Paulo Fonseca and his Milan side collected three crucial points against Empoli on Saturday evening, playing as a team for the first time in a while. As highlighted by the pundit Luca Serafini, if they play like that, then they can fix the standings.
Thanks to two goals in the first half, and then another in the second, Milan comfortably clinched all three points against Empoli. They dominated from start to finish and could have scored more, as highlighted by Paulo Fonseca after the game.
Speaking to MilanTV, as transcribed by MilanNews, the pundit Luca Serafini shared his thoughts on the positive display. If they can continue like this, i.e. playing as a team, then there are enough games to fix the situation in the standings.
“Milan have returned to playing as a team: I don’t remember how long it’s been since there were two consecutive clean sheets in the league, it’s a good sign. This is a team that needs to play for each other, help each other, understand and read the situations.
“If you have this balance in terms of attitude and application, with or without Musah, you can chase objectives, fix the standings, and above all go to Bergamo with an awareness,” he stated.
Atalanta are indeed up next, at least in the league (Sassuolo in Coppa Italia on Tuesday), and it will be a very tough game away from home. The question is if Milan finally can follow up a strong performance with another one, which has been so difficult for them this season.
Belief. Belief in Relief.
Main problem was decision to make Fonseca our Coach.. I still think if we choose someone experienced, the numbers are better.. after this game Fonseca will be our coach definitely until the end of December.. the true is his numbers are not that bad as it look.. from 13 matches he has 6 clean sheets, lose 3 times and won 6 times, 4,draw.
For example Inter has also 6 and Atalanta 4 clean sheets..
If Fonseca is capable fix our defending, the results will be better and better.
In CL it’s same , 4 wins from 6 matches is not really bad.
It will be interesting to watch next match against Sassuolo and then at weekend match against Atalanta who play this season great
Fonseca is his own worse enemy. He keeps tinkering the starting lineup and formation. He used 343 in attack and 541 in the defensive phase against Real Madrid and won 3-1 in Madrid but then claimed that Milan cannot play the same way against Serie A teams. LOL.
Fonseca played the same formation and lineup against Real Madrid in the Empoli game except Tomori played instead of Gabbia and surprise surprise Milan won 3-0 against one of the best defensive teams in Serie A.
Yeah, Fonseca is sabotaging himself and the team. If we played the same way against Cagliari and Juventus we would have won those games.
Musah and Theo are better at Right and Left wingbacks and 343 gives the team more balance.
