8:41am, 24 August 2025【Football】

Last season's AC Milan performed poorly, but only ended as the 8th in the league, and missed the Champions League again in five years. For this reason, Milan became the team with the most rapid action in Serie A. The Ross and Blacks first hired Allegri to go to the palace to coach for the second time, and also signed seven new players including Modric, Ricci, Bonifers, and sold 12 players including Kalulu and Reindes. After changing half of the lineup, Milan also ushered in the first round of Serie A in the new season. He played against Cremonese at home, and the Ross and Blacks directly lost 1:2.

Cremonese was relegated in the 22-23 season and returned to the Serie A after two years through the upgrade to the playoffs last season. In this game, Modric welcomed his first Serie A start, with Chik and Yousoft Forfana in the midfield; Esturpinian and Salmarkles on both wings; Jimenez and Pulisic double strikers; the three-man in the back line are Tomori, Gabiya and Pavlovic; the goalkeeper is Meinion.

In the 4th minute, Chik made a straight pass to the frontcourt, Yusuf Forfana passed the ball with the opportunity, Jimenez's low shot caused a refraction, and Odero rushed to the post; in the 19th minute, Modric's iconic outside instep near the center circle, Jimenez's volley was volleyed in the air, but unfortunately he was offside first, missing this wonderful goal. In the 22nd minute, Pavlovic made a mistake in clearance, Krokolo intercepted the ball, Bonazoli volleyed at the near corner, and Menion focused and tried his best to save the ball.

In the 28th minute, Zerbin made a cross in the second corner attack, and Baschiroto headed the ball into the upper corner of the goal. This time, Menion watched the ball enter the net without any reaction, 0:1! Fortunately, before the end of the half, Salmarkles passed Zerbin from the left and made a straight pass. Esturpinian quickly followed up and made a cross from the bottom. Pavlovic equalized the score with a powerful header from a close range, 1:1!

Back from the locker room in the second half, Milan formed a siege; in the 51st minute, Modric's long-range shot from the outside was saved by Odero from the baseline; then the corner kick was taken, and Prisic's volley was rejected by Odero; another minute later, Modric transferred the ball and passed Salmarkles back to the middle from the right, Yousuf Forfana kept shooting hard, and Odero once again paid a divine pounce in just 2 minutes.

Often wasted opportunities on the football field and were punished. In the 60th minute, Baschiroto successfully counterattacked and passed directly. Pezera made a cross. Bonazoli soared and volleyed the world wave. Menion stretched his whole body and could not stop the ball from entering the net. 1:2! Milan once again fell behind at home. In the 79th minute, Yusuf Forfana made a straight pass from the penalty area in the middle, Jimenez followed the trend with his back, and Chick's close shot missed the goal.

Then Allegri made consecutive substitution adjustments, with Ashari and Chukueze playing; but for the rest of the game, Milan failed to create any decent opportunities; in the end, he lost to Cremonese 1:2; and suffered a black start in the league in the new season.
