Omitting Rafa Leao and Tammy Abraham from Milan’s starting line-up for the home match against Udinese upon their return from the break was not only a gamble for Paulo Fonsecabut also a demonstration of character. Proof that on the Rossoneri bench there is a true technical leader who is not afraid to make strong decisions, not even when faced with some names. This, inform The Corriere della Serawas a direct message to the whole group: no one is untouchable, everyone is up for discussion.
Golden opportunity
Now comes another great challenge for the Rossoneri and that is getting back on top in the Champions League. Two defeats in the first two outings do not bode well and the Devil would already be at risk, but with a victory against Bruges tomorrow they would partially repair the damage done. And he would find confidence in the second success in a row, giving some breathing space to Fonseca who is once again in question after the last shaky period.
Mandatory passage
For him, we read in the Milanese newspaper, this autumn will be decisive. But after the penalty case that broke out in Florence, the Portuguese coach wanted to take matters into his own hands and change the balance of the locker room with punitive benches. Tomorrow it is forbidden to make any mistakes against Bruges, against whom Rafa should be seen again from the start: Milan’s number 10 is called upon to make a great response. He must demonstrate that he is worth the permanent position. While Fonseca absolutely needs useful results.
