Milan President Delivers Verdict on Postponed Game vs Bologna

Milan President Paolo Scaroni has delivered his verdict on the postponed Serie A game between Bologna and the Rossoneri. In his latest interview, as reported by TMW, Scaroni deemed the Lega Calcio’s decision to push back the game, originally scheduled to take place at Renato Dall’Ara on Saturday, ‘incomprehensible.’

Inclement weather forecast forced the Serie A officials to suspend the upcoming Gameweek 9 clash between Bologna and Milan. That decision could put the title-hoping Rossoneri in harm’s way further down the line, with a congested fixture schedule awaiting Paulo Fonseca’s side between now and November’s international break.

Therefore, it’s barely surprising that the postponement didn’t go well with Scaroni.

“An incomprehensible decision. Mayor Lepore has prohibited the match behind closed doors. I don’t understand why, but in the face of the Mayor’s order, we bow our heads,” the Milan President stated.

Heavy rain and flooding since October 19 have significantly affected the city of Bologna, making the mayor announce his decision to postpone the encounter on Friday late afternoon. However, everyone around Milan was desperate for the game to go ahead as scheduled, especially given Milan’s tight fixture list.

With several high-profile matches looming, including UEFA Champions League commitments, Milan are facing a potentially grueling period of back-to-back games. The postponement adds to the congestion, leaving less recovery time between fixtures and increasing the risk of fatigue and injuries.

Scaroni’s frustration is understandable, considering Milan hoped to build momentum ahead of a pivotal Serie A clash against Napoli following a 3-1 win against Club Brugge on Tuesday.
