The AC Milan players are now discovering that they are required to play every day of the week, mainly night games back to back with extra time, and all match winning bonuses have been taken away. An additional EK cost neutral pay review is also due to be implemented. This will take at least a further 20% off of the players wages but not, apparently, in contravention of the teams original terms and conditions.
The players budget has also been hit resulting in inexperienced players being signed from the lower leagues adding pressure on the experienced players to get results. Players have also reportedly been asked if they know of any other players they could recommend to join the club but most declined the request wishing to keep the friends they have. Others reported that those they asked preferred to stay where they were and that in response to the offer they were told that they shouldn't bother coming round for pasta or their sister again if that is how little they think of them.
The players when asked about their new sponsors simply replied "Ciao" or words to that effect.
