Saki: Milan Should Not Rush on Fonseca Issue, Leao Needs to Put in More Effort

Former legendary AC Milan coach Saki recently gave an interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport. He believes that Milan should not rush to dismiss Fonseca, and specifically mentioned Leao, stating that the Portuguese player needs to step up.

About the 3rd Round of the League

Inter Milan is very strong. Not only because they defeated Atalanta 4-0, but more importantly, due to their control over the game. However, Inzaghi’s team still needs to strengthen its defense; they often retreat too deep, lacking pressure in the front, allowing opponents to advance into their territory. This is a risky choice, which could be costly when facing strong teams. Juventus and Roma seemed somewhat wary of each other. Given it’s early in the season, this can be understood. I believe Motta and De Rossi will achieve remarkable success.

About AC Milan

In the match against Lazio, AC Milan was like two different teams before and after the break. In the first half, Milan’s formation was tighter, with a regular pace. In the second half, Milan’s lines became loose, leaving gaps. They need to improve this issue in the next game. I don’t think it’s right to overly criticize Fonseca. Give him some time to work quietly, then we can judge his results. There must have been reasons for his selection. It wouldn’t be fair to deny his professionalism after just three games. Rome wasn’t built in a day; it’s okay to make mistakes and correct them.

About Theo and Leao

I’m not quite sure what happened. I think when the head coach realizes he made a mistake, other players should respect his decision, as head coaches do not change formations casually. As for Leao, I want to say that he has a lot of ability, but he doesn’t utilize it well. He needs to put in more effort to live up to people’s expectations of him.
