    EXCLUSIVE: Is the Milan dressing room divided?

    EXCLUSIVE: Is the Milan dressing room divided?

    For the second season in a row, Milan have lost their first game after the Christmas holidays. And on both occasions, their embarassments are due to Emilian teams: Sassuolo last year, Bologna this time round, thanks to an Emanuele Giaccherini finish at the death. Though the fans reserved a lot of their anger for usual target Adriano Galliani, a lot of vitriol was directed at under-fire manager Sinisa Mihajlovic... and the players. 

    Right, the players. Some headed to the Curva Sud to ask for forgiveness, but many others made a beeline straight for the dressing rooms. 

    Gianluigi Donnarumma, Ignazio Abate and Andrea Poli were among the few who tried to convince their team-mates, even energetically, to stay on the turf: nothing doing, the likes of Carlos Bacca and Luiz Adriano ran off anyway, seeking shelter from the fans' anger. 
    With so much pressure and stress gradually accumulating due to adverse results and increasing tension, the dressing room is beginning to show signs of frailty, and even of divisions. It will be up to Mihajlovic to patch things up before Milan travel to Roma in just four days.
