During today’s appointment with Maracanà he spoke on the frequencies of TMW Radio Sauro Fattori. These are his words:
What is Milan missing at the moment?
“The players must take their responsibilities, the problem is that in the end it is always the coach who pays. It’s easier to change one than thirty. It is true that the club is not well represented, Ibrahimovic not only does not have an impact but perhaps even does some damage. Fonseca alone cannot do everything, in some moments controversies arise which the club must intervene in. At Milan no one prevents, Maldini did this and Ibrahimovic is not doing it. Society moves differently than we are used to, just look at the 125th anniversary celebration where there was no society. They didn’t even announce the players present, the history of Milan was present there, players of the caliber of Van Basten.”
Should Fonseca take on more responsibility?
“Ranieri is not afraid of being sent away, but he too, like Fonseca, must respond by scoring zero-nil because the club is not present. The club must feel in the air, I’m not justifying Fonseca or Ranieri, on the contrary Fonseca is taking responsibility and he also does it during the press conferences. But then there must also be work by the company behind it. If the coach has the club behind him, he excludes Theo Hernandez and talks about a technical choice, he assumes responsibility and starts again from this consideration. The coach tries not to lose the player all the way. Ibrahimovic was in Miami when Leao and Theo did not participate in the cooling break. If society allows Theo and Leao to do this, it’s a problem. Fonseca must not speak, the club must intervene. So it becomes an open cage. What happened in Florence shows that there is anarchy, Fonseca also has his responsibilities. However, the company is decisive on behavior, even Fonseca is an employee of the company and cannot decide on everything. You have to prevent problems between players and coaches first, already in Rome against Lazio in August it was a delicate match, there was no one in the stands at the Olimpico and Ibra was in Miami.”
How much is Fonseca at risk if he were to lose against Verona tomorrow?
“Tomorrow can also be risky, you never know what may be going through the club’s mind at the moment. If they lose in Verona, however, you have to go to the players and talk to them clearly. Leao earns more than everyone and must do more.”
