The calendar hasn’t been kind to AC Milan; they play Genoa tomorrow night, just three days after their match with Borussia Dortmund. It’s also the last of seven games that will be played in only 22 days.
Many have questioned the choice since the timetable was made public, and it is undoubtedly a strange one. Stefano Pioli faces a challenging scenario as Milan have just one training session left to prepare for the game (today).
The terrible timing is caused by the rules and laws governing TV rights, as MilanNews has underlined. Atalanta, Roma, and Fiorentina, among others, all competed on Thursday night in Europe; as a result, they must compete on Sunday.
These three teams will face Lazio, Cagliari, and Napoli in this round of the league, which ordinarily wouldn’t be a problem. There weren’t many open spots for Inter, Milan, and Juventus as a result.
For instance, Napoli might have played on Saturday instead of playing their UCL match on Tuesday. The match must take place on Sunday because they are playing Fiorentina. The circumstances are the same when Lazio plays Atalanta.
