CM: ‘A signal of distance’ – Milan leave Fonseca ‘alone’ after criticism | OneFootball

After Paulo Fonseca’s outburst in Bergamo, AC Milan were left in a difficult position, but it seems they have left it vacated after his most recent words to the press.

Milan are in a difficult place right now. Fonseca is in a difficult place right now. Ultimately, there are no real suggestions that either will get out of their situations, and this is a deeply concerning and frustrating thing for everyone involved.

Now, it seems those frustrations are bubbling over.

Speaking after the Atalanta defeat, the head coach admitted that the performance of the officials was deeply frustrating, but his words were ‘supported’ by the club, even if they have recently attempted to move away from this in recent days, as Calciomercato.com write.

Paolo Scaroni and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have both tried to distance themselves from his words, and the latter distanced himself from the Rossoneri last night, as he, Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani left San Siro early.

This ‘silence’, as the report words it, is striking and seems like a ‘signal of distance’ which must be explained or lessened quickly. However, with the Portuguese speaking about his frustrations about the team last night, the next steps must be done with caution.

A fallout of this magnitude does not serve well for anyone.
