Capello says Milan were missing two ‘fundamentals’ against Parma | OneFootball

Former AC Milan coach Fabio Capello claims that the Rossoneri were missing two fundamental ingredients when they lost 2-1 against Parma last weekend.

Speaking during an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Radio Rossonera), Capello explained that some mentality changes are needed within Paulo Fonseca’s side if the results are going to improve quickly.

Milan have started the season poorly, drawing 2-2 with Torino after being 2-0 down until the 89th minute, and then losing 2-1 to Parma in a game that could have had a much worse scoreline for the Rossoneri if the newly-promoted side were more clinical.

Paulo Fonseca needs to see improvements from his side but they have a tougher game against Lazio to come this weekend.

As far as Capello is concerned, Milan were missing team spirit and a desire to fight for one another at the Stadio Ennio Tardini and that is something that the coach must sort out quickly.

“Let’s hope that Fonseca will be able to find the necessary formula because so far we have seen a lot of disorder and very little will on the part of the players. There are games in which team spirit and the will to fight are fundamental, and these things have not yet appeared at Milan,” Capello said.

Milan are going to find out their Champions League group stage opponents this evening and that will give Fonseca and the players an even clearer view of the task that lies ahead of them this season.
