After 10 rounds of league matches, AC Milan won 7 and drew 3, and the last four rounds have won four consecutive games, ranking first in the standings. However, this result did not prevent the team from facing criticism from both the inside and outside.

With the 6-5 narrow win over Napoli as a breakthrough in the clumsiness of the backline, AC Milan vice-president Galliani questioned coach Carlo Ancelotti to explain why he has not performed well despite the strong reinforcements at the back this season.

Galliani also recalled the past, pointing out that AC Milan had a brilliant performance in attack in the first two seasons, and last season it was the highest goal in Europe, but because the back line cannot be the cornerstone of the team, it has repeatedly made the team lose good times at critical moments, otherwise AC Milan should have had better results in the league.

Galliani is not nitpicking, because what he says is true. Milan's squad is seriously aging, especially in the back line, and the situation has been alleviated after the three consecutive summers of Boshen, Odo, Abiy, Zango, Pompong, Senderos, Antonini and others. This summer, after the retirement of elderly grandfathers such as Cafu and Shuttle, the back line is full of youth.

It's just that the retirement of several leading figures in the back, Jǐng stick Costa Kuta and Prime Minister Cafu, Maldini is getting older, and Nesta is used to injuries at the beginning of the season, which makes the inheritance of the Milan defense not so smooth. But in any case, although the goals conceded are indeed a little more, compared to the god-level combination of the former rì hegemonic era, it is not to the point of asking the guilt, especially when the team is in a good situation.

All this stems from the counterattack of the eldest prince Pierre Berlusconi and Galliani against Barbara.

Since last season, after AC Milan suddenly had a succession problem, the club's top management engaged in a battle with the acquiescence and connivance of owner Silvio Berlusconi, and Pierre and Barbara officially stepped into the forefront. Maldini postponed his retirement in order to support Barbara, and he was a figure like Milanelo in the sea.

After unifying their opinions within the Roundtable, the team led the Roundtable to cheer for Barbara. Of course, Barbara will also repay the favor for Paul. She promised that after taking charge of AC Milan in the future, Baresi will enter the core decision-making team of Milan's youth academy in Vismara, while Maldini himself will start his new job at Milanello as the deputy of director Braida after his retirement, and will also become AC Milan's new sporting director after the retirement of the club.

More importantly, Barbara favored a broader and more central role for the Knights of the Round Table in Milanello. In other words, Barbara wants to see the Knights of the Round Table become public, official, and become a functional department within the club dominated by these senior players.

The horse team received this promise from Barbara, just like Song Jiang felt when he received the imperial court's recruitment.

Outside of the round table, Zhuo Yang led the international players with the Brazilian gang as the core to also watch Barbara's opponent. Barbara has the support of all the players on the team, all the media behind these players, and all the heavyweight fan groups.

AC Milan, who have been known for their unity for many years, have never been more united in this matter than this year, with Maldini and Zoyang at the heart of the team's unity and the bannermen. The sincere cooperation between the two people, who have a good personal relationship between the old and the young, quickly made Barbara crush her half-brother Pierre in terms of prestige, and Prime Minister Pei was already partial to the old girl in his selfish heart, so Barbara quickly surfaced in Milano and participated in the core management of the club since the summer.

At the top, Barbara's and supportive sporting director Braida had a sharp increase in her voice, with Pierre and vice-president Galliani being silenced. The transfer work in the summer was basically dominated by Barbara and Braida, so Ronaldinho finally joined smoothly, and there was a change in the back line, and Pompon David Luiz bypassed Leonardo, who had a heavy role in the transfer of Brazilian players, and successfully airborne Milanlo.

Leonardo is Galliani's man, and he is behind every Brazilian player at AC Milan. Last year, Raiola wanted to run Pompon to AC Milan, but he was somewhat afraid of the power of Leonardo and the South American brokerage godfather behind him, Figer, so he reluctantly gave up.

But now that Raiola and Figer are working more closely together, and Leonardo is in Milano because of his declining status, there is no need to pay so much attention. Doing anything is too forward-looking and backward, and it can't be a big thing.

But Pierre and Galliani were naturally unwilling to cede power to their opponents, especially Pierre. With his affection for Prime Minister Pei, he will have a place in Milan, but once his father has completely decided on the heir, he will inevitably clear Barbara's obstacles from the family. Then, Pierre will become the boy who used to eat and wait for death to do nothing, and he will still be an old man.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the governor Zhou Yu said to Sun Quan: We can all surrender to Cao, but you can't.

This attack was Pierre and Galliani attacking the team under the pretext of defensive problems, ostensibly accusing Ancelotti of tactics and personnel, but in fact, the drunkards did not mean to drink, and their target was directly aimed at Maldini.

They used the pressure of 'conceding too many goals at the back' to force the team's backline to speed up the renewal, that is, to force Maldini to retire. Only by getting rid of Maldini, the leader with great prestige in the team, driving him out of Milanlo, and making him no longer qualified to have a voice internally, can Pierre have the possibility of turning the tables.

And it is indeed a sad fact that Maldini's competitive standards have fallen seriously this season, swallowing up the mission of the core of the team's defence. All of this made the sand of Pierre and Galliani a target, and although Maldini did not play in the game against Napoli, it did not stop them from putting the team on the cusp.

Naturally, Pierre and Galiani are not alone, and they also have a huge media presence behind them. Under the quarrel and clamor of public opinion, Maldini, who has attached great importance to his reputation all his life, did not hide, he admitted very calmly that his presence hindered the upgrading of the team's backline, and immediately made the decision to retire at the end of the season.

This time, the horses were serious and for the first time made their retirement timetable public in the media. This kind of thing, Maldini will not slap himself in the face.

Therefore, a big score game that basically had nothing to do with Maldini turned out to be a quasi-blow to Pierre and Galliani, and they eventually succeeded, and Barbara will lose the biggest help among the players next season, and it is not certain who will die.

However, these are not the main events of Milan's internal turmoil, and many of them are not known to the outside world. The infighting and clash between Zhuo Yang and Gattuso on the field is the crazy chase that makes the media excited.
