Alessandro Costacurta answered questions about Milan's future, wondering if the team can win the scudetto. According to the former defender, the club is not yet ready for victory, but is showing potential for growth. “I don't see a championship team yet,” he said, “but I think there are a couple ahead.” His comment focuses above all on the attitude of the players, who follow the coach with particular dedication. “I like the attitude they have,” he added, underlining that the team shows a constant forward run, both when recovering the ball and when they don't have it.
The strong point, for Costacurta, is the offensive mentality. “It's a team that makes it seem like the diktat is exactly that: go, with or without the ball,” he explained, citing Bartesaghi's latest performance, which left the former defender enthusiastic. “Bartesaghi was wonderful today,” he said, highlighting his ability to contribute both defensively and offensively.
Former goalkeeper Luca Marchegiani expressed a more critical opinion on Milan's performance. “Maybe on the day when Milan responded better to the emergency, it seemed a little short in some areas of the pitch,” he observed. Marchegiani pointed out the need for changes in some areas, especially in defence. “Camarda is not at the same level as Gonçalo Ramos,” he said, distinguishing between the evaluation of a young player and the need to put him on the same level as a more experienced player.
Both former players highlighted that Milan still has room for improvement. Costacurta recognized the team's promise, but reiterated that it is not yet ready for the championship race. Marchegiani, however, highlighted the defensive weaknesses and the need to strengthen the department.
In summary, while Milan displays an attacking approach and a positive team mentality, the former defenders point out that the club still needs to fill some gaps before it can compete for the title. The club's future will depend on the ability to consolidate the defense and maintain the offensive energy it has already shown in some matches. The next step will therefore be to work on these critical areas to transform the promise into a winning reality.
