Antonio Contethe coach that Milan fans had loudly requested over the summer, showed up at San Siro on Tuesday evening with his Napoli winning 2-0 and effectively excluding Paulo Fonseca’s team from the Scudetto race, which to date is 11 points away (8 if we assume the recovery victory in Bologna) from the top of the table occupied by the Neapolitans.
Of all the names associated with the Rossoneri bench, that of the Salento player was the most convincing not only from the point of view of experience, but above all of character and discipline, something which around Milanello seems to be a little lacking during this start of season. Yet, in the end, Milan opted for Paulo Fonseca surprising everyone, especially the environment, which immediately took sides against this choice.
RedBird didn’t want a cumbersome profile on the bench, but in retrospect the choice wasn’t the best, also because in the end what matters are the results, and Conte, unlike Fonseca, is bringing them home. And that’s why the newspaper this morning Tuttosport he headlined: “Antonio, the great Rossoneri regret”, referring to the fact that Milan could have had the Salento player on the bench and found themselves, why not, right in Napoli’s place in the standings.
