In a season that has turned sour in a hurry, AC Milan lost another game Sunday and Coach Carlo Ancelotti's future with the Italian team appears almost as precarious as that of on-loan Galaxy midfielder David Beckham.
This time, the downward-spiraling Rossoneri were beaten, 2-1, by Sampdoria in a rain-drenched game at Genoa that saw Beckham taken off the field after 68 largely ineffective minutes.
AC Milan was unable to match Sampdoria's fighting spirit or to prevent well-taken goals by Antonio Cassano and Giampaolo Pazzini.
"We are conceding goals too easily," Ancelotti said afterward.
Beckham, meanwhile, was left with only Pato as a target for his crosses from the right wing, but the Brazilian teenager was rendered harmless by Sampdoria's close marking.
Pato eventually scored his 12th goal of the season on a header off a cross from Giuseppe Favalli, but by then Beckham had long departed for the bench and AC Milan's late rally was not enough.
Afterward, Ancelotti complained about the "systematic fouls" on Pato.
"Every time he started to run he was being stopped," he said. "They blocked him so as not to allow him to gain speed. He suffered many evident fouls and was not protected at all."
Still, even though next weekend might be Beckham's swan song in Serie A, Ancelotti was able to remain positive, saying: "With the recovery of the injured players, our results can only improve."
Beckham, meanwhile, has admitted to being frustrated by the drawn-out saga of his attempted switch from the Galaxy to AC Milan. Last week, he sounded almost irritated by the whole affair.
"Every day there's someone asking me questions," he said.
Elsewhere, the Galaxy's other on-loan player, striker Landon Donovan, got on the field for only the final 13 minutes Sunday as defending German champion Bayern Munich was held to a 0-0 tie on the road by Werder Bremen.
