‘We share the disappointment of the fans’ – Furlani speaks after ‘failed season’ confirmed | OneFootball

Giorgio Furlani has spoken after the defeat to Bologna in the Coppa Italia final, and he has admitted that AC Milan have failed this season.

With the pressure riding on this game, there was always a fear that Milan were potentially digging their own hole – something which they have done throughout the season. On a game by game basis, we have become accustomed to the side leaving it late, and this reflected tonight, through the season generally.

Like they have in so many games, the Rossoneri left it late. Over the course of the season, it was the third game from the finish line which could have saved the year.

It is a season without anything to scream about, and rather than entering the summer with hope, there is now an overwhelming sense of dread settling in. After the game, Furlani faced the fans, via the microphones of SportMediaset, and his words have been relayed by Milan News.

“First of all, let me congratulate Bologna on this historic achievement. Then I want to say three things.

“We can’t deny it, this is a failed season.

“Despite the victory in the Super Cup, we are far from the goals we had set ourselves. We still have two games, let’s try to finish in the best way possible. Even if we are far from the goals we had set ourselves at the beginning of the year.

“Thirdly, we share the disappointment of the fans. Various mistakes have been made and we will have to look ahead and correct them to get back to where we, the managers and the fans, expect to be.”

Is now the time for strong decisions?

“At this moment, a big disappointment for this match, for a trophy that we could have won. I don’t feel like answering right now. There are still 12 days and two matches, we will make decisions and then we will see.”

Have you had contact with Cardinale? How is the Milan project going?

“There hasn’t been anyone contacted in the last two hours but I’m sure he thinks the same as me, both for today and for the whole season. We all know the Milan project, we all know the answer to the question.”

Can the market now touch all players?

“It’s half past midnight after a bad defeat, I won’t answer you now.”
