Tuttosport: Fonseca reflects after Real Madrid friendly – the best and worst performers | OneFootball

Following AC Milan’s friendly against Real Madrid, Paulo Fonseca has taken a chance to reflect on his team’s performances, with certain players being highlighted for their performances, in a positive and negative light.

Friendlies are not the be-all and end-all of a season, and by May next year, there will be very little remembered from the grand scheme of the fixtures. Instead, it is a chance for Fonseca to implement his ideas into a match setting, and allow players to raise their fitness levels after time away from football’s relentless calendar.

With that being said, it also offers coaches a chance to evaluate how certain players will fit into certain systems and what role others can play in the season to come, as reports have suggested with Mattia Liberali this morning.

As Tuttosport (via Pianeta Milan) reports, Fonseca has begun to evaluate some players, and there have been some notable performances from the Real Madrid fixture.

On a positive note, Samuel Chukwueze impressed once again, and the upcoming season could be a chance for him to show the real him after a disappointing campaign last season, elsewhere, Liberali, Lorenzo Torriani, Fikayo Tomori and Alexis Saelemaekers impressed.

For Bennacer, the notes are not positive, and he looks a notable distance away from his former self, and the reports read similarly for Marco Nasti.
