The lyrics of the ancient Ballon d'Or have a certain weight in the world of football. Ruud Gullit, legend of AC Milan and a connoisseur of the game, did not hesitate to share his analysis on the current situation of his former club. Consultant for beIN SPORTS MENA alongside his ex-Coequipier Marcel Desailly, the former Dutch international gave a critical look at the difficulties of the Rossoneri, while saluting the success of another European giant.
For Gullit, AC Milan is at the crossroads. He believes that despite the quality of the workforce and reinforcements of the winter transfer window, the club could not find its identity. “Honestly, I did not understand what type of football Milan wants to play”,
He said on the Gazzetta dello Sport, pointing to the lack of consistency and long-term vision. According to him, the victory in Italian Super Cup was only a straw fire, unable to bring real momentum to the team.
But Gullit was not satisfied to criticize. He also cited clubs which, according to him, have been able to evolve intelligently. “”
As PSG did, they stopped buying stars at all costs and took a trainer with a brilliant play philosophy ”, he said, referring to Luis Enrique. The sports management of Paris Saint-Germain, focused on the valuation of young talents and the establishment of a strong game identity, is an example that Milan should be inspired.
The PSG model, an example to follow for Gullit
The Dutchman also praised Liverpool for his choice to replace JĂĽrgen Klopp by Arne Slot, a coach with similar ideas. For him, this continuity is the key to success. “Success cannot be bought, it is built with work and wise choices”he hammered. A strong message that invites Milanese leaders to rethink their approach.
A strong message for AC Milan
For Gullit, the path is clear: find the roots of the club, its DNA and its pride. He remains convinced that AC Milan can reconnect with the summits, but only inspired by models like that of PSG. A wink supported by the ambition and strategy of Parisians, now erected in reference by one of the largest legends of world football.
