Why victory for Milan on Sunday would be a strong statement for the fight against racism

Saturday May 18 2013,
Tags: Mario Balotelli, AC Milan, Kevin Prince Boateng
Despite proclaiming itself to be one of the leading countries in European football, Italian football has been unable to stamp down racism which players of African descent in AC Milan have felt more than once for a number of years
One of the biggest let downs of modern day football is the constant abuse players receive from a section of the crowd solely based on their skin colour. A wide variety of racial slurs have been experienced by players in many leagues in Europe. Try they might, but the local governing bodies have so far been unable to cut this weed out of the root.

As a trend that surely forces football to take one step backwards after going so far, racism continues to haunt Italian football which is a shame for a country that in past, boasted so many players of African origin who made a name for themselves at their respective clubs.

Juventus vs Milan: Will the Rossoneri feel the void of suspended Mario Balotelli?

Saturday April 20 2013,
Tags: Mario Balotelli, AC Milan, Juventus
In arguably one of the biggest games in Serie A, Milan travel to Turin to face Scudetto hopefuls Juventus in a bid to find inspiration in the absence of Mario Balotelli.
They say that one player does not define a team’s success and neither a solitary performer lays foundations of a team in transitions. However, there are times when a single player can make a huge impact to what a club can achieve.

The case is more or less the same when it comes to AC Milan who have come to put their trust in troubled Italy international, Mario Balotelli. Since the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Paris Saint-Germain, no player has made such an impact on the Rossoneri as the young striker has.
