Milan and Fonseca in the eye of the storm. There are those who hope that the Rossoneri will fall in Verona, the accusation against the coach is really very strong.
Milan are awaiting a very complicated away match, with the match against Verona promising to be a difficult challenge. The absences among the Rossoneri ranks, due to injuries, make the situation even more delicate, with Mr. Fonseca having to rely on a reduced squad and a group called upon to give their all to try to obtain a positive result.
At a critical moment of the season, Milan needs strong responses on the pitch. The difficulties in the standings and the increasing pressure on the players and the coach require convincing performances. Every match is essential to move up the rankings and give confidence to the environment. The trip to Verona could be the right opportunity to get back up and demonstrate that the team is ready to fight for its goals.
There are those who hope for the fall of Milan
However, there are those who hope that this away match could be a “fatal Verona” for Milan, a match that could mark a turning point for the Rossoneri's season. The environment is definitely very hot, as evidenced by this revelation which adds even more tension to a match from which one could understand Milan's future loud and clear. Quoting Mourinho, there are more and more “enemies” around Fonseca, in a moment that promises to be very delicate for the team's fate.
“How fatal Verona is”, the accusation against Fonseca is very harsh
The climate around Milan is definitely under the weather. The team arrives at this evening's match at the Bentegodi amidst a thousand uncertainties and with a week of criticism and controversy behind it that seems to show no signs of abating. Massimo Orlando at TMW Radio thought of lighting up the climate, which was already quite hot, even more. The journalist stated: “I hope it is the fatal Verona. Something needs to change at Milan. What is Milan doing, do they want to enhance young people, given that there are no longer any objectives? This is the impression. If Milan have to go on the pitch like this, with a team that is never at its full strength and important players punished or criticised, it seems to me that there is so much confusion that something has to change. I see Milan out of the Champions League fight and the only opportunity is to advance in the cup, but I don't think there is a chance. I challenge Fonseca's management of the field. He made mistakes in his training at least 15 times and it's not the club that decides but him.”
A match that matters
The match between Milan and Verona promises to be one of the decisive moments for Paulo Fonseca's future on the Rossoneri bench. The team, in difficulty in recent weeks, is called to respond with a convincing performance. The negative results have increased the pressure on the coach, and a defeat could seriously jeopardize his stay. The match therefore becomes crucial, not only for the standings, but also for the stability of the coach.
