Great teams must necessarily have a great center forward, who isn’t limited to just scoring goals. From this point of view, Milan can certainly sleep soundly. In addition to Abraham who is gaining space both on the pitch and in the hearts of the fans, Fonseca can count on a Alvaro Morata who – after the physical problems at the beginning of the season – is imposing his status as an international-level centre-forward.
Against Lecce, still paired with the English ex-Roma player, he worked for his teammates but also did what is asked of strikers: unblock a match that was becoming treacherous. For La Gazzetta dello Sport – and not only – he was the best on the pitch: “Recovered at the last minute after an injury suffered on Thursday, he broke the deadlock and did a great job in the non-possession phase. Replaced amidst applause”.
Positive opinion also from TMW, the only newspaper to give him 7 together with La Repubblica (the others all 7.5): “And to think that he didn’t even have to play due to a contusion… There’s a surprise from the start and to the usually makes itself felt: the goal, as a striker, which opens the scoring, many decisive movements for the team and the feeling that this is already his Milan.”
