This evening at the U-Power Stadium in Monza there will be something new on the right defense lane: rest for Emerson Royal, but Davide Calabria will not play but Filippo Terracciano. Former footballer Marco Parolo commented on this choice to DAZN:
“Some players think they have status, almost guaranteed places. Fonseca is taking this away. It’s not easy to switch, given that Calabria who was captain with Pioli and now finds himself surprised in Terracciano who with training and desire finds minutes It’s a warning for him too and if he wants to become a starter again he has to work harder in training.”
On Milan’s defensive problems
“Behind the back, Milan needs to find a balance, Fonseca is rotating a lot and this doesn’t help to find stability in the department.”
