Paulo Fonseca seemed particularly irritated by what he saw during AC Milan’s defeat to Fiorentina last night and the backlash he is predicting after the result.
Milan’s winning run in Serie A was ended on Sunday night as they lost 2-1 against Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in a dramatic encounter that featured three penalties – two for the Rossoneri, all missed – and a late red card for Theo Hernandez.

David De Gea saved spot kicks from Theo Hernandez and Tammy Abraham after Yacine Adli’s opener, then Christian Pulisic’s volley made it 1-1. However, Albert Gudmundsson would strike after to win all three points for La Viola, a damaging result for Fonseca’s side before the international break.
Fonseca spoke during his post-match press conference after the game to assess what was another difficult night for his team, and he gave a couple of interesting responses which were relayed by MilanNews.
What do you think about the penalty situation?
“It must never happen again, I told the players. I’m p*ssed off, the shooter is Christian [Pulisic].”
Now it’s the international break…
“It doesn’t matter if there are rumours, they are not important to me.”
How do you explain the drop in performance levels?
“In Italy when you win you have played a great game. We didn’t score and we are the worst team in the world, just as I am the worst coach. I know how things are, but I can’t be like that.”
Oh surprise the cheapest coach alive lacks leadership and can’t get respect from his top players. Get yourself a “courage” banner to put in your office Paulo 🙂
You only appear when Milan loses 🤣. Alas for your luck.
Ibra sack that coach, his Grace is gone, that is why he will play beautiful ball, but no score
Mister,U are not the worst coach in this world
U are the worst for Milan at this time, that’s all 😞😞
It would be so funny if Pulisic takes the next penalty and miss lol. Fonseca might not be the best coach and neither was he my choise for coach, but people blaming him for the penalties is ridiculous.
JAJAJAJJA QUIEN ACÁ APOYA A ÉSTE PERDEDOR (FONSECA)? 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🇵🇹🤡
When a team lose 2 penalties it doesn’t matter who is the coach , you are going to drop points in that match.
The first goal conceded wasn’t really a penalty at all. The second goal conceded should have been dealt with by Tomori.
There is nothing else to add . What is apparent is that Fonseca will have to integrate other players into the squad as the Morata/Abraham cannot always play from the start, they will need to alternate.
Can’t really blame the coach for this defeat except for letting the players decide who takes the penalties.
Both Morata and Abraham play deep too much even when Milan is attacking .. this Team need a good box 18 striker who will give opponents CB’s sleeping night .. this is what Giroud does and that is missing from both strikers.
One if them really to stay in the opponent box
I agree , we definitely need another forward because Morata will play more as a no. 10 and Tammy works a lot and links play but his finishing is not of a top marksman.
Morata plays deep because the only creative Milan-player is playing for Viola now. Who’s there to get the ball up if Morata won’t play deep?
I don’t really care about whoever it was that took and missed the penalties but one undisputed thing for me about the team is thier lack of coordination, leadership and discipline amongst them , and in most cases, the coach is clueless, and lacks the ability to make the desired and positive changes during games and for that he’s not a suitable coach for a team like a AC Milan
Can’t stress it enough. The team is poorly build. Fonseca got his many flaws but still no proper am, our dm is getting better. Abraham and morata duo worked vs inter because the element of suprise was morata as am mostly, now that’s been figured out by other teams. Don’t even wanna go to penalty takers. That was childish stuff.
This team is build by the Big Boss. Everyone works for him . His arrogance, ego, self-delusion and cluelessness are out of any charts. His name is Ibra. New clown in town.
