Club history introduction

In 1899, the British Alfred Edward founded the predecessor of AC Milan --"Milan Cricket and Football Club". As of the 2003-2004 season, AC Milan has won 17 Serie A championships, 6 Champions League championships, and 3 Toyota Cup championships. There are five main golden periods in history, namely the Milan era led by one of the founders, Nordahl; the 1950s with Swedish stars and Uruguayan stars; the creation of the "favored tactics", the "golden era" led by the magical coach Nelio Loco The 1960s when "Prodigy" Rivera; and the era of the Dutch Three Musketeers created by Berlusconi himself; coupled with the subsequent Capello era, the AC Milan lineup during that period was almost the Italian national team lineup. However, there are also shadows in the history of AC Milan. In the early 1980s, AC Milan was relegated to Serie B due to fraud and fell into a brief crisis.

It was not until the current owner Silvio Berlusconi became the club's chairman that the long-term prosperity began. Although some mistakes were made in the transfer market during the period, in the 1998-1999 season, during the centenary celebrations, AC Milan won the 16th league championship under very unpopular circumstances, and sent a congratulatory gift to themselves. The best gift. Now, AC Milan has gradually overcome the low ebb and the lineup has become stable. Head coach Ancelotti led the team to achieve very good results in the previous seasons, bringing the club a league championship and a Champions League championship in two seasons. They have now begun their sixth golden season. Expect.

AC Milan's original substitute lineup was slightly weak, but with continuous additions in the transfer market over the past few seasons, the luxury of its lineup is no less than that of the original dynasty. AC Milan's investment in the transfer market is also very unique. Basically, it is high salary, low value, and likes to sign players whose contracts have expired. I believe that their approach will become the target of imitation by some strong teams in the future. AC Milan also has a unique "Milan Laboratory" that has made great contributions to keeping players in good long-term condition despite multi-front operations.
