe I've made such an amateure mistake anyways boys it is what it is let's just focus and try on getting a result if you guys remember last season we went pretty far in the cup Balia so the experience is still there of playing against the big boys I'm hoping it counts Maldini is taking one from distance going for it m none with the big shave off the che could pop one from distance I can't believe it we're back in the Cal with the bang the most underrated player of the series Reuben lofter CH all my days that might be one of the best goals we've scored in this series and I can't believe it's come from lofter cheek outside the box against U take that mnan for betraying us now we're still not in the best of positions it's Gabby playing for UV moving it around well but ver in good save oh we've just been opened up here foli good goal oh it looks like we're getting opened up again and there you go it's a welcome back to us in the S I guess going from playing cere football week in and week out to now suddenly playing s football there's a difference and right now we're feeling it oh look at the open spaces we're leaving vlahovic is thre on his weaker right foot ends this game well that's the set off for us when lofter cheeks scored that first goal I really thought we had a chance but the S they are thinking about winning it this season might be something completely impossible one thing though I'm not forgetting is putting tonar in the first team maybe we missed the control he would provide and he's definitely going to help us against inter there he is on the ball back at an AC mean shirt and boy does it feel good already playing some nice passes your noose has broken through if we can get the lead early on against inter it could be massive NOA looking for the cut back maldi with the JNS and he slots it home you can always rely on a Malini to save AC Milan okay guys but calm down last time around against uve we took the lead what happened we ended up losing there's still a lot of football to be played but it's Relentless attacking play from inter and again it's brilliant defending but not for long as verer has to be called out as well I always say this boy set pieces are so vital with AC Milan we've been good with them and L to CH again getting close oh that's a bad one from Baston oh and he's getting sent off let's go that's exactly what we need okay who's the best free kick taker at the club right now I think it's Danielle Maldini bro if he ends up scoring this it would be genuinely a bit insane but I'm not sure if he can get it up and over he can't but honestly we've got no excuses man we need to win this game bro we're playing against the 10 men team we can't concede please I don't know why whenever we start playing with a man up we just play like idiots we genuinely need that second goal like desperately otherwise we're going to end up losing this game cuz look at this D has suddenly become messy I can't believe this is happening get the ball away please a there you go and honestly with the man advantage on the counter we could do something Oka for come on show me your pace he's running with everything he's got can he finish though I can't believe he couldn't finish it finale heads it down we're putting on the pressure Mal did he shoots oh how's he managed to get that one in he had Ceno backlift there Danielle Malini has done it again and thankfully that's enough to get us the win what a relief I don't know if we can actually take any learnings from that game because inter's red card just skewed things we're still going to have to wait a bit to find out just how good our AC Milan team is one thing's for sure they not going to be any more improvements to this team we're getting done with the transfer window we still have 22 million left but we'll keep that for January in case we need some surprise improvements for now this is our team and I'm hoping it's good enough to win the scudetto I think for now the goal has got to be to just try and push towards the top four as soon as possible then we can start dreaming of trying to take the top spot and come on games like against Monza should be guaranteed wins and let's see if this team is good enough to get the job done and it is ah but this is the problem we're not consistent enough we need to kind of just wake up from that CB phase where life was so easy we were basically unbeaten but over here after four games we find ourselves in 13th spot let's try and just win our next couple of games games and try and build from there we are playing cremonesi a team that we should 100% beat and already aaar has made a nice run I'm going to wait to get it to Malini but he couldn't shoot what here I was dreaming about winning our next couple of games we can't even beat croni okay guys let's chill out we've still got a lot of time I want to win this game all right go on NOA that's a brilliant run and there you go back in it we can't make the mistake of conceding another one and that's exactly what we do new suff it's like the only one who's trying to do something although he finds off the four should be a goal and it is but I'm tired of playing catch up boys we need to score the next goal and try and win this Alini looking for Reuben lck his cheek he took his time but he gets the goal and that's what matters wait what how is that a penalty n he won the ball bro I swear we've got literally the worst luck and