Two weeks of criticism after the defeat against Fiorentina complete with controversy over penalties and penalty takers, Milan returns to play tonight (6.00 pm) at San Siro against Udinese for the match valid for the eighth matchday of Serie A The heaviness of these days was also felt in the press conference the day before, which featured a very aggressive Fonseca – always polite.
Fonseca’s words
Punishments? Fines? Technical choices? Fonseca was very clear: “I don’t flaunt my leadership, I’m not an actor. What I say I say inside the locker room, face to face. If we have a problem I don’t give a shit about the player’s name, I direct confrontation with the team or with the players who made mistakes”. The day before yesterday, in the locker room, there was a discussion between the coach and the players about the problems in Florence, so as not to repeat any more mistakes and attitudes committed. Yes, obviously, starting with Udinese.
Milan’s probable lineup
What resulted is a lineup with a tactical change and some changes in the men, a very big one: in addition to the absence of Theo Hernandez due to disqualification, Rafael Leao will not play from the first minute either, with Okafor being preferred due to management of his condition after the national team commitments. Chukwueze will be seen on the right with Pulisic moved to the attacking midfield. Morata returns as striker. In defense there will be Terracciano in place of Theo, with Royal, Gabbia and one of Tomori and Pavlovic to complete the department.
