Paulo Fonseca should retain his job after winning the Derby della Madonnina, but a report has claimed that this was not the biggest victory of the game, and instead, AC Milan have gained something much bigger.
Milan’s start to the season brought many things into view, and the biggest or most worrying were the claims that the squad were not playing for each other or the manager. On several occasions, the effort levels of the team have been criticised and against Inter, this could not be repeated.
In the derby, everyone must give extra, whether it be running an extra yard than your opponent, or moving away from your standard role. The Rossoneri did that. Players took sacrifices, and for the first time this season, they fought for one another, and above all, their manager, as Calciomercato.com claims.
Fonseca should now keep his job, according to the report, but that is not his biggest victory. It is the ‘sacrifices’ made by the players, Theo’s ‘focus’, Fofana’s ‘grit’ and Emerson’s ‘desire for redemption’. A fantastic night made that much better by the fact that Milan displayed true Rossoneri spirit, a team that fought for each other, the coach and the fans.
The turnaround by the players in the effort and the fight they have shown in the Derby is pretty spectacular. I’m not sure what to attribute that to especially since even on Tuesday they were in such disarray…
Did something click? Was it Ibra talking to players? more importantly, can we keep this momentum going forward and keep going like this? No one will fault Milan for losing any game if they play like this EVERY time.
Ofc we can. Let’s hope we find the missing ingredients in the team and strong mental consistency. Maybe not in UCL, but we should keep momentum and get the f scudetto this season.
That’s what I’m scared of is that always in a derby you find that motivation. But the difference is inter go into every game with that attitude and we haven’t. If we can literally go into every game with this sacrifice and attitude and play like that then whatever the result is I’d be proud of the boys. The biggest test is now against lecce. A team that we should win and must, but I want to seethe fire in their eyes again just like against inter.
Missing from this list once again is The Spoiled Rotten Tarnished Former Golden Child…
Well, I don’t really need to speak his name, do I?
You all know who I’m talking about.
you guys are just obsessed with the real golden child, he is the best, accept it and know peace
Eddie Murphy?
Let’s hope Milan treat every game now like they are facing Inter and get some decent momentum going. Forza Milano!!
