ACMILAN1983, I understand what you're saying, but Milan cannot succeed playing that kind of football.
We can draw parallel with Mourinho's Inter, after Ibrahimovic left.
Mourinho played mostly on counter and with quick attacks, but he had a super-strong defense, supported by the best defensive midfielder in the world and Inter had a certain variety that we can only dream of. For example, Maicon could set up 5-10 goals for season only from the side, even scoring five goals, Sneijder had better vision than all of our current roster combined, as he could break any defense in the world at any time, Eto'o could score from individual moves, etc, etc.
We have nothing, we do not have a single side player who can cross, except Emanuelson, and he's in form for 10 games every season, we do not have a single player who can unlock defense except Montolivo who mostly goes missing after 50 minutes of the game, our defense sucks, and most imporant: We do not have capable players to break up attacks constantly so we can make quick counters. Only Nocerino and Boateng are players with lungs and Nocerino is average in breaking up the play, while 80% of Boateng's tackles are fouls.
One other thing to remember, Inter won CL title by beating Bayern when Bayern was concentrated on defense. 80% of Serie A teams pack the bus in front of their box for 90 minutes, which means forget quick counter.
