Gallery: ‘Fonseca under scrutiny’, ‘No defence’ – Today’s front pages in Italy

AC Milan failed to clinch their first win of the season last night and as if that wasn’t enough, they didn’t even get a draw this time out. Naturally, with the Rossoneri looking incredibly poor, the newspapers had some negative things to say.

Parma took control of the game immediately, finding the back of the net after just two minutes, and then continued to make life difficult for Milan. A plethora of chances were missed by the home side but in the end, they prevailed deservedly 2-1.

Paulo Fonseca held his hands up after the game but also criticised the attitude of his players, stating that there is a general problem in the team. A response is needed against Lazio next weekend, as highlighted by the newspapers this morning, otherwise the Rossoneri will find themselves in a very difficult situation.

    1. Its not just the coach man. We have a mediocre midfield period. No creativity whatsoever. Even out of form ben is more creativity than these players. And thats says a lot. Musah below average, cheek below average, reinders average, fofana to be seen. Also. The rest gotta step up.

  1. They still have time to get some proper players, winners. Chiesa is 13M. Rabiot free and so on. They don’t even have to spend 50M. But I suspect it will be Kone and some guy from some Premier League club that couldn’t play there but is a world class striker.

  2. His start is almost same Like Pioli… Pioli’s first 6/7 games was rollercoaster and we remember the match against atalanta, 5:0… And the he win Scudetto… I hope Fonseca need around same matches to start play his tactics… In pre seasson it was grat but now… In last 2 seasson we never play so bad…
    I take side to Fonseca, because Pioli was last half seasson out of fuel, no ideas and willingness for changes… But he really need to start play because IF we will be on 18th place after 7games, he goes. One thing is his tactics, but another is our squad, and our squad is enough powerfull to win games Like last two.. Our only hard oponents must be Inter and Juve, Atalanta… No Parma or Torino

    1. Here’s the stats from last 10 seasons for goals conceded in first two matches.

      2015/16 (allenatore Sinisa Mihajlovic) – 3 gol subiti
      2016/17 (Vincenzo Montella) – 6 gol subiti
      2017/18 (Vincenzo Montella) – 1 gol subito
      2018/19 (Rino Gattuso) – 4 gol subiti
      2019/20 (Marco Giampaolo) – 1 gol subito
      2020/21 (Stefano Pioli) – 0 gol subiti
      2021/22 (Stefano Pioli) – 1 gol subito
      2022/23 (Stefano Pioli) – 3 gol subiti
      2023/24 (Stefano Pioli) – 1 gol subito
      2024/25 (Stefano Pioli) – 4 gol subiti

  3. How funny and stupid idea 🙂🙃 i’m just optimistic, I want see a game, where we play good and at the end win.. After two games write #fonsecaout is nonsens from naive fan which want loses from Milan in next 5 matches and then they hope Fonseca will be sucked…
    And who will be our next coach? Bonera?? Or Abate? It is easier to try win and play better then after 7 games start again with new coach and after 15/16 games when we maybe start play good will be too late for fight even for CL for next year…
