The pressure is mounting at AC Milan, and the club is taking drastic measures to salvage their season. According to multiple reports, the entire Rossoneri squad will be locked in a training retreat starting Wednesday, as they prepare for a crucial away match against Genoa on Sunday.
This decision comes after a disappointing 3-2 home defeat to Atalanta, which saw Milan slide from second to fourth place in the Serie A standings. Now level on points with Roma, the team is at serious risk of throwing away Champions League qualification. With just seven points collected from their last eight matches, the alarm bells are ringing loud and clear at the San Siro.
Director of sport Igli Tare hinted at the possibility of a retreat following the Atalanta loss, suggesting the club needed to take action to refocus the squad. Now, that hint has become a reality. During these camps, players are required to stay at the training ground's lodgings, meaning no trips home or time with family. While sometimes used as a punishment for poor performances, the official purpose is to foster unity and complete focus on the task at hand.
The timing is critical. Milan's visit to Genoa has been confirmed for 11:30 AM UK time on Sunday, and with everything on the line, the club is leaving no stone unturned. For fans and players alike, this is a make-or-break moment—and the retreat is a clear signal that the team is ready to fight for their Champions League future.
