AC Milan Need Reinforcements - Boca Juniors Coach Alfio Basile

Another person has joined the chorus of people calling for the Rossoneri to dip into the transfer market...

Alfio Basile - Argentina (Mexsport)
AC Milan lost both their matches in the Audi Cup, falling 4-1 to Bayern Munich before being defeated on penalties in the consolation game by Boca Juniors.

The coach of the Argentine side, Alfio Basile, believes the Italian outfit have become significantly less competitive over the past couple of seasons.

"I have spoken to [Milan coach] Leonardo, who is worried," he revealed to the Corriere dello Sport on Friday.

"[President Silvio] Berlusconi must assist in buying players for their attack, compared to the 2007 team that won the World Club Cup they are missing a lot, mostly their offensive potential."

Milan won the 2007 World Club Cup in Japan by defeating Boca Juniors 4-2. The Rossoneri have not won a competition since that time. The Italian side have also failed to bring in a replacement for Brazilian star Kaka, who left the club for Real Madrid this summer in a €65 million deal.
