Costacurta criticises 'mistake' of sacking Maldini: "Many bad decisions were made"

"“This isn't a first half today. It's the result of the games against Udinese, Juve and Sassuolo. In my opinion, they gave it their all, but you lose focus... and that's the performance. They arrived out of breath at the most important moment of the season.”"

"“Even those who don't know him know it was a mistake. It's clear to see how many bad decisions were made. Paolo was good at creating a certain atmosphere during those years, and I'm sure he did, because I know how much he cares about laying the foundations for a dressing room that inspires energy, positivity and courage.”"

"“Amid all of this, there is once again a climate of protest surrounding the team in the most decisive moment. The Curva Sud voiced their anger towards the management and ownership, as well as the players after last night's shameful showing against Atalanta.”"

Milan’s recent decline has ended Scudetto hopes and left the team fighting to finish in the top four. A protest climate has returned during the most decisive part of the season, with Curva Sud expressing anger toward management, ownership, and the players after a poor performance against Atalanta at San Siro. Costacurta links the current problems to earlier matches against Udinese, Juventus, and Sassuolo, saying the team lost focus and arrived out of breath at key moments. He also calls the 2023 decision to sack Paolo Maldini a mistake, citing Maldini’s ability to create a positive dressing-room atmosphere and lay foundations for energy, positivity, and courage.
