Italian Spat

The article wrote that the owner of AC Milan FC, Silvio Berlusconi was unhappy about the club’s new signing during the winter transfer window.

Silvio Berlusconi who is also the Prime Minister of Italy slammed his own club chief executive for signing Mancini form local rivals, Inter Milan.

He claim that Mancini is a great player, however he had not played for several months and suffered in a dip of form. This raised doubts over the public the fact that Mr. Berlusconi rarely criticize publicly on his club’s new signing.

Whereas Mancini was really hoping to resurrect his career at AC Milan following the dismaying performance at Inter Milan in his 18 months spell. He has been out favored by Jose Mourinho. He has been reported by playing ineffectively in the 4-3-3 formation. This causes his manager, the former Chelsea boss to dropped him for most of the club’s match.

Due to his in ability to hold down a regular position at either flank of 4-3-3 formation, he was relegated to the bench for a long period of time. Till now, the season has gone halfway, but he only featured a pathetic number of 7 times which totaled up less than 4 hours of playing time.

However he blamed Jose Mourinho for not giving him adequate chance to adapt the new attacking format of 4-3-3 which emphasis on the surging in from both flanks. It’s great to hear that he would turn over a new leaf at AC Milan and resurrect his career. He would love to regain his dominance in the midfield back to the old days at AS Roma.
