Milan fans harassed me (very, very nicely) to cover their team all season. But I would rather live with the constant "do a video on Milan" than get accused of jinxing them if things had gone wrong.😂 That's what took me so long. Congrats guys!

As a Rossonero my entire life, when they announced they possibility of signing Rangnick, I was immediately opposed to it. I liked the path Pioli was paving and always criticized the often changing of coaches which inevitably took a toll on the team's performance. In the situation AC Milan was, you can't expect immediate results. Instead, managers and ideas need time to cement and take shape, which is exactly what happened with Pioli. Likewise, Massara, Maldini and Gazidis have done a superb job signing unknown talent with incredible potential. Just look at how Tonali, Theo, Leao, Tomori, Maignan and Kalulu turned out. And finally... the signing of Ibra was potentially one of the largest contributors to our Serie A. Even at his 40 years of age, he still scores goals, provide assists but more importantly, serves as a major voice and leader in the locker room. So much so that players look up to him and work 3 times as hard because he demands it. He has a winning mentality and convinced the team that they could win when the target was to finish 4th. This is a masterclass on how to run a team in a budget restricted environment and complimenti to Pioli for sticking to his strategy and being brave to change it when needed, Maldini & Massara for having the vision to sign the right players without regards of name, and the team for leaving everything they had on the field.
I can honestly say I didn’t want Pioli and did want Rangnick, but what I really wanted was consistency which I really hope that’s what we get for a good while.
And now, there is no regret to keep pioli and cancel rangnick contract. Unlike Pioli who have big limitation in player choice in his side but never criticised and demand new star player to the management but sucsessfully win the title, we saw rangnick fail in MU with well decorated players (ronaldo, pogba, de gea, varane, rashford, and of course the most expensive Harry Maguire), he also criticised the player in post match interview, could not maximize their talent, and could not fit tactics to bring the best from the player. Milan management doing the great job.
I was probably one in a million who was super pumped when we appointed Pioli. I observed his teams when he was coach of Inter and mostly in Fiorentina. He took teams that were in mess and made them whole. Especially Viola after Astori passed. I understood that he would be perfect for Milan because we needed healing and most of all we needed someone who helped the young boys. Milan didn't need tactics with this very, very young team. This is why Giampaolo failed miserably. Pioli is a man manager first and only then a tactician. Where he would probably fail in teams where veterans are mostly dominant, he excelled in Milan where average age was 21 and that is with 40 y/o Ibra in the squad. I remember his approach during COVID break. He would call each player individually and get to know everyone, become a friend first, show interest in them not only from footballing perspective, listen to what they think is their strengths and where they think they should play on the field to get most of their skills. This is very rare in nowadays. Pioli really is on fire!

I'm proud of and so happy for Zlatan. whats sad is I thought Ronaldo would be this guy at ManU but it felt like many of the players were scared or intimidated by him instead.
Hey Adrian, thank you very much for this video. I've been a Milan supporter since I was like 7 years old. Sadly I only got a few good years before the banter era started and me seeing the club I loved you much get worse and worse every year slowing losing it's identity actually broke me as a football fan. Now seeing the revival I've never been that happy. Seeing AC Milan Videos on UA-cam that don't revolve around it being a "former giant" and how it all started but actually some good things about my club make me very very happy. Have a nice day!
I became a fan in 2006, and got about 5-6 years before things started to go down the tube. I still remember when Ibra and Thiago were sold to PSG. Let's just say I was not a fan of Berlusconi at that moment.
A bit AC Milan related, with both Berlusconi and Galliani at the helm, AC Monza are one match away from reaching Serie A for the first time ever. They purchased the club in 2018, when it was playing on Serie C.
Tomori and Kalulu were such a match made in heaven. But to be honest, I'm feeling sorry for Alessio Romagnoli. He's our captain, but he barely starts. He used to be one of the brightest Italian defender - some of you might remember that he and Virgil van Dijk was never dribbled past by their opponents until the 2018/19 season almost ends. Seems like Alessio was sacrificed by Pioli because he wants to play a high-line defense and Alessio's lack of pace will (and had) exposed him. I can totally understand if he leaves this summer - he already took one for the team and I respect him a lot for that. Alessio uno di noi!
