What the Milan - Lecce match means for the Rossoneri team this evening was perfectly summed up yesterday by Paulo Fonseca in the press conference.
"The victory in the derby makes sense if we win against Lecce and confirm that we have improved."
If the opposite happens, the Rossoneri would quickly find itself under scrutiny, as would its coach, because they would have wasted the opportunity to catch up with the surprise leader, Torino.
The impression, however, is that Milanello is not underestimating this commitment in any way, as confirmed by the fact that Paulo Fonseca will field his best possible eleven this evening, even with some changes keeping an eye on the next important Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen.
Now, though, all attention is focused on Lecce, as winning would significantly boost Milan's chances for the Scudetto and the second star, the only real concern for the Rossoneri this season. This was reported this morning by Tuttosport.
