After AC Milan’s start, Paulo Fonseca needs someone to drag his team forward, and a report has suggested that the Rossoneri must look to two No.9s, one from the past, and one from the present.
The magnitude of Tuesday’s fixture cannot be understated. Milan’s win last weekend has only paused the problems, but a loss in either, let alone both of the upcoming fixtures would likely resume the talk about the issues. Probably, they would return much louder in volume.
This, of course, then comes with its own problem. Who can the Diavolo turn to in the hope of getting these results?
As Tuttosport (via Milan News) reports, Milan must look to the No.9. When the Rossoneri last successfully faced Liverpool, they were led by Filippo Inzaghi. Now, they must be led by two No.9s. One from the past, and one from the present.
The report suggests that Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Alvaro Morata must be the ones to ‘revive’ the Diavolo in their present state, and whilst both are capable of such a task, their importance must be shown this week.
Zlatan, absent from Milan in the past two weeks, has been a topic of conversation. For some, he fled when things got difficult, although the club have stated that his absence was due to previously made commitments. However, he returned to Milanello on the eve of Tuesday’s clash, perhaps the best time to return.
Looking at the present and future, Morata is ‘desperate’ to get back to playing after his recent absence, and whilst he has been unable to lead on the pitch, it is imagined he will have made attempts off it.
Consistently, he has spoken of responsibilities when playing for Milan – something which the fans admire him for recognising – and now he must show those responsibilities, whilst enforcing the same mentality on his teammates.
Fans: we want trophies and top players.
Management: best I can do is Zlatan conducting an orchestra.
Milan has signed an FFP agreement, which clearly defines Milan’s obligations. I really don’t understand how top players can be brought when we are still under the moratorium.
They should sign an agreement preventing them to burn piles of cash on guys like Musah, Chukwueze or Emerson Royal. Then fckin raise that salary cap and attract top free agents and get creative with the transfer fees. Inter, Juventus, Roma, Atalanta, Napoli can do it but not the fastest growing brand in the world…
I don’t really know what you got at Musah. Well, the man is the only one who has the balls to do it. I’m sure when the ball is with him. Young and strong, even Kessie didn’t show anything in the first two seasons. I agree about Royal, Kalulu should have stayed. If Kalulu stayed, Hummels and Rabiot were brought in, and Benacer and Jović left, I would have been more satisfied. But this is how it is. Real do not have players in the middle, so they don’t complain. Last year, a certain Joselu replaced Benzema, Militao and Courtois injured their ligaments, so they pulled out.