Which is why his send off will likely be a way better one, compared to 'the other guy who happens to be a goalkeeper'. He even admitted he's a Laziale, he is under the same agent - the late Mino Raiola, yet he doesn't create many dramas, unlike the other guy. When he plays, he gave his best - and some clutch goals as well - although he hit his limitation lately. And when he was sidelined, he doesn't complain. I find his mannerism will be much appreciated by milanisti all over the world, unlike the other guy. I understand that he wants more playing time and would rather leave on bosman, but he carries his way with more class, unlike the other guy.
A video about inter and inzaghi would be a good idea too. Its impressive how they still managed to fight for the title after selling their best 2 players and Conte leaving. They did some really clever recruitments including the manager. It feels good to see 2 Milano giants back at the top.
You should have added Geoff Moncada, who has been excellent in scouting. He was the analyst/scout for the famous 2016 Monaco side btw. Maldini's influence shone through in convincing these players with high potential to play for the cause and give it everything. But, Moncada has done an exceptional job, which should be praised. Talking about Pioli, when he joined Milan, he had his assistants go to Bayern and read how Flick's team ticked, started adopting a more European approach by introducing high press. He also understood and used players at their best positions. With regards to players, as others pointed out, Krunic was missed out. He was our Ambrosini in a team of all stars. Did everything he was asked to and at all positions.
it was really hard being a Serie A viewer from 2012-2020 with Juve dismantling their competitors from a large points margin; I'm glad Inter and Milan are bouncing back and competing in CL every season.
Became a Rossonero just after supporting Liverpool perform the Istanbul Miracle. The TV stations in my country kept replaying the final many times every day. I saw a man who would later be my idol for years (Kaka') take his PK and my elder bro passing a sweet comment (This guy is sooooo good). It stuck in my head and he automatically became my idol with his name on my football wears to school and field at home. The only time I've felt the way I felt after the scudetto win was the 2007 win over Man U to set up a rematch against Liverpool which we would win to complete our revenge. My love for this team never died even during the mediocre seasons. I would refuse to see their matches out of anger but before I know what's happening I'm sitted seeing same match and jeering forethe team. After the end of last season, I told everyone this "This season's fight for matches before succumbing tells me we own next season", they all laughed hard and I told them "I'll come back and tell ya'll I told you it's ours" which I did and livestreamed it for them all to watch my team lift the trophy and they all smiled and congratulated me. Never been this proud in years... Thanks for this video, Forza Milan, Sempre Milan
In Istanbul, Kaka created an assist which is one of the best through pass in the game...ever. Sadly everytime I recall that pass. I recall the tragic lost.
You don’t know how happy I am Adrian. When you made that Fall From Grace video on us we were finishing 6th place. We’ve made such an improvement from being runners up last year to winning the scudetto this year. Hopefully we can make the round of 16 in the champions league next season or winning the Europa League would be pretty good.
considering third in their group would be the bare minimum, a Europa League deep run would be welcomed (however, with a sour aftertaste), but the game for game mentality is the one working for us right now
After having watched milan struggle all those year the scudetto win this year made it all worth it. Elliott setup this team for even more success in the future and as of today I hope the new owners(redbird) share a similar vision.
I'll be turning 39 this December. Supported Milan since I started watching Football Italia on CH4 in the UK when I was eight or nine years old. It's sickening seeing friends back home or random clowns on Facebook or whatever, denigrating Serie A, because the EPL is 'so much better.' 'Italian football is too slow' they scream. Maybe because the players are coached to not run around the field like headless chickens. 'It's too defensive.' Defence wins you games. It's more difficult to maintain a solid backline than it is to score. 'No big players play in Serie A.' This might be true enough these days, but only because of money. Football, whether we like or not, is a money racket these days. The only reason any player would trade in living in Milan or Rome versus Manchester, is the big fat paycheck. Agents and their grubby paws have ruined the game as well, but that's a tangential argument. I'm hoping for a solid run in the CL this season, and another title to get that second star would be most welcome. I'm just happy to see Milan finally getting their act together, on the field and off. Forza Milan.
