The very harsh outburst of Milan coach Paulo Fonseca after the defeat against Atalanta has predictably sparked countless controversies. The Portuguese manager attacked referee La Penna for having validated De Ketelaere’s goal, but more generally he spoke of the match being tilted in favor of the Nerazzurri. “Fonseca said very serious things. In a system that does not accept allegations he cannot be on the bench next week against Genoa. And not because he has been sacked. Will anyone take action?” the journalist of ‘Il Sole 24 Ore’ Giovanni Capuano wrote on his profile ‘X’.
However, the position of the Rossoneri journalist Mauro Suma is different: “Let’s be clear that Atalanta didn’t steal anything. Of course. But there are two small details. If you score a goal by sinking the opponent, the game will go downhill for you, a match which in fact starts from 1-0 and not from 0-0. And then if Pasalic hits the calf of the opponents’ technical leader without being warned, Pulisic, forced out, you have the feeling that everything is going in the right direction. Opponent down by a goal and the most inspired opponent player out.
And again: “May the others certainly respect us, alongside the Coach. Absolutely and without hesitation. But we too must earn respect on the field, sensing the danger and not giving up anything. Which we have done too many times at this point, putting the season is in jeopardy through our fault, through our very great fault”, wrote Suma in his editorial for ‘MilanNews.it‘
