The AC Milan team is not in a very comfortable position right now. The Serie A campaign started with important obstacles and struggles: Zero wins for Paulo Fonseca with just two points collected out of nine possible, unfortunately for the fans who were eager to see the new face of the team after a promising pre-season preparation in the USA.
AC Milan's issues are obvious, especially the defence...
It's the backline, above all, that continues to be shaky, just like last season with Stefano Pioli. This season, despite reinforcements from the transfer market, the team still concedes way too many goals.
Besides Strahinja Pavlovic, Milan have also signed Emerson Royal from Tottenham. Regarding the Brazilian full-back, James Horncastle from The Athletic offered a rather sarcastic comment regarding the negotiations that have brought him to the San Siro
Here's what he said about the AC Milan's right-back, Emerson Royal:
"Milan keep conceding the same goal too, down Emerson Royal’s side. His €15million (£12.6m; $16.6m) signing from Tottenham Hotspur looks like the biggest donation in the history of Fondazione Milan as the club charitably tries to make his wish to become a footballer come true."