as Milan fans, i've never expect we signed Ibrahimovic for his contribution on the pitch, but rather for his mentality on and off the pitch. when Ibra's around, the mentality of the players just different. The mentality what Milan desperately needs, since most of Milan legends retired at the same time back then like Gattuso, Nesta, Inzaghi, Seedorf and others influental players leaving like Thiago Silva. theres no "real" leader since then
Milansti aren't English or German fans. Many will happily admit that Pioli being appointed didn't fill many with much hope. In order for a manager to be successful, a whole club needs to be united. In his first 10 games, he only won 4 and the year finished with the team being humiliated in Bergamo losing 5-0. Around that time, there were disagreements in the background with both Boban and Maldini protecting him, whilst others looking to undermine him and having Ragnick lined up. Things did improve in the new year of 2020, but the undoubted factor for progress was Covid. The first game behind close doors before football was suspended was a woeful home defeat to Genoa. That had come after a disappointing derby loss, draw with Juve, draw at Fiorentina and a slender victory vs Torino. The break between March and June was a godsend. By then Elliott had united behind Maldini and Gazidis, allowed them to run the club even though losing Boban was a huge disappointment. This sense of unity and being able to train the team in tranquilly during lockdown allows Milan to almost start afresh. The club and team that returned when football restarted in June 2020 was almost a totally new one. For a manager to succeed, he needs full support of the team, good players and of course leaders. That's where Ibra's contribution on the training pitch and dressing room also cannot be underestimated.
How can you not give room for credit dedicated to Ibrahimovic. When he came we were having a bad time. Had lost 5-0 to atalanta. Once he came in January everything changed! Ibra was the very fisrt important asset for a mentality change! Do your homework man
@@cheddarcheesepls my man.. he only mentioned Ibra exactly, to "explain" the success of milan now you must give underlined credit to Ibra. For those reasons I said. But just mentioning him as an important buy or whatever the guy says was to me personally not fair enough on zlatan. I follow ac since im a child. I can tell whe the team starts growing balls. And that happened thanks to the first major most important singing. That gave a turn around
This is how you run a football club, im a liverpool fan and it shows that you can win titles by just having smart people running a club and that you dont need oil or billions
I agree with all things describe in this video. As rossoneri fans since childhood, 3 years of process from 2019 until now are not easy and now, regardless the match result, I more enjoy watching the team plays every week. hope Milan can win scudetto again and produce better result on UCL
Ik this is super irrelevant to the topic but today I was playing FIFA online and I said “Yk what fuck it, let me play as AC Milan for a bit” I want Unbeaten for 4 games Won 3 and tied one Leo a hat trick against Liverpool in one game Giroud with a stunning header at the last second and Diaz with a Brace against RM It’s very swell to see a historic club like AC Milan bounce back, im looking forward for their champions league return Also great video Adrian! Keep it up
A lot of football fans, especially Interisti, mocked us when Li was kicked out by Elliott because he wasn't able to repay his debts. Little did they know, that was the best thing that could happen. Here's waiting for Zhang to implode their team soon.
We (ac Milan) spent money randomly which fucked us up. If you want to come back you need to scratch the bottom, and you're not at the bottom if you spend that much.
Im proud to be milanista they did an amazing trasfers spend a minimum money for a high quality young player. Other clubs need to copy these kind of transfers no big nonsense money. Milan proof that having a minimum money still could make a decent signing
I'm a Milan supporter since 94 and the feeling about wining this scudetto was something I didn't feel even when they won the champions league. Il rossonero is back 🔴⚫
So awesome for the sleeping giant AC Milan and i'm a Feyenoord supporter when I was still in the baby crib , i loved the AC Milan team that played 2000's to 2007 , 2008 i remember a game against PSV , Milan was dominate by PSV in both games in the end Milan have 50% chance in that PSV phillips stadium and BOEM goal and BYe , bYe PSV '' and I thank AC Milan for very nice football matches for a nutraal viewer , I am not a Milan fan but AC Milan deserve this championship like no other .
