Can the Rossoneri move further up the log?
16.3 || webmaster
AC Milan is not where they are supposed to be at this time of the season on the Serie A log table. Many pundits were quick to shove the blame to the manager Siniša Mihajlovic. Well, that is usually the norm in football but considering that the Serbian mentor has had to deal with the misfiring forwards, one can say their current position is not bad.
Mihajlović has had to rely mostly on Carlo Bacca upfront. The return of Prince Boateng has eased the pressure and the fans are now hopeful that the top 3 finish is possible since Juve’ seem to have taken the crown already.
The Ghanaian international Boateng had initially left San Siro but has been allowed to re-join again in the January window after he left in 2013. The Milan-born forward had been training with the Rossoneri since September after a spectacular falling out with his former employers Schalke.
Around that same time, AC Milan was a bit toothless up front with notable forwards like Balotelli misfiring. The Sports betting websites like Casino Australia were hoping that things would change for the better since AC Milan is a big team to be lurking on the lower half of the table. Luckily for the fans, Mihajlović-led side seems to be on the up again.
