Sky journalist explains why Fonseca’s words ‘represent a point of no return’ | OneFootball

Peppe Di Stefano believes that Paulo Fonseca’s tirade after the Red Star game was one with specific recipients, and that a point of ‘no return’ has been reached.

The statements that Fonseca made after the game have generated plenty of headlines as he appeared to take aim at some individuals or even a group within the squad who are not giving everything.

The coach’s points revolved around one word: attitude. Fonseca thinks the team is strong but wants more commitment, more dedication and more concentration from some players, especially in games that might not seem as big as others.

Now we must understand how the relationship between the coach and the team will change, given that there will have no doubt being a discussion among the players about his words.

Speaking live from Milanello this afternoon on Sky, Di Stefano took stock of the situation at Milan following Fonseca’s strong statements against some players and what it means moving forward.

“The Milan coach was very sad. Last night there was a particular feeling, the feelings of the fans and the Rossoneri world were mixed,” he began (via Radio Rossonera).

“On one hand happiness for having won the fourth consecutive match, something that hadn’t happened since 2005 in the Champions League. On the other hand the acute dissatisfaction of Fonseca.

“The sentences were strong, the words don’t make sense for so many interpretations. He has it in for some element of the team, for the lack of commitment during the week, for the selflessness that was missing yesterday, for the attachment to the shirt.

“A series of accusations that have recipients, they are not words said at random and represent a point of no return with those players in particular. It should be noted that no director was present today at Milanello after the coach’s harsh outburst.”
