“Raise your hand if you have ever thought of this “Fonseca formula” which allowed Milan to get back on track and abandon the lazy inertia shown in the first 4 rounds of the tournament.” Thus began the fund of Franco Ordinepresent this morning in the columns of Corriere dello Sport. The theme is obviously the Rossoneri’s rise, certified last night with the 3-0 against Lecce.
Ordine continues: “Raise your hand if you have ever imagined that, by lining up Leao and Pulisic together on the flanks and then adding Morata and Abraham to trample the central clods, taking turns like good friends, if one stops, the other comes back, to return to cover and recover precious balls, one could discover an offensive streak never considered even in the face of a dose of unbridled optimism. And instead in the depths of the September break for the national teams, looking at Lake Como where he decided to set up his residence , Paulo Fonseca had that crazy idea transformed from the derby to last night into a winning move.”
“His became a 4-2-goal because in the meantime Milan became the team with the highest turnover in terms of goals, despite that false start. But this is precisely the point. Goals have never been a problem, not even in Stefano Pioli’s seasons. That phrase which seemed like an excess of optimism (“we are looking for a dominant football”) is slowly coming to light even if other confirmations are awaited, especially at an international level to understand if this alignment can also withstand the impact of the European armies. Tuesday in Leverkusen – at the end -, with Bayer, is a good opportunity to answer this other question”.
