GdS: ‘Milan comeback’ – Fonseca relies on Leao to begin a charge in Serie A | OneFootball

The distance to the top of the table is already significant, but Paulo Fonseca has not yet abandoned the idea of ​​being able to fight for the Scudetto.

As this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) reports, being 10 points from the leaders Napoli is not an ideal situation, but Milan have a game in hand and more importantly their coach has belief they can battle for the title.

Obviously the Rossoneri cannot make any more mistakes, starting with this evening’s home game at San Siro against Empoli. If they want to begin climbing the table, the only option is to win tonight and ideally convincingly in front of over 70,000 fans.

Milan have shown in the Champions League that a surge is possible. After losing to Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, three wins in a row have put Fonseca’s side in an excellent position and can now even dream of qualifying directly for the round of 16, without going through the play-offs.

Now a streak like that is needed in the league too, where Milan are coming off two consecutive draws against Cagliari and Juventus. To start the comeback, Fonseca is relying in particular on Rafael Leao, who has returned to being the driving force.

Now the Portuguese coach is also satisfied with his compatriot as he explained yesterday in a press conference: “Now it is better to leave him on the pitch. We coaches use different strategies: the first with Rafa did not work, the second is bearing fruit.”

In short, the games on the bench seem to have done him good and a team that wants to climb the Serie A standings cannot do without their most important player.
