Georges Weah’s frustration and disappointment with AC Milan’s performance in the Champions League were palpable in his recent comments to Tuttosport. The former Ballon d’Or winner did not hold back, expressing his anger and calling for significant changes within the club.
Weah minced no words, labeling Milan’s performance as a “scandal” and suggesting that drastic action is needed. He went as far as to say that if he were in charge, he would fire the entire team and rebuild from scratch. While acknowledging Clarence Seedorf’s position as the manager, Weah shifted blame away from him, instead pointing fingers at the players for their lackluster performances and mindset.
Echoing criticisms from fellow Milan legend Zvonimir Boban, Weah lamented the decline in standards compared to the era of iconic defenders like Costacurta, Baresi, and Maldini. He criticized the modern players for being more focused on extracurricular activities like gaming, relationships, and wealth, rather than dedicating themselves wholeheartedly to the game.
Drawing from his own humble beginnings in Africa, Weah highlighted the contrast in dedication and passion for the sport. He emphasized his personal debt to Milan for shaping his career and expressed deep sadness at the current state of the club.
With Milan facing elimination from the Champions League and languishing in a disappointing 10th place in the league, Weah’s outburst reflects the frustration of fans and former players alike at the club’s decline.
