Milan fans stage protest after dreadful few weeks | OneFootball

Milan fans unveiled a protest banner criticising the squad and club ahead of tonight’s game with Lazio, where they will be on strike for the first 15 minutes.

It kicks off at San Siro at 19.45 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s Serie A games in the Liveblog.

The pressure is piling up on the Rossoneri after Champions League elimination in the play-offs at the hands of Feyenoord, then two consecutive Serie A defeats to Torino and Bologna.

Their performance in that rescheduled Week 9 fixture on Thursday at the Stadio Dall’Ara infuriated the ultras, who decided to take action.

They announced that their section in the Curva Sud will be left empty for the first 15 minutes of the match and their place was taken by a single banner.

It was the same that was on show in Bologna midweek: ‘Only for the shirt.’

This means the fans are there purely to cheer on the Milan badge, not caring who the players, coach or directors are.

The disappointment has spread throughout the fanbase, because ticket sales for tonight’s game are extremely sluggish.
