Paulo Fonseca has been unable to add consistency to Milan’s game this season and with the halfway point now approaching, a turning point is desperately needed. Starting with tonight’s clash against Juventus, a strong performance is needed.
Today’s newspapers certainly highlighted the importance of the game, especially for Milan, as they currently find themselves six points behind the Bianconeri (albeit with a game in hand). And while Juve will be without Dusan Vlahovic, Christian Pulisic is a doubt for the home side.
