CM: ‘The validity of his proposal’ – Fonseca’s Milan show themselves | OneFootball

After a summer of ‘Fonseca-ball’, AC Milan regressed when the Serie A season begun, and we have seen little promise of the Portuguese head coach’s style. Against Inter, though, the Rossoneri were the better team, because the team believed in his ideas, according to a report.

In America, there were several positive signs shown by Fonseca’s side. Of course, it was only pre-season so there will always be differences in some way, but the side pressed with a good intensity and looked assured of their roles.

The same cannot be said when Milan began the Serie A season, and there was a notable drop-off in terms of performance and confidence in the side. Whilst the Diavolo beat Venezia, it was not seen as the change needed, and the loss to Liverpool reinforced that. This then is why Sunday’s result is so significant.

As Calciomercato.com write, the victory belongs to Fonseca and it is due to his ‘crazy’ idea that hope has been restored in some way. Credit also must be given to the squad for their performances, and trust in the system.

Trust is the keyword here, and sacrifices were made by several players for the tactics to work, something which can form a new path for Milan, and can create a ‘definitive’ system – something which the Rossoneri have lacked so far this season.

Before the weekend, fears of a six point gap between themselves and Inter were everpresent, but now level on points with their rivals, Milan can push on after gifting themselves a golden restart.
