Has Milan stopped? After Leverkusen, the Rossoneri suffered a second consecutive defeat in Florence, the first in the league after the derby which seemed to have marked the turning point for Fonseca and his team. Instead, Franchi’s move appeared to be a step backwards for the Rossoneri, who were unable to put on their side a challenge that seemed ideal to take on given the direction of the episodes.
And instead the Devil hit De Gea on the wall, but it’s not just that. The defense seemed much more fragile compared to the last outing, considering that in addition to the two goals scored, Fiorentina missed a penalty and saw two goals disallowed by Kean, who also hit the crossbar late on. And then the question of penalties: with Pulisic taking the penalty, Theo Hernandez and Abraham kicked instead. Both are wrong.
In the press room Fonseca did not mince words. In his analysis of the match he expressed himself as follows: “In the first half we lacked aggressiveness defensively and in duels. The way we conceded goals shows this clearly, the second balls almost always won. We were not rigorous in our structure. And then the missed penalties… But we created to score more goals than Fiorentina. Winning matches in Serie A is difficult, if you then miss two penalties and concede goals like the second… You have to be objective, that’s how it is.” What made the noise above all were his words on refereeing: “I don’t like talking about refereeing, but this isn’t football. Football is made up of contacts and one touch cannot be enough to give a penalty. A simple touch is enough, the we also saw this weekend. And then we all become nervous and it becomes a problem, this is football not the circus. And I’m not just talking about the penalty given against us, but also those given to us… How many penalties do we see in Serie A? “. And he also came down hard on the penalty takers: “It must never happen again, I told the players. I’m pissed off, the shooter is Christian (Pulisic, ed.)”.
