"Priority to AC Milan", would say a great former Rossonero like Rino Gattuso, in one of his classic explosive press conferences. Instead, this time it’s a coach who had never been at Milanello before July and who is gradually taking more and more control of the Carnago sports center.

Paulo Fonseca is earning respect with tough, and in some ways drastic, decisions, but with a single aim: the good of Milan.
AC Milan comes first
The team first then the individuals; this must be clear to everyone. There will be no exceptions, and the exclusions of big names against Udinese is a clear example. Fonseca doesn’t look at anyone’s face; those who don’t fight for the shirt are out. And perhaps this is the right attitude for some players. Probably in the Rossonero dressing room, some thought they had a guaranteed place by divine right; instead, that is not the case. Every match you have to prove yourself; otherwise, you make way for those who perform better in training.
However, Fonseca, besides being a good person, is also proving to have the guts to do this. Not just in words but also in actions. And with the lineup put on the field against Udinese, he demonstrated that he was right.
Fonseca may not be a top coach, but he is doing everything possible to change things at Milanello.
In fact, he is trying to bring new ways of training and communicating. We will see what the results will be, but if the response is similar to that seen in the Derby or against Udinese, then it means he has a large part of the dressing room with him, as pointed out by Antonio Vitiello in his editorial piece for Milannews.it
Now, however, results are needed; continuity is necessary. Sporadic victories are not enough; Milan must win and lift trophies. So we will see tonight against Club Brugge if they can build on the success against Udinese.
