Ahead of the Derby della Madonnina, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has created a pact with some of AC Milan’s stars. In previous years, the Rossoneri have often fallen below the standards expected in the fixture. It cannot happen again otherwise changes will occur.
With Milan’s start to the season, they are already in an uncomfortable position. Key players are being questioned, the manager is being questioned, and the management is being questioned for its assembly of the current squad.
However, the Rossoneri must remain united, at least for now, with the game against Inter awaiting this weekend, a fixture that could already deal a damaging blow to the Diavolo’s season.
A win against their rivals would bring them level on points, and whilst the start of the season cannot be forgotten, worries could be lessened with a win in the Derby. Alternatively, a loss would move Inter six points clear, and there may be a sizeable gap to the top four places. Essentially, a win is a must solely looking at things from a table perspective.
The same message has been delivered to Fonseca, and as Calciomercato.com reports, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has made a pact with key players ahead of the fixture.
At the end of the session, the Swede – who oversaw training – had a ‘long time’ with Theo Hernandez, Mike Maignan and Tijjani Reijnders. In this time, Ibra reminded the players of their quality, whilst ‘urging them to give their best until the last minute’.
Ibrahimovic was also seen speaking to Fonseca in the training pictures, and whilst the Swede will decide the Portuguese coach’s future, they must be united until that happens. If Fonseca does not win the Derby, though, he will be sacked so that time may be soon.
What pact ? What does that even mean ?
Do we now have to form a pact with professional players who are paid to win in order to make them “win” ?
Aren’t the players themselves already tired from constantly losing to inter or it became something they just got used to ?
Seems like the usual media bs, either the journalist had a vision during his sleep, either the PR leaked that stupidity. They’re in full crisis communication mode.
The players don’t want to play well but Zlatan made a pact for them to try and get motivated to play against the biggest enemy of ours. Sounds good. Like the narrative. I smell the 2nd start already.
Zlatan is the one who is in charge as he said himself.
So a question to him:
Why on earth did you pick Fonseca when Tuchel, Allegri, Sarri and Terzic were available among others?
You knew Pioli was leaving a long time ago.
Since you make the decisions, why did you spend such a long time to take in Emerson? Tottenham were happy you took him. What was the reasoning behind that?
If Fonseca is sacked, will you leave too? Since you made the decision to hire him?
During the whole career you have been sarcastic and had fun with the journalists. No problem. But now you are 42 years old and you need a lot of media training to sound mature. You can’t talk about lions and scoring more goals as a42-year old when you ended your career already.
Wake up and be a leader!
He can’t be a leader outside of the pitch because he isn’t intelligent enough. On the pitch his legs could talk and back up his lacking mind and statements. Right now he can only talk and that will show how right I am. That is how it is, it won’t change. I predict that at the end of the season he will not be responsible for anything.
*Some questions*
Might as well fire him right now. Asking to win the Derby is the same as asking to win CL this season..
Off on a tangent…it is so saddening to watch Atalanta and our neighbours in blue holding their own against some of the top EPL teams and we got blown off the park. Top4 will be a battle this season.
Top 4? More like 6-8 lol
They played against Arsenals bench lol
Will you just come off it, is it the same Atlanta who beat the so called Liverpool last season in the Europa League
This guy takes 7 million euros to go and motivate people in the team. I suggest you to invest that money into good coach and a team leader rather than throwing them into the trash.
I agree. Ibrahimović wages are half of what Klopp had at Liverpool. When you add up what Pioli and Fonseca are being paid you have Klopp money.
I don’t know if it’s a “pact” per se, but think this has gotten to a point of “all hands on deck” basically. So Ibra is having to, hopefully, instill the fear into everyone. It’s ridiculous how psychologically frail this team has become.