there you go the pen goes in as well a game against cremones is turning out to being a Ser classic why are we so bad Alini has broken through and he Skies it that was a sitter oh this could be the chance we've been waiting for I can't believe we've not scored oh we've given this guy too much space and he's actually slaughtered at home what is this collapse we're enduring with Milan I have no words man I have genuinely got no words on how we lost this game at this way there's a real chance we could end up in the bottom three and go right back down this time on Merit to the set B we're already like seven points off the top of the league in just five Gam games it's it's horrendous I'm trying to think what could be the cause of all of this maybe it's something to do with the setup but I think we've got the team in a great formation normally it works I just don't know what's not working you know what guys maybe in this area we need to be more proactive more pressing and so we're going to go to the Gin press tactical Vision maybe that's what this team needs right now though I'm clutching at straws I don't know what's working and we've just got a fight through and fine form okao has found a bit of space and he gets us the goal but we can't get comple we need to get the next one too luuka Romero heavy touch but I think it should get him in a great spot to maybe finesse this one in and that's exactly what he's done oh boy do we need this win to just bring about some form and okay we're on to something yo we've picked up backto back wins now yo we've actually climbed up to eth in the C are and we're playing Roma up next in third bro this could be the game that could change the trajectory of our entire season cuz we beat them we'll be starting to push upwards into the top six and I know it's only early days but that'll be hug huge for confidence as far as must win games go I think this is one of them okafo has gone through and let's go okafo is hitting some great form right in time for us oh putting in strong challenges as well this looks like one of the best starts we've made to especially a top level game Luca Romero is now on the charge too could help us do something here finding space goes for the cross oh we tried to do something Sandra tanali can strike a ball and that was a good one aldini waiting for the right time to release that part and that looked like the right time but okao couldn't get there okafo could get the big goal and that's what we needed 80th minute it should be enough to get the win against Roma and let's go boys it indeed is where would we be without aaos seven goals in eight games in the S is he on likee a development plan to grow cuz I want him to get as high as possible with his overall okay if we put him on mobile strike it should be up by at least the rating in 9 weeks but yeah he's been tremendous and I told you guys that game against Roma was the Catalyst cuz we've made a pretty good comeback up to fifth in the area oh by the way we've got a game in hand over a lot of the teams so do Napoli they have the same amount of points as us this explains it our next game is against them if you guys remember in our first season when we were about to win the scudetto it was Napoli who were in second but of course because of the 70 points deduction you know who ended up lifting the title it was it was the team from Naples so I'm still a bit bitter about that and getting a win over them would feel special saying that Napoli are going to be a real tough fight but defensively we look to be in the mood from the last few games but that could easily change but there you go the tackles are coming in nicely LCA Romero looking nice finding space ah he misplaced that pass one thing I'll say though this season it's starting to feel we are lacking a bit of fire power down the wings as good as Luca Romero and ns are I would love some more options cuz I mean look at the competition we're dealing with Crea finds aiman and that's what a player like aiman can produce we're lacking that kind of quality in our attack aar's got a chance to get us The Equalizer and he just that it's game on against Napo new say trying to prove me wrong by saying that he is quality but it's not easy against quality defenses to go through like that Napoli again have just gone through and there was nothing we could do about it NSA he's just getting bullied man we need a better Winger otherwise I don't think we've got what it takes to win the S this is the worst possible situation for us to be in how do we defend against aiman man we can't it's over Napoli are getting a huge win over us and that means we've dropped down to sixth in the league we're not far away from all the action boys only three points off the top but I think we're lacking that extra bit of quality that Winger that can take this team to the next level ah but with 22 million it's it's going to be so tough who can we even sign with that you know what I know this board has got a ton of money from all the big player sales there's no restrictions on making transfers what if the board give us some money in January if they want to win the league I think this is what they need to do so I'm sending over a request to the AC Milan board to give us some more money and we'll see if they Grant it cuz yeah it's it's a desperate situation I need more money to rebuild this Milan team it's all in the hands of the board
