Last summer, Milan bought a lot of players, including potential stars and fit 24-28 year old players with plenty of power. But now, Milan ranked sixth in the Serie A. In the Europa league, they are faced with the threat of Arsenal.
Why are AC Milan so weak?

Experts of last DAILY TOPIC: What do you think is the top 3 youth academy of football in the world?
@ABhishek_FCB: If there is a discussion about youth academies and you don't discuss about La Masia.Then your discussion is meaningless!!!
Based on philosophy of 'Total Football' derivative of Tiki taka, a pass and move possesion game predicated on supreme technical skills ,La Masia has produced plethora of talented players who have conquered footballing world with their determination and mind-blowing skillset. Xavi, Ineista , Fabregas, Busi, Thiago Alacantra, Messi and so on...
It has one unique achievement which can't be matched in near future..in 2010 all 3 Ballon d'Or finalists were La Masia graduates - Messi, Ineista and Xavi...
Then comes AFC AJAX youth academy.. Both 'Total Football' and its greatest practitioner, Johan Cruyff, were molded in the Ajax academy.
Many of the core tenets of that philosophy remain today,with all age groups playing a fast, interchanging 4-3-3 system with an emphasis on 'TIPS': Technique, Insight, Personality and Speed. In present days there are many talented players habe come up from thia academy like Christian Eriksen, Thoams Varmaelen, Justin Cluivert, Matthias De Ligt and so on.
Then comes the Manchester United Youth Academy.. A youth program which once trained Sir Bobby Charlton and who could forget Class of '92 led by David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Neville Brothers and Ryan Giggs followed by Javier Hernandes, Chris Smalling and now Markus Rashford .
So for me these three are the best youth academies.Thoams Varmaelen, Justin Cluivert, Matthias De Ligt and comp.. Then comes the Manchester United Youth Academy..

SL Benfica: The Benfica youth academy, also known as the Seixal after the region it is located, features a State of the Art Training facilities and has served Europe with a range of talents, while also leading the club to become the most successful club in Portugal with 79 trophies in their 112 year long history.
They won the double last season (Primeira Liga and Taca de Portugal 2016-2017)???. Current Fiorentina coach Paulo Sousa, Manchester City's new starlet Bernardo Silva and Swasea's Renato Sanches are some of the graduates of the Seixal academy, while former Ballon D'Or and two times European Golden Boot winner Eusebio stands out as their biggest star of all time. He too can also be described as a Benfica product since he entered the gates of Estádio da Luz at the age of 18♥♥.Other former talents who have been part of the youth academy of Benfica at some point are; Lazar Markovic, Angel di Maria, Andre Gomes and profilic striker Nuno Gomes.⭐⭐⭐

AC Milan were weak under their previous manager but under Gattuso they are looking far more improved and better team If you're discussing this just on basis of their current match against Arsenal then it was just a one bad day for them If you are still not convinced then you should see their current serie A form they are just on roll since the arrival of young manager Gattuso They're on the right track in achieving their dream of becoming the old and great AC Milan again

Because THEY DON'T HAVE A LEADER .THEY DON'T HAVE PLAYERS STAND UP WHEN TEAM IS IN PRESSURE.THEY LOSE THE BALL.VERY OFTEN. AND THATS THE REASON OPPONENT IS IN CONTROL OF THE GAME .AND EVEN AFTER GOOD BUILDUP THERE ARE PLAYERS SHOOTING FROM DISTANCE FOR INDIVIDUAL GLORY🙈

I really don't think AC Milan is weak, to me they are in a rebuilding stage... the A.C. Milan I once knew a few years ago though were lethal and a force to be reckoned with... but currently, they are improving and gettinh better... a few complacency has crept in now and then but they have to potential to be up there with the big boys... this season they started off bad in the league resulting in their manager to get sacked... after that sacking they've been getting better and better and it is only a matter of time before they become consistent... players like Bonucci at the club will provide some added experience... Kessie is another to watch, althou a series of a few bad performces is making us think other wise.. but I like cutrone and suso... these players can lift AC Milan back to the Milan we once knew and love... so for me I don't think they are weak, they are just rebuilding and a rebuilding stage in football takes time... next season is AC milan's year

AC Milan are so weak because there are stingy with their money .They don't want to buy classic player that will enforce their both attacking point and defence point .AC Milan invest your money for the future be realistic Milan .Best of AC Milan must come back as before
