The past seven days have seen AC Milan play rather questionably, and today, Fabrizio Biasin has commented on the matter.
A draw against Juventus and three points in the Champions League are decent results at face value. However, football is rarely a game played like this. The draw against Juventus was without major showings of Milanese threat, and the win against Slovan Bratislava was not much better.
Questions after both games have come thick and fast, and once again, Paulo Fonseca finds himself in a difficult position with faith in his ability falling again.
In the summer, a dominant Milan was promised. As we approach six months of his tenure, signs of dominance are difficult to see and in the past two games, you look for spells rather than anything more consistent.
Ultimately, he is currently falling short of his promise, and Biasin has spoken about the situation in an editorial for TMW, and his words have been transcribed by Milan News.
“The match with Juventus is not a problem of points, or not only. It’s a problem of ‘proposal’. Milan return from Bratislava with three excellent points for the league table and for morale [top 8 places at this point are possible]. However, there are some buts.
“The first: the match with Juventus is not a problem of ‘points’, or not only. It’s a problem of ‘proposal’. An AC Milan fan isn’t used to that stuff there, he can’t accept it. At the limit, he prefers to lose because he tried to win and, therefore, cannot stand such ugliness. Fonseca says he agrees, but the problem is that certain things he should understand first.
“The second: the first goal conceded by Slovan Bratislava is chilling, not acceptable even in the Third Category, a concentration of bad decisions and superficiality that the 2-3 final only partly mitigates. Fonseca is in search of continuity and certainty but, at the moment, he seems a bewildered man in a society that – at least in appearance – seems little interested in the general discontent.”
