Paulo Fonseca is searching for solutions that could unleash Milan's qualities and potential after the rough start of the Serie A campaign.
The biggest issue, which seems even more amplified compared to last season, is the team's balance, which has a direct negative impact on the Rossoneri's defensive phase.
Much, if not all, depends on how the match is tactically interpreted in midfield. For this reason, today La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper, while commenting on each team's current state and what is needed moving forward, suggests that Tijjani Reijnders must take on a more central role in Fonseca's plans. He has not brought the needed impact in Milan. But with the Dutch national team, he's been excellent.
The Italian newspaper published the following headline, in fact:
"Fonseca's Puzzle. He can rely on Reijnders."
The man to rely on is Tijjani Reijnders, who is in the process of establishing himself. He confirmed this with the national team. Apart from his class, he plays with a lightness that Milan lacks.
Fonseca, whether with a three-man defence or with Fofana covering his back, should find a way to get him closer to the goal, as with the Netherlands.