Early July. Bit of chaos at the club. Milan lost out on Sanchez and botman. Origi looking like the big singing for the early transfer season. Leão and bennacer not renewed and maldini and massara renewed after their previous deals ran out. Redbird is red herring.
After a decade of frustration with My beloved club.. i am so happy we finally won the scudetto. Will need at least few more years and good recruitment to compete in Europe again.
From Berlusconi to Singer. Milan sure have a penchant for truly evil owners. I still like the club and team but their ownership pattern is off-putting to say the least.
Buying a club and investing to increase the value, is what Abramovich did with Chelsea, before the UK government stole it, yet his investment was portrayed as gifts by the media.
Milan fans harassed me (very, very nicely) to cover their team all season. But I would rather live with the constant "do a video on Milan" than get accused of jinxing them if things had gone wrong.😂 That's what took me so long. Congrats guys!
this season was a very cautious optimism. We believed and doubted at the same time. Dope video as always mate thanks for delivering

The only time I've felt the way I felt after the scudetto win was the 2007 win over Man U to set up a rematch against Liverpool which we would win to complete our revenge.
My love for this team never died even during the mediocre seasons.
I would refuse to see their matches out of anger but before I know what's happening I'm sitted seeing same match and jeering forethe team.
After the end of last season, I told everyone this "This season's fight for matches before succumbing tells me we own next season",
they all laughed hard and I told them "I'll come back and tell ya'll I told you it's ours" which I did and livestreamed it for them all to watch my team lift the trophy and they all smiled and congratulated me.
Never been this proud in years...
Thanks for this video,
Forza Milan,
Sempre Milan
In Istanbul, Kaka created an assist which is one of the best through pass in the game...ever. Sadly everytime I recall that pass. I recall the tragic lost.
If you take the cost into account, then Kalulu is by far the best recent signing from AC Milan in my opinion.
You don’t know how happy I am Adrian. When you made that Fall From Grace video on us we were finishing 6th place. We’ve made such an improvement from being runners up last year to winning the scudetto this year. Hopefully we can make the round of 16 in the champions league next season or winning the Europa League would be pretty good.
considering third in their group would be the bare minimum, a Europa League deep run would be welcomed (however, with a sour aftertaste), but the game for game mentality is the one working for us right now
I dont know whats really the different apart from his goal contribution but Ibra's arrival turns Milan 180 degree.
Sopra un campo verde e sotto un cielo blu , milan milan sempre con te
“Clearly aging Alessio Romagnoli”
God damn he’s like 27 what happened to him
He is italian Maguire imo
After having watched milan struggle all those year the scudetto win this year made it all worth it. Elliott setup this team for even more success in the future and as of today I hope the new owners(redbird) share a similar vision.
Thank you Adrian from a very Milanista ;-D
I think you a did an excellent recap, for sure better than any italian journalist
I'll be turning 39 this December. Supported Milan since I started watching Football Italia on CH4 in the UK when I was eight or nine years old. It's sickening seeing friends back home or random clowns on Facebook or whatever, denigrating Serie A, because the EPL is 'so much better.' 'Italian football is too slow' they scream. Maybe because the players are coached to not run around the field like headless chickens. 'It's too defensive.' Defence wins you games. It's more difficult to maintain a solid backline than it is to score. 'No big players play in Serie A.' This might be true enough these days, but only because of money. Football, whether we like or not, is a money racket these days. The only reason any player would trade in living in Milan or Rome versus Manchester, is the big fat paycheck. Agents and their grubby paws have ruined the game as well, but that's a tangential argument. I'm hoping for a solid run in the CL this season, and another title to get that second star would be most welcome. I'm just happy to see Milan finally getting their act together, on the field and off. Forza Milan.
as Milan fans, i've never expect we signed Ibrahimovic for his contribution on the pitch, but rather for his mentality on and off the pitch. when Ibra's around, the mentality of the players just different.
