Pellegatti expresses doubts about Fonseca’s style: “I don’t know if he has the players” | OneFootball

After starting the Serie A season with just two points from three games, doubts are in place about Paulo Fonseca’s ability to lead AC Milan forward. Things must change quickly, but Carlo Pellegatti has questioned if change can, or will occur, due to the style of the coach.

Looking at Milan’s current position, things can, surely, only get better. That is until you look at the fixture list. A return to San Siro awaits the squad when they will face newly promoted Venezia. Then, the Rossoneri host Liverpool, before a Derby della Madonnina.

A hellish return after the international break.

After the opening that the Diavolo have had, improvement is needed and fast. Unfortunately, that is not just the case on the pitch. Off it, there have been questions about the collectiveness of the squad, and their support for the new manager, highlighted most by Theo Hernandez’s and Rafael Leao’s absence from his cooling break team talk.

Ultimately, a lot of noise is surrounding the Milan team at present, and Fonseca must quieten it quickly. If he fails to do so, his future at the club will be questioned, more than it already is.

When speaking to Pressing, Pellegatti spoke about the situations involving Theo and Leao, whilst also taking stock of the managerial situation – his words have been relayed by Milan News.

“Do you completely rule out that it was Ibra who invited Fonseca to leave the two out? Ibra was very angry after Parma. Was Ibra supposed to be in Rome? I totally agree. Ibra, come back now! Right now the Swede is too important.

“He is the frontman of the club. Fonseca is in trouble, Ibra has to look the players in the face. His presence is essential. They told me that Ibra could extend his holiday until the game with Venezia. Eh no, Ibra’s presence is fundamental. The players and the coach also need the presence of the club.

“Milan’s problem is not Leao and Theo, but that in the last 12 games they have conceded 24 goals. The six goals taken this year are all the same: cross from the left and the player anticipates Milan’s central defenders. Fonseca thought he would set up a dominant game, but I don’t know if he has the players to do it.”
