MiTi: Uncertainty rises over the Serie A overseas matches between Milan and Como, and the AFC is under pressure

October 23 News Recently, "Gazzetta dello Sport" talked about Milan's Serie A overseas match against Como. They said that the uncertainty of this game is rising because the AFC is facing pressure on whether to approve the game.

Milan coach Allegri made a practical assessment of the matter: "It would be better if the game was played in Italy, otherwise we will organize a trip to Australia for this important game." These words were said on the eve of the game against Pisa, when the game against Como was still three and a half months away. However, as the debate escalates, these words become increasingly relevant.

In particular, the recent decision by La Liga to cancel another European match scheduled to be held in Miami - Villarreal vs. Barcelona, ​​has further fueled the controversy. Now, Milan's game against Como is in the spotlight, and questions about the game are growing.

The current situation is that although UEFA emphasizes that this is a special case, it has expressed support. For the proposal to become official, approval from FIFA, Football Federation Australia and the Asian Football Confederation is needed. Until recently, all of this approval seemed to be a formality.

However, FIFA President Infantino believes that it is risky to hold Milan's game against Como in Perth. He said: "Holding league games abroad needs to be regulated, because disorderly management is not good for anyone. Do we want everyone to be able to play anywhere and do what they want? FIFA is very firm in this regard, and we need a regulatory system that takes into account the interests of all parties."

According to the "Guardian" report, the AFC is facing "external pressure not to approve this game", so "the possibility of Milan and Como playing in Perth is decreasing." In other words, the likelihood of Serie A games being played 8,500 miles from home is diminishing.

In addition, the protests by Spanish players also attracted widespread attention. In the final round of the season, they decided to remain stationary for the first 15 seconds. Players opposed La Liga's decision, while La Liga highlighted the image and financial benefits of holding the games in the United States.

In Italy, there are also some sporadic protests. The most eye-catching are the remarks of two people directly involved. Rabiot called the plan "completely crazy", prompting a sharp response from league president DeSilvo ("Respect the money you earn"). Maignan pointed out: "People are too focused on the financial aspect and ignore other things. We have important goals, so we lose the opportunity to play at home."

As for the league, despite the increasing controversy, they have no intention of retreating like Spain, but are waiting for the final decision of the relevant departments.
