Milan is not finding consistency.
The balance at the second break is really negative: four defeats, three wins, and two draws between the Serie A and Champions League competitions for Paulo Fonseca's team.
As written by Milannews.it, the coach is a very good person, and on a human level, he doesn't deserve criticism, but it's inevitable when the team loses like this.
The defeat in Florence is painful not only because of the result but also due to a series of situations that raise concerns.
The chaos surrounding penalties is unacceptable for a club with Milan's prestige.
It means the players made decisions independently of the coach's instructions.
Everyone does what they want, and it's not even the first time this has happened. Do you remember the cooling break incident in Rome? In a span of a month, two serious cases of insubordination. It seems like there's total anarchy at Milan, and Fonseca has no control over the players, unable to assert himself. And we repeat: on a personal level, it's unfortunate for the coach.

But these things cannot be seen at Milan. Ever.
Players grabbing the ball from their teammates to take penalties when there's a designated list of takers—such scenes are embarrassing.
Measures need to be taken, and here the management must step in. If Fonseca has the trust of the entire club, then the team must be spoken to, and no one should dare to disobey the Portuguese coach. Otherwise, it's time to change the coach.
The mistake was made in June when Ibra, Moncada, and Furlani decided to take a big risk with Fonseca rather than go for coaches with different characteristics.
Clearly, this team doesn't just need tactical guidance, but a coach with a different attitude in the locker room.
Let's also address the superficial mistakes made at the Franchi.

How can Milan's starting defender completely miss that header?
It's unacceptable for Tomori, and it's not the first time. How can Milan concede a goal from a throw-in and another from the opposing goalkeeper's clearance? These are glaring errors you'd expect to see in Serie D.
