Milan coach Clarence Seedorf has revealed he and several
of the club's players met with ultras leaders after Sunday's 4-2 loss to Parma.
Build-up to the San Siro fixture was marred by fan protests
in the wake of Milan's disappointing UEFA Champions League exit to Atletico
Madrid on Tuesday.
Milan entered the match with four losses in their last
five, and banners were displayed outside San Siro while the team bus was jeered
as it entered the stadium.
The protests were reportedly targeted at club
vice-president Adriano Galliani and striker Mario Balotelli, while another
defeat can have done no good for Seedorf's long-term prospects in the job.
Ex-Milan striker Antonio Cassano scored twice for Parma
as they beat their 10-man opponents to record their fifth away league win in a
row.
Seedorf also said that some of the players who met with
the ultras were Balotelli and Kaka.
"These are delicate situations with people who have
this club in their heart, both on and off the field," Seedorf told Sky
Sport Italia.
"The meeting was very peaceful, they expressed their
sentiments, but nothing in particular happened.
"They all want what is best for Milan, so after two
years of suffering they felt the need to express their emotions.
"I was there briefly and there were also some
positive things said, as everyone has great respect for the jersey.
"Sometimes it helps just to listen and give the fans
a voice, so they know we hear them."
