Over the past several weeks, my brother and I have been frequent guests on his Youtube videos and he truly has found a unique way to bring the entire Milan universe together with his work.
Because he has welcomed the AC Milan Bros (@ACMilanBros) numerous times on his post match reviews, he decided to take some time to answer a few questions for me.
Q: How did you become a Milan fan? What attracted you to this club as opposed to other clubs in Europe?
A: " I became a Milan fan at the age of 9. My Italian decent definitely played a part in me choosing Milan over other clubs. At the time, Inzaghi, Maldini, Gattuso and Nesta were the players that I enjoyed watching the most. Shortly after, I developed a love for the entire team. I consider myself very lucky to have witnessed some great club achievements such as the 2003 and 2007 Champions League title wins.
Q: As for Milan, if you had to pinpoint the three primary areas of concern for the current squad, what would they be and why?
A: "I think the three primary areas of concern for the current squad are reinforcing the defense, getting some technical midfielders, and getting rid of the waste. As far as reinforcing the defense, Milan took small steps this summer, however we are still lacking something. I always strongly believe that defenses make you win championships. Technical midfielders are another must in our current squad. I think we're pretty set as far as defensive midfielders go, however we need players that could make the defensive-attacking transition as smooth as possible. Finally, there is a list of players that are just taking up space at Milan and must leave. A mild cleanup was done throughout the summer, however the club must keep getting rid of the junk in the next transfer windows."
Q: How long do you think it will take for Milan to be back into the Champions League as a legitimate threat?
A: "I think right now the focus is getting back into the Champions League. We need to return being competitive in Serie A before we can call ourselves a legitimate threat in Europe. Without money being spent and without the appropriate players to challenge on all fronts, we will never be a legitimate threat again. When the club changes their current philosophy and demonstrates to the fans what they're truly capable of, then we can start talking.
Q: Long term, do you feel Pippo Inzaghi is the right man for the managerial job? And do you feel he is the one to lead us to a Champions League run?
A: "Pippo Inzaghi has the right qualities in my opinion to hold the manager job at Milan. For a club that currently has many problems and has to do without top players (unlike the top teams), I feel that he is doing a pretty good job. I believe fans are over-criticizing him at times when the results don't come. No one should expect any coach to perform miracles at Milan right now. I sincerely hope he stays at the club for a long time. It would be wild to see him win the Champions League as a manager after having witnessed him winning it as a player twice."
Q: Lastly, Milan take on Roma this Saturday, which is the last match of the year. Predictions?
A: "Roma is a very strong team of course with qualities in every sector. They're currently battling with Juventus for the Serie A title and they will want to keep up the pace with them. It will be a tough match at the Olimpico on Saturday, but I don't write off our chances. Christmas could come early for us Milanisti. After a win against Napoli, our morale is high enough to capture a result against Roma."
