Milan in crisis after second defeat


AC Milan, with superstars Kaka, Ronaldinho and Andriy Shevchenko in their line-up, lost 2-0 at Genoa on Sunday to plunge the former European champions into crisis.

It was Milan's second defeat in the opening two games of the Serie A season following a 2-1 home loss to Bologna and put renewed pressure on coach Carlo Ancelotti, who failed to guide the team into the Champions League this season.

Giuseppe Sculli opened the scoring for Genoa after 30 minutes with Diego Milito adding an injury-time penalty to give the home side their first win against Milan on their own soil since 1983.

Milan are now secomd from bottom, propped up by Cagliari, who are also without a point.

After the match Milan general manager Adriano Galliani issued a warning to Ancelotti.

"He doesn't risk the sack, but he'd better stop losing," said Galliani.
