Things get heated between Paulo Fonseca and AC Milan players

Sometimes in football, a victory can lead to big rants. And that’s what happened at AC Milan. The Rossoneri did not shine against Red Star Belgrade, but they were able to win with forceps, thanks to a goal scored in the 87th minute by Tammy Abraham. A 2-goals-to-1 success which allows the Lombards to be twelfth in the Champions League standings with 12 points and almost assured of competing at least in the play-offs. But this narrow victory did not please Paulo Fonseca, the Milan coach, not at all. At the end of the meeting, the former LOSC coach did not hesitate to charge his players.

“I know that I work every day to do well and teach the team things. I don't know if everyone on the team can say the same. We had the ambition to come here and give everything… and we didn't do it. When you approach a decisive match like this and you have this kind of attitude, without giving everything for this jersey, things are difficult. We have an obligation to give everything. You can miss a pass, but it's hard to watch that. I will never stop. I have a clear conscience. If I have to bring the boys from Primavera or Milan Futuro, I will do it. No problem ».

Hernandez still targeted

Relaunched after this charge against his players, Paulo Fonseca seemed exhausted, as if he had taken part in the match. “Am I as tired as if I had been playing? Even worse. I cannot be satisfied with this performance. I'm not angry, but sad. Of course we won and we're in a good position, but that's how I am. Sometimes I get tired of fighting these things too. » This is not the first time that the Portuguese has taken exception to his squad. We remember, for example, his clashes with Rafael Leão and Theo Hernandez, whom Fonseca often annoyed by putting them on the sidelines.

And this time again, the left side of the France team would still be targeted. According to the Gazzetta dello SportHernandez annoyed with his confused and above all apathetic performance. The Frenchman even managed to collect a yellow card “for free” by putting a second ball into play on the field. In tough times for weeks, the former Merengue had already been severely attacked by the Italian press. Today, he seems more lost than ever. Finally, Tomori also annoyed his coach by being booked while he was on the sidelines. Result: he will be suspended for the next match against Girona. The return to training promises to be tense.
