Among the many hot topics that have accompanied Milan's horror-filled start to the new season is the issue of a defensive phase that is possibly worse than last season’s already highly deficient performance, as relayed via Milannews.it.
The Rossoneri have played three games, conceding two goals in each. Beyond the goals conceded, which are obviously significant, the main concern is how the team positions itself on the field, as they seem vulnerable in every situation against any opponent.
Today, La Gazzetta dello Sport analyzes the situation, outlining the changes Paulo Fonseca has started considering during this break. The paper published the following headline:
"A defense to fortify. Tomori-Pavlovic as leaders, but Gabbia will play."
The focus is on Tomori and Pavlovic as starters, and the team’s defensive approach will need to change. The third man will be Matteo Gabbia, who has had very little playing time so far. The Italian newspaper continues: "Fonseca has worked hard on the defensive line. They will stay deeper to better protect Maignan."
