AC Milan hit crisis point as Stefano Pioli's fire goes out (The Athletic)

The reigning Serie A champions look a pale imitation of their former selves and things could get worse before they get better.

[Sven Botman](https://theathletic.com/football/player/sven-botman-oC2Uvw0vxDoql7Y3/), a player they didn’t need in light of Kalulu’s emergence, not to mention the [PSG](https://theathletic.com/football/team/paris-saint-germain/)-bound Renato Sanches. [Lucas Paqueta](https://theathletic.com/football/player/lucas-paqueta-z9Bs36TX67TX0Cxh/)’s contract. Divock Origi arrived injured, Sergino Dest was a haphazard reaction to Alessandro Florenzi’s injury and the Aster Vranckx and Thiaw signings only came when Milan were paid the sell-on clause in Milan lost the month of June and wasted time on But Pioli turned it around and Milan’s trajectory has been onwards and upwards, the credit in the bank and goodwill undeniable, a place in posterity as assured as the Scudetto tattooed on his forearm. This was once true of Tonali and Leao, who only began to fulfil their potential after a year learning the ropes under San Siro’s red girders. [Serie A](https://theathletic.com/football/serie-a/) a decade ago, an achievement that frankly still beggars belief, a molecule in the helix of their football DNA seems predisposed to causing teams from Milan extremes of joy and pain. [Simon Kjaer](https://theathletic.com/football/player/simon-kjaer-FZYfPLs5GLmLwGzn/) joined the club, raising standards and taking the pressure off a group of kids with talent still yet to be fulfilled, had an exponential effect that endured. Hope in a reversal of fortune remains and perhaps it has already started with Pioli admitting: “The things that worked up until a few weeks ago are not working, so it’s clear there will be some changes. Off the pitch, the Portuguese is debating whether to commit to a new contract; on it, he has never been the most diligent at tracking back at the best of times. The training sessions since, Pioli said, “Were the best in recent times for concentration and application.” He did not see a 5-2 defeat coming. But there were some whistles, an atmosphere of disquiet exacerbated by Calabria’s team-mates scuffling with Sassuolo players as they descended the steps to the dressing room, making the long introspective walk down the tunnel with five goals and a historic defeat on their conscience.
