The greats of AC Milan

Who doesn't know about AC Milan Football Club? The famous and most prominent today is the Goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnaruma. This AC Milan club has been established since December 16, 1899, in Italy and based in Milan, Lombardy. As long as you know, when AC Milan was formed, it was not a football club. A cricket club was formed which was named Milan Cricket and Football Club because its founder was a British citizen, Herbert Kilpin and a British businessman, Alfred Edwards. AC itself stands for Associazione Calcio, while the frills of Milan behind it are just a club name that comes from the two men of the founder. Milan's name itself has been maintained until now, and there had been a discourse to be changed to 'Milano' because it adjusted the Italian dale's

The colors of AC Milan are red and black which are always synonymous with this club. Red stifles the spirit of players and black understands the difficulties of their opponents. The club did not run smoothly, the 1908 compilation of AC Milan managed to split. Several agreements are not suitable for some participants.

In the 1950s was the period when the club was successful in domestic competition, namely in 1951, 1955, 1957 and 1962. At that time, AC Milan began to show its superiority in 1963 in matches at the European level by beating Benfica in the Champions Cup final. After that, AC Milan also took various significant titles on the blue Continent in the era of the 1970s. However, in the 1980s, the club suffered a dark period of being involved in the Totonero scandal and was sentenced to relegation to Seria A B for the first time in its history. Then, AC Milan experienced great success in the 1990s and 2000s with the Champion champion's (5 times) and the Scudetto (as the Italian League Champion) with the Dutch Trio (Ruud Gullit, Marco Van Basten, Frank Rijkaard) which made them dominate Europe even the world.

AC Milan has its club stadium. The name is San Siro Stadium, located in the center of Milan in the San Siro district. Initially, AC Milan used the San Siro Stadium only for his club. Legally and formally, the property belongs to the AC Milan Club. In 1947, the AC Milan stadium was rented by Inter Milan, so since then Inter and AC Milan have used the San Siro Stadium together. Milanisti (According to SBOBET Sports Bookmaker Bolanet.Top a leading of premium sports betting in Indonesia, Milan has a fanatic fans in Indonesia called Milanisti.), AC Milan supporters occupy the south side of the stadium.

They even named the San Siro Stadium as Brigate Rossonero, which means red Black Supporter. The real intention is the Red Devil Supporter. The San Siro Stadium has a capacity of 80,018 spectators with 18 VVIP seats which are usually used by AC Milan President's and local officials or Italian officials when Italy plays.

However, two Milan clubs have agreed to build a new stadium together. That means the new stadium will replace the San Siro Stadium. The construction of the stadium itself will cost around 600 million euros, and the new stadium will be built near the San Siro Stadium. Estimated completion of the structure and use of the new stadium will be carried out in the season of 2023-2024.

The AC Milan club itself is inseparable from the names of the great legendary players who have raised their club. Call it Gunnar Nordhal, Paolo Maldini, Franco Baresi, Marco Van Basten, Kaka, George Weah, Andrea Pirlo, Ruud Gullit, Andriy Shevchenko.
