AC Milan started the season in an unforgivable way, but they are looking to make amends. Fortunately, they earned their first victory at the weekend, but with Liverpool and Inter next up, it must be progression and not regression.
Since joining the club, Paulo Fonseca has certainly not had it easy. No one expected it to be easy, though.
Already, he is facing questions about his position as head coach – questions which are not expected to go away soon – and some of his key players have starred in controversy. To top it off, Milan started the season abysmally.
With Liverpool and Inter awaiting, the next two games could be decisive in his future. Therefore, he must name an eleven consisting of leaders. Players who are ready to fight for the club, for their teammates, and him as the head coach.
With this in mind, changes are to be expected, according to Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below). In defence, Fikayo Tomori is set to return to the starting lineup after being rested against Venezia, and Davide Calabria is currently expected to return to take Emerson Royal’s place – the Brazilian could start, though, with Fonseca yet to make a final call.
In midfield, there will be no changes, with the trio of Youssouf Fofana, Tijjani Reijnders and Ruben Loftus-Cheek all remaining.
Once again, Christian Pulisic and Leao will take their places on the wings, but this time, the line will be led by the recently returning Alvaro Morata, who has already spoken of the importance of Tuesday’s game.
People need to keep these matches in context. Torino and Parma were bad performances. But the Liverpool game is not going to define whether we go through in the UCL, the later games against Pot 2-4 teams will determine that.
Well since I have no idea what the rules are any more with this oversized super league thingamajig, I’ll have to take your word for it!
Calabria is just coming off an injury so I don’t really expect him to perform and he’ll surely be the topic here among Gerry bunch after the game. But I’d take injuried Calabria over Emerson any day.
If Calabria puts even one foot wrong (to make up for Fofana’s terrible positioning) they’ll be on him like vultures!
That will be our best starting lineup.. Calabria over royal and morata should start.. all we need to do is defend well and try to score.. I’m sure we will win this game we are AC MILAN and this is SAN SIRO.
I want Calabria to get back to his Scudetto-winning form, so that we can draw a line under the Emerson mistake..
Ok the line up is Good but Acmilan should change tomori second half the zeroli will replace Loftus cheek then musah will replace rejnder in attacking midfield around 79 minutes. Then we carry further substitute of Okafor and chukwueze to leao and pulisic. Acmilan will utterly destroy Liverpool
