The match on Saturday will be remembered for a long time by the "AC Milan" team. After a 1-1 draw with "Genoa," the fans of the Milan club blocked the team from leaving the "San Siro" stadium. They did not let the team go and demanded a meeting with them and an explanation for the poor results.
The "AC Milan" players were the first to break through in the match, but the result was quickly equalized. Fans of the Milanese team saw how Massimiliano Allegri's players lacked ideas and sharpness up front. Mario Balotelli caused a lot of uproar, missing an 11-meter penalty.
The most loyal club fans blocked the exits from the stadium after the match and demanded a meeting with M. Allegri and the whole team.
"These players don't know what sacrifice is. They have so much money, while people like us work for them," one of the movement leaders told journalists.
Earlier, the ultras raised a banner inviting the team players to meet at the exit. Soon, police officers reinforced their forces near the players' exit zone.
M. Balotelli wanted to calm the fans, but security personnel did not allow him to do so. So Kaka and goalkeeper Christian Abbiati went to talk with about 300 fans.
They participated in a heated discussion for about three minutes, and then they were allowed to return to the locker room. Applause accompanied these players, as if the situation had been resolved.
"Things are not going well this year, but it happens to everyone. There is no need to dramatize," said "AC Milan" CEO Adriano Galliani. "We will not discuss the 'Curva Sud' fans. We all need to be calm and patient. We will get back on track."
"AC Milan" has not won in any tournament in the last seven matches. The club is lagging behind the leaders in Serie A by eighteen points.
