Sebastien Frey goes straight down on Stefano Pioli

Sebastien Frey already goes direct on Stefano Pioli

Sebastien Frey, former French goalkeeper of Inter, Verona, Parma, Fiorentina and Genoa, at the microphones of TV Play made some rather harsh statements about the AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli, who in his opinion would need to have a charismatic figure like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paolo Maldini close by.

“Pioli has less specific weight to convey something to him than a Maldini, a Baresi or an Ibrahimovic,” Frey said, quotes quoted by Pianeta Milan. “Two years ago they won the Scudetto and at the climax for the qualitative leap; Maldini is sent away. All the players regretted it and sent a signal to the extent that they were allowed to, so with social media. Then at this point it would make more sense to involve more a figure like Franco Baresi, who is already part of Milan”.

“Pioli needs a man of charisma like Ibrahimovic or as Maldini could have been,” Frey continued. A figure who is so emblematic and so Milanese that he would necessarily be a reference point. Leao è an outstanding player and I do not question him, but he must be protected and safeguarded in the right sense. A pull of’ears as Ibra or Maldini would know how to do. Forò Pioli does not è Ibrahimovic. Milan has è found itself from one season to the next at zero in this respect”.
