History of the club

In 1899, Englishman Alfred. Edward founded the predecessor of AC Milan - "Milan Cricket and Football Club". Until the 2003-2004 season, AC Milan*** won 17 First Division titles, 6 Champions Cup titles and 3 Toyota Cup titles. There were five golden periods in the history of the club, namely the Milan era under the leadership of one of the founders, Nordahl; the 50s with Swedish and Uruguayan stars; the creation of the "dying tactic" and the "golden age" under the leadership of the marvelous coach, Nerio Rocco; and the "golden age" under the leadership of the "Golden Age". Loko led the "golden boy" Rivera in the 60s; and Berlusconi personally created the era of the Dutch Three Musketeers; coupled with the subsequent Capello era, the AC Milan lineup in that period is almost the Italian national team lineup. However, there are also shadows in AC Milan's history, in the early 80s, due to fraud AC Milan was relegated to the second division, and fell into a brief crisis.

It wasn't until current owner Berlusconi became president of the club that a long period of prosperity began. Although some mistakes were made in the transfer market during this period, AC Milan won its 16th league title in the 1998-1999 season, a centennial celebration, in a very unfavorable situation, and gave the best gift for its own celebration. Now, AC Milan has gradually overcome the low tide, and the lineup has stabilized. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti has led the team to very good results in the previous seasons as well, bringing the club a league title and a Champions League title in two seasons, and they are now embarking on their sixth golden period.

AC Milan in the original replacement lineup is a little weak, with a few seasons of the transfer market continue to add, the luxury of its lineup has been no weaker than the original dynasty period. AC Milan in the transfer market investment is also very characteristic, basically high treatment, low price, like to sign the expiry of the contract of the player, I believe that their approach will become the future of some strong teams to follow the object. AC Milan also has a unique "Milan Laboratory" which has been instrumental in keeping the players in good shape for a long time in the case of multi-line battles.
