Boban criticizes AC Milan midfield and discloses Tonali's rejection by Juventus

He expressed to Sky Italia: "Milan's decision to sell Tonali, their top Italian player who is deeply connected to the club, is truly disappointing. Parting ways with him is a loss that comes at a cost. When he chose to join Milan, he rejected a €42m offer from Juventus, showcasing values that should never be underestimated."

On Milan's Champions League defeat to Liverpool last night, Boban continued:"Big problems for Milan. There is no construction of play, the two central defenders are very slow and awkward, they don't have the courage and personality to play the ball forward.

"In the middle of the field there is no one who takes responsibility to do more concrete, important things, to get the ball to the wingers or the attackers. Then for an hour they play on the right? I don't understand. Never seen a ball on the left for Theo or Leao.

"It's not logical to play for an hour only on the right, so it was probably a choice. The most worrying thing was certainly the lack of reaction at 3-1. Only Abraham did something good, but they're obviously missing a leader. And there's a lot to build on."