The mentality what Milan desperately needs, since most of Milan legends retired at the same time back then like Gattuso, Nesta, Inzaghi, Seedorf and others influental players leaving like Thiago Silva.
theres no "real" leader since then
Beautiful, beautiful video. Just Subscribed. Please, more of this and about Milan! 🔴⚫🔴⚫
AC Milan will have a dramatic performance in the upcoming Champions League #ForzaMilan
we need to pass at least the group stages
@@HasClipz We'll pass through QF
@@HasClipz we are in pot 1 cuz we became champions I think we re gonna pass the group stage
Brilliant video Adrian! Superb narration, and so well researched. Hats off to your efforts, and please keep them coming!!
Cheers dude! 🍻
Your analysis is just perfect 👍🏼
Greetings from Milano ❤️🖤
God bless you, Adrian, for showing my team love
"Bennacer played a role" that's it? It really shows how underrated he is
Hey adrian, I’d love to see a video of you talking about Eintracht Frankfurt and their Europa League miracle ❤️
Milansti aren't English or German fans. Many will happily admit that Pioli being appointed didn't fill many with much hope. In order for a manager to be successful, a whole club needs to be united. In his first 10 games, he only won 4 and the year finished with the team being humiliated in Bergamo losing 5-0. Around that time, there were disagreements in the background with both Boban and Maldini protecting him, whilst others looking to undermine him and having Ragnick lined up. Things did improve in the new year of 2020, but the undoubted factor for progress was Covid. The first game behind close doors before football was suspended was a woeful home defeat to Genoa. That had come after a disappointing derby loss, draw with Juve, draw at Fiorentina and a slender victory vs Torino. The break between March and June was a godsend. By then Elliott had united behind Maldini and Gazidis, allowed them to run the club even though losing Boban was a huge disappointment. This sense of unity and being able to train the team in tranquilly during lockdown allows Milan to almost start afresh. The club and team that returned when football restarted in June 2020 was almost a totally new one. For a manager to succeed, he needs full support of the team, good players and of course leaders. That's where Ibra's contribution on the training pitch and dressing room also cannot be underestimated.
I was more focues on 2021 season so I didn't live as other Milan fan this season but even focusing on last 5/10 matchs was very intense
How can you not give room for credit dedicated to Ibrahimovic.
When he came we were having a bad time. Had lost 5-0 to atalanta.
Once he came in January everything changed! Ibra was the very fisrt important asset for a mentality change!
Do your homework man
Literally the truest turning point
Bro relax its not that deep. He already mentioned Ibra's contribution
@@cheddarcheesepls my man.. he only mentioned Ibra exactly, to "explain" the success of milan now you must give underlined credit to Ibra. For those reasons I said. But just mentioning him as an important buy or whatever the guy says was to me personally not fair enough on zlatan. I follow ac since im a child. I can tell whe the team starts growing balls. And that happened thanks to the first major most important singing. That gave a turn around
This is how you run a football club, im a liverpool fan and it shows that you can win titles by just having smart people running a club and that you dont need oil or billions
I agree with all things describe in this video. As rossoneri fans since childhood, 3 years of process from 2019 until now are not easy and now, regardless the match result, I more enjoy watching the team plays every week. hope Milan can win scudetto again and produce better result on UCL
Ik this is super irrelevant to the topic but today I was playing FIFA online and I said
“Yk what fuck it, let me play as AC Milan for a bit”
I want Unbeaten for 4 games
Won 3 and tied one
Leo a hat trick against Liverpool in one game
Giroud with a stunning header at the last second and
Diaz with a Brace against RM
It’s very swell to see a historic club like AC Milan bounce back, im looking forward for their champions league return
Also great video Adrian! Keep it up
I'm so happy for AC Milan
I haven’t been on this channel for a while, but I’m so glad to see you guys have grown so much.
"Padre Pioli" ti amo
Great video as always Adrian
A lot of football fans, especially Interisti, mocked us when Li was kicked out by Elliott because he wasn't able to repay his debts. Little did they know, that was the best thing that could happen.
