Can't post this in news so...

Monto's been demoted and Miha's made De Jong the new captain.

Couldn't be more pleased. The correct decision. De Jong has been leading the team for two years anyway.

Monto's a fraud and this move might see him fade from first-team affairs entirely.

Was this an actual news report?

I think if anyone was going to take over as captain it would be Abate...

Or is this mostly coming from the fact that De Jong was captain in the friendlies and the media is writing the narrative based on that?

Nope, it's being reported. I forget who from.

Don't know then if it is realiable.

I think it's mostly coming from the fact that De Jong has been captain in the ICC. However, they're failing to note that Miha has so far used both Monto and De Jong interchangeably and not together in the midfield. And when Monto takes over the position he also takes the armband (unless Abbiati comes on before him)

Also, I don't think it's simply up to the coach to decide who's captain at Milan, it comes from the management as well. So it would probably have to be a unanimous decision for Miha to remove Monto's captaincy.

I think it's too early to tell anyway, once the season get's underway we'll know for sure.

They both played together yesterday and De Jong kept the armband.

Haven't yet gotten to that bit yet in Real's game (about to start watching the 2nd half)

If he had it on at the start, which he did, he wouldn't give it to someone else. It never really works that way. Did De Jong come off? And if so who did he give it to?

Yep, saw that.

Well that explains why he was the captain though. A player simply doesn't hand over the armband to another player unless he comes off.