Here's waiting for Zhang to implode their team soon.
Finally some love to my team :*
Great video and nice Ajax shirt!
Seeing AC Milan win the Serie A gives me hope as a Manchester United fan .If AC Milan can do it why cant Manchester United ??
utd board is in a mess
We (ac Milan) spent money randomly which fucked us up. If you want to come back you need to scratch the bottom, and you're not at the bottom if you spend that much.
Thanks for not jinxing us Adrian! ❤️🖤
I feel like I’m missing out by not watching serie A
You absolutely are. Incredibly entertaining league!
You’re not. Trust me
thank you and God bless for making an update from the last vid. Saw it like a year ago I think(?) and wow we did come far.
I like your analysis Adrian. Keep the good works
Im proud to be milanista they did an amazing trasfers spend a minimum money for a high quality young player. Other clubs need to copy these kind of transfers no big nonsense money. Milan proof that having a minimum money still could make a decent signing
Dude, the content you provide is always top class 👏
It's here!, Great video!
Next video: how Jose Mourinho improved Roma
AMAZING!!! Siamo CAMPIONI!!
hopefully you'll be able to make a video like this about Manchester United within the next few years
Milan boiss can finally rejoice after waiting for so long :)
Meanwhile Utd can't seem to figure it out the dinguses! 🤦🤦🤦
I'm a Milan supporter since 94 and the feeling about wining this scudetto was something I didn't feel even when they won the champions league. Il rossonero is back 🔴⚫
So awesome for the sleeping giant AC Milan and i'm a Feyenoord supporter when I was still in the baby crib , i loved the AC Milan team that played 2000's to 2007 , 2008 i remember a game against PSV , Milan was dominate by PSV in both games in the end Milan have 50% chance in that PSV phillips stadium and BOEM goal and BYe , bYe PSV '' and I thank AC Milan for very nice football matches for a nutraal viewer , I am not a Milan fan but AC Milan deserve this championship like no other .
Grazie Paolo and Federic
Grande grande grande
I’ve been waiting for this video since Milan won the Scudetto
Early July. Bit of chaos at the club. Milan lost out on Sanchez and botman. Origi looking like the big singing for the early transfer season. Leão and bennacer not renewed and maldini and massara renewed after their previous deals ran out. Redbird is red herring.
Let's hope Redbird doesn't make us regress
After a decade of frustration with My beloved club.. i am so happy we finally won the scudetto. Will need at least few more years and good recruitment to compete in Europe again.
about fucking time this video came out
Well as the saying goes u cant take the maldini out of milan ......neither can u take the milan out if the maldini
They say defence wins championships right? Milan gave up 9 goals in the second half of the serie a season.
I think thats the time when they drop Romagnoli and play Tomori and Kalulu
2 goals in like 10 games
From Berlusconi to Singer. Milan sure have a penchant for truly evil owners. I still like the club and team but their ownership pattern is off-putting to say the least.
Of course ffp doesn't apply to oil clubs like Shitty or P$G.
only thing they are yet to fix is their home kit for next season
Just wanted to point out Tonali's deal was restructured in Summer, and Milan ended up paying 17M total instead of 25 plus bonuses.
17 mln + a younger player*
That Man United tractor partnership is poetic in a way. Well, now they're farmers worthy of Ligue 1.
“Clearly ageing Romagnoli” he’s 27….
Is it me or does Pioli 6.39 look like Bill Bob Thornton....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
bro, its Rafael LEAO. But still nice video
Milaaaaan!!!! 🔴⚫️
Buying a club and investing to increase the value, is what Abramovich did with Chelsea, before the UK government stole it, yet his investment was portrayed as gifts by the media.
I wish you had added a link to the video you referenced in the intro. Now I have to look for it☹️.
That turtleneck goes hard
I remember when they made those singings in 2017 everyone thought they would challenge juve that season 😂
Yes
I found this vid by luck am glad to see it
I got my content, you got your like. Been a pleasure doing business with you ;)
Pioli, Zlatan, kjaer
This was the first stage of development.
